It might be surprising, to some, but new research shows men are just as emotional as women. In a study published in the journal Nature, researchers at the University of Michigan followed groups of men and women for 75 days to learn more about daily emotions, both positive and negative. Even when factoring in women’s menstrual cycles, the researchers found little or no difference in emotions between men and women. It appears that men experience the same emotional fluctuations – emotional highs and lows – as women do.
Through the stories of a dozen athletes whose injuries and recovery advanced the field (including Joan Benoit, Michael Jordan, Brandi Chastain, and Tommy John), Dr. Geier explains how sports medicine makes sports safer for the pros, amateurs, student-athletes, and weekend warriors alike.
