Activity 'snacks' following meals may help maintain muscle mass: Study
University of Toronto
Interrupting prolonged sitting with periodic activity “snacks” may help maintain muscle mass and quality, according to a new study by researchers at the University of Toronto.
Daniel Moore, an associate professor of muscle physiology at the Faculty of Kinesiology & Physical Eduction (KPE) who led the study, found that short bouts of activity, such as two minutes of walking or body weight sit-to-stand squats, allow the body to use more amino acids from meals to build muscle proteins.

What's with the shields? Some WPIAL football teams are guarding against sign-stealing
Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
It’s quite common for something in college football to make its way to the high school level, whether it be offensive styles, defensive systems or even rules of the game. Call it football’s trickle-down effect.
But one thing from college that has made its way into high school football has nothing to do with offensive or defensive systems. It is coaches’ fears of opponents stealing their play signals from the sideline.
Although it is not rampant in high school football, don’t be surprised to see a coach these days being “shielded” during a game by — get this — pieces of cardboard.

What happens inside a high school football locker room at halftime? Here's a sneak peek
The Columbus Dispatch
From a practical standpoint, high school football coaches do not seem to consider a 20-minute halftime enough time to make dramatic shifts in strategy.
Rather, several subscribe to the theory that if they take care of the small things, the big things will take care of themselves.
“There’s never been a time we’ve come in at halftime that we’ve said there were no adjustments we needed to make and just have the kids keep doing what they’re doing. Halftime is huge for us,” Canal Winchester coach Jake Kuhner said. “The biggest thing is not so much adjusting, but just seeing what’s in front of us.”
