INTRODUCTION here is a great amount of discussion about whether inTdividuals who do not have celiac disease should consume gluten-free diets. Gluten-free diets certainly have been a topic of discussion among athletes. Some athletes believe that consuming a gluten-free diet provides an ergogenic (performanceenhancing) effect, despite the lack of evidence to support this belief. In this Nutritionist’s View, I will first provide a definition of celiac disease and then present research that has been conducted in the area of consuming gluten-free diets.

1. Always remember what the “prime objective” of any exercise or physical activity plan should be: encourage lifelong activity. Short-term adaptations (e.g., weight loss, fitness gains) shouldbeconsidered secondary. 2. Between allowing clients to choose their own pace and deciding for them, prefer the former but monitor for extreme responses (too low, too high). Setting an intensity even slightly higher than what the client would have selected may reduce the pleasure of exercise. 3. Instructing clients to find a pace that makes them “feel good” is a good method of individualization. The process can be aided by asking them to maintain at least a +3 on a rating scale, called the Feeling Scale, where +5 is marked as “very good,” +3 is “good,” +1 is “fairly good,” −1 is “fairly bad,” −3 is “bad,” and −5 is “very bad.” 4. Just as you systematicallymonitor heart rate and perceived exertion, make the assessment of pleasure/displeasure responses a part of your practice.

INTRODUCTION Exercises to promote shoulder girdle stability are integral components of strength and conditioning, rehabilitation, and postrehabilitation exercise programs for clients who perform repetitive overhead motions during sports or occupational activities (2,3, 6–12). Functional imbalances between the upper trapezius and the lower trapezius, middle trapezius, and the serratus anterior muscles have been associated with conditions like shoulder instability and subacromial impingement syndrome, which can cause shoulder pain and dysfunction (2–4,6–12). This article is not meant to help readers diagnose or treat shoulder pain or injuries. Clients should be free of shoulder or upper-extremity injuries and related pain before performing these exercises. The onset of injury-related pain warrants termination of exercise and immediate client consultation with a physician, physical therapist, or other health care provider.

Vitamin K is a fat-soluble vitamin that is required for modification of proteins needed for blood clotting. Vitamin K also is important for bone mineralization, cell growth, and metabolism of blood vessel walls. There are three forms of vitamin K: vitamin K1 or phylloquinone, vitamin K2 or menaquinone, and vitamin K3 or menadione (see Figure for chemical forms). Phylloquinone is of plant origin and used mainly for blood clotting. Menaquinone is produced typically by probiotic bacteria in the large intestine, although it also is found in small amounts in meat, fish, and fermented food. Menaquinone is important in bone mineralization, cell growth, and metabolism of blood vessel walls. Menadione is the synthetic form of vitamin K and not used in humans and also is known as a “menaphthone.” Although vitaminK is studiedmainly for its blood-clotting role and its role in bone mineral density, there has been research on vitaminK and osteoarthritis.

do I start? ” This might be a common question you ask yourself when a client ac-knowledges trouble beginning and sticking with healthy behavior change. Although health coaches are not like mechanics who look at a sluggish engine and know which tools they ’ ll need, there are specific skills that can be used to help clients make sustainable lifestyle changes. The purpose of this article is to help you fill your toolbox with practical behavior change strategies. To continue with the theme of beginning, this inaugural article will cover assessment tools from a behavioral perspective. My early training as a clinical social worker provided simple wisdom for helping foster change, that is, to start where the client is. We can discover this starting point through conducting a comprehensive assessment. Client assessments help identify the scope of the problem, potential barriers, and motivation for change. The information gained directs us to the most appropriate intervention setting and strategies, measurable anchors for goals, and methods to monitor accomplishments and evaluate effectiveness.
