	Article: Why the Old Raiders keep playing . . . and winning - by Phil Campbell, M.S., M.S.A., FACHE, AGE 50

	Author of a fitness book for middle-age adults says it’s the way they practice The reason older players – like many of the playoff bound Oakland Raiders – keep playing beyond their time, is due to the “anaerobic exercise” that they perform during practice, says health and fitness expert Phil Campbell. “Anaerobic exercise - the hard and fast, sprinting types of exercise - is shown by medical researchers to make the body produce significant amounts anti-aging growth hormone,” says Campbell, age 50 and author of a fitness book (Ready, Set, GO! Synergy Fitness - Pristine Publishers $19.95). It’s widely reported that several well-known entertainers take growth hormone injections for its anti-aging, body fat cutting, muscle toning, youth rejuvenating properties. And growth hormone injections have been banned because of its ability to improve performance. Campbell cites new research that shows the types of workouts performed by NFL players can make the body increase this hormone by 530%. And this keeps older players “strong, lean and muscular,” says Campbell. “Growth hormone is given to children with clinical stature growth problems to help them grow normally,” says Campbell, “however, it does not make adults grow taller, but it does reverse several measurable clinical factors of the middle-age spread, which has been named ‘the somatopause’ by researchers.” The middle-age somatopause is signified by energy decline, weight-gain (around the middle, and hips), loss of muscle, and wrinkled skin after the age of 30. “Anaerobic exercise should be a part of every fitness routine,” says Campbell. However, he cautions that physician clearance and a progressive build-up of the high-intensity exercise is necessary to prevent injury. Campbell cites 160 biomedical research studies in his book, Ready, Set, Go! Synergy Fitness and some of these studies show that increasing growth hormone can result in an 8% gain in muscle and a 14% loss in body fat. Free newsletter available at www.ReadySetGoFitness.com
