Karilyn Tuite English 9 Honors Period 1 Mrs. Shannon 24, May 2012 Barefoot Running There are a few runners today that can be seen running barefoot in races. Though many believe these people to be crazy, it may simply be that these runners are better informed. A small group of people have decided to go “all natural” in barefeet due to newly developing knowledge of the foot and its relationship with the modern running shoe. “Human beings are designed to run without shoes” –Alan Webb, Americas greatest miler. (Christopher McDougall pg..) Although societys inclination is to wear athletic shoes while running, there is evidence to show that barefoot running is more natural resulting in health and competitive benefits.
It does however have its negatives in that the ATP lasts only 10 seconds so can’t be used for long distance running for example. The lactic acid system, like the ATP-CP system, is extremely important to us, primarily because it too provides for a rapid supply of ATP energy. For example, exercises that are performed at maximum rates for between 1 and 3 minutes depends heavily upon the lactic acid system for ATP energy. Also, in some performances, like running 1500 meters or a mile, the lactic acid system is used predominately for the kick at the end of a race. A disadvantage of this system is the by product which is lactic acid which makes the muscles sore.
HGH is a naturally-produced hormone in a healthy human body. It is not this kind of HGH that is used to enhance, but it is the HGH made from advent genetic engineering that is created during a very complex process (Mathias 1). The breakthrough of HGH helped athletes to take an illegal substance without getting caught because HGH wasn’t able to be traced in a drug tests. Although HGH is not as popular as steroids, it still was a pretty big impact in the young sports world. The main difference between HGH and steroids is that steroids have many life threatening or serious side effects, but HGH on the other hand does not.
When we talk about exercising it really does not have to be a vigorous workout. Something as simple as walking is a great exercise. In the article "Fitness and the Brain: Can a walk a day keep Alzheimer's away" shows its readers that walking is not only good for your physical well being, but your mental health also. The article explains that Alzheimer, which is memory loss, is a growing disease in the US and worldwide. As of now, there is no curable medication or proven effective medication for Alzheimer's but exercise may increase brain health.
I have found that people respect and identify with you when you are dressed specific attire. D. Central Idea: Sagging pants, and how guys walk around with their under pants showing are a pop culture fads I understand, but let’s have some sort of pride in ourselves. Most young in today’s society have never even been in public in a suit to experience the advantage or disadvantage of doing so. In my experience, there is a certain difference when I’m dressed with the intentions of making my present felt or for the purpose of being taking serious. Transition: First of all let me make everyone understands that I’m not trying to say people who wear sagging pants are lesser individuals.
This lead to the design of the Heartmate 1, a small pump to assist the left ventricle. This worked well for helping the heart but wasn't ready for replacing it due to it being under powered, meaning that patients still had to use the loud and cumbersome Jarvik-7 while waiting for a transplantable heart. Then in the 1990's a man named Dr. Billy Cohn along with the help of his partner, Dr. O.H. "Bud" Frazier, took on the task of improving the design of the HeartMate 1 and came up with the HeartMate 2. The HeartMate 2 is a huge improvement to the previous model for it's size (uses shorter pipes), it's power (spins at 12,000 rpm), and most of all, it's endurance (one model has been running continuously in a lab for eight years with no signs of wearing out).
It compared it to tape, taking half of the injuries of that with players that actually had tape. Also as far as skin problems go, there is no need to worry about them with bracing. Braces contain no Elastoplasts or zinc oxides which often cause allergic reactions. Typically these Elastoplasts are found with zinc oxides in tape which can cause allergic reactions among some athletes. Callaghan goes on to list some key points comparing braces to taping, listing the advantages and disadvantages of both.
We run for two reasons: fear and pleasure, while the Tarahumara solely run for the love of the sport. Many people use running for stress relief or simply run to escape their problems for a short while. Tarahumara run for the simple joy of running, and may run for multiple days without tiring. They do what they love and what they love is running. Many may say this is because they live in a less stressful and uncivilized environment but maybe it's because they do what they love that allows the to be stress free.
I know all of you can run. However, because our team is large like you saw, we are quickly approaching the limit of runners we are allowed to have on our roster. So, what does that mean for you ten? That means there are going to be cuts this year, which means you’ll run a time trial to see who gets those spots. For the men, there are only 2 spots available, and for the women, 3 spots left.
Physical Therapy is proven to be one of the best jobs in the world. A lot of people really think there is no need for Physical therapy for many reasons. People might think that Physical Therapy is not that great of a job, but it is one of the best jobs in this world to help people improve their past injuries. You don’t really prove your thesis statement with some of your paragraphs. You give information, but you don’t show in each paragraph that the profession is good for the community and for healing people.
