Actually, the environmental implications of meat production and consumption far outweighs the non-meat protein sources (I attended a conference presentation on this last year; I could dig up the details if you'd like). It's certainly possible to consume that much protein (irrelevant to whether that amount is good/bad)…

Just attended a presentation at the Rocky Mountain Chapter ACSM where a registered dietitian described the lack of benefit of eating more than 2g per kg bodyweight of protein, and the possible dangers of doing such if calcium intake is lower than recommended. For the case of the latter, without proper calcium intake…

Agreed. My undergrad adviser told me to never pay for a graduate degree. Especially in the hard sciences, there are a plethora of GA positions that will cover tuition, stipend, and insurance.

Alright, biomechanics researcher and (more important to this conversation) a certified strength and conditioning specialist (and previous OEC trainer) here. The article that the article you linked to (seriously, why'd you use a secondary source for something like that?) has some significant issues in its procedures…

The reality is for a low-mileage, recreational athlete this isn't that huge of a deal. But the once mileage starts to increase significantly and/or performances start being differentiated by very low percentages, the training implications can be fairly extreme.
Relatively small changes in vertical displacement…

Oh gosh, very few trends in the literature settle this argument (and I suspect for the links I post below, just as many can be found in opposition). Significant differences have been found in acceleration GRF patterns between the two conditions:

This is reflected in the…

Funny, I teach biomechanics at a university and use Riley/Kerrigan's work and Runner's World interview of the perfect example how the media cherry-picks research and data in the research to spin a story. There is plenty of further literature indicating the significant differences in the kinetics and kinematics…

Or at least if the map was based off of median speeds instead of means; in its current state it doesn't represent ANY of my experiences as I've moved around...
