Mountaineering

British team coach Dave Binney developed FUNdamentals six years ago and since then it has proved very popular with climbing coaches, especially those working in walls with young people.
The workshops contain both theoretical and practical elements, concentrating on good practice and ways to teach climbing movement. Children participating in any sport are at risk of injury due to inappropriate training techniques and climbing is no different in this respect. Instilling good practice from the start lays a solid foundation for the future. The workshops draw on the findings of academic research, and the knowledge and experience of the British team coaches.

New discovery may lead to immunization against cardiovascular disease  

Low levels of naturally occurring antibodies may represent an increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease, particularly stroke in men. This discovery, published in the academic journal Atherosclerosis, has now led to attempts to develop an immunization against cardiovascular disease. Atherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) is an inflammatory disease in which the walls of the blood vessels are thickened and become less elastic. It can cause blood clots and other cardiovascular diseases. It is not known precisely what causes atherosclerosis, but the immune system probably plays an important role. Research scientists suspect that various oxidised forms of what is known as bad cholesterol, LDL (low-density lipoprotein), contribute to the development of the disease. A research team from Karolinska Institutet, in cooperation with Lund University, has now shown that a particular type of naturally occurring antibodies, anti-PC, which are targeted against the lipid portion of the LDL molecule, play an important role in the development of cardiovascular disease.
The findings show that individuals who have low
