The effect of amphetamines on selected physiological components related to athletic success.
Joe V. Chandler,Steven N. Blair +1 more
TL;DR: The results demonstrate that amphetamines have no effect on aerobic power, but further research will be necessary to clarify the drug's influence on muscular power-dominated movements.

Role of Physical Activity and Fitness in the Characterization and Prognosis of the Metabolically Healthy Obesity Phenotype: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.
Francisco B. Ortega,Cristina Cadenas-Sanchez,Jairo H. Migueles,Idoia Labayen,Jonatan R. Ruiz,Xuemei Sui,Steven N. Blair,Vicente Martínez-Vizcaíno,Carl J. Lavie +8 more
TL;DR: The major findings and conclusions from the current meta-analysis are that MHO individuals are more active, spend less time in SB, and have a higher level of CRF than MUO individuals, suggesting that their healthier metabolic profile could be at least partially due to these healthier lifestyle factors and attributes.
