50 years of Title IX: The defining moments of women's sports
Sports Illustrated
When Title IX was passed 50 years ago, there wasn’t a single mention of “sports” or “athletics” anywhere in the bill. The focus was on prohibiting sex-based discrimination and leveling the playing field for girls and women in education, but it didn’t take long for those protections to literally be taken to the field. Without Title IX, it’s difficult to imagine that women’s sports would be what they are today. From the youth level to college to professional, the success of girl and women athletes today can all be directly tied to a law passed in 1972.

Arizona softball player uses her challenges to support those with cerebral palsy
Arizona Republic
Charlie Duffy hits mute on the TV in her home as she is being interviewed by a reporter. But she won't turn off the Women's College World Series game.
It keeps her connected to her passion.
Softball drives her through the ups and downs, the 20-something procedures she has had in her life, the cerebral palsy that she has never used as an excuse for not chasing her dreams. The Phoenix Northwest Christian High School 15-year-old is unable to join her youth club team, the Killer Bees, after undergoing her fourth surgery, the second major one, on May 23 that will keep her away from playing softball for a while.

The duality of a reporter-coach
Flathead Beacon
Writes Micah Drew: "I have not missed participating in a season of track and field or cross country since 2004. From competing for a youth club and later the Griz and then as a high school coach my spring and fall days have followed a nearly identical regimen: around 3:30, I throw on my running shoes and head out to the track.
This spring however I was unable to juggle the responsibilities of my day job at the Beacon with reliably being an assistant coach at Glacier High School. For the first time in nearly two decades, I didn’t show up to an official track practice once."

No NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) benefits while wearing high school uniform
NFHS
With regard to NIL, we realize that high school students can be tremendous entrepreneurs – they already are in a number of capacities. Students have the ability to be recognized for their athletic prowess and that can be a nice opportunity for a young person.
However, the NFHS and its member associations believe high school student-athletes should not be able to benefit as professionals from something they do not own – that is their high school uniform. The NFHS and its member state associations would not support a situation that would involve a member school and a student-athlete entering into a professional contract while representing that member school.

High schools are starting shooting teams in Southwestern Indiana
Evansville Courier & Press
A new sport has emerged at the high school level throughout the state and is establishing a strong foothold in Southwestern Indiana.
It doesn’t involve a ball. It’s not a measure of endurance or athleticism, either.
It instead requires guns and ammunition. Six high schools in the Evansville area — Mater Dei, Boonville, Gibson Southern, North Posey, South Knox and Tecumseh — are among 29 members of the Indiana State High School Clay Target League, which has existed since 2016. This spring there were 484 participants statewide who spent nine weeks practicing and competing before this weekend’s state tournament.

Antibiotics wreak havoc on athletic performance
UC Riverside
New research demonstrates that by killing essential gut bacteria, antibiotics ravage athletes’ motivation and endurance. The UC Riverside-led mouse study suggests the microbiome is a big factor separating athletes from couch potatoes. Other studies have examined the way that exercise affects the microbiome, but this study is one of few to examine the reverse — how gut bacteria also impact voluntary exercise behaviors. Voluntary exercise involves both motivation and athletic ability.

How high-intensity interval training can reshape metabolism
eLife
Scientists have shed new light on the effects that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) has on human skeletal muscle, according to a study in men. The findings suggest that HIIT boosts the amount of proteins in skeletal muscle that are essential for energy metabolism and muscle contraction, and chemically alters key metabolic proteins. These results may explain the beneficial effects of HIIT on metabolism and pave the way for additional studies exploring how exercise impacts these processes.

Are ultra-processed foods harmful? Experts weigh the evidence
American Society for Nutrition
Dietary guidelines form the basis for nutrition advice and regulations around the world. While there is strong scientific consensus around most existing guidelines, one question has recently stirred debate: Should consumers be warned to avoid ultra-processed foods?
Two papers published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (AJCN) outline the case for and against using the concept of ultra-processed foods to help inform dietary guidelines beyond conventional food classification systems.
