摘要:

In brief: Skiing has become an increasingly popular sport for disabled persons over the past ten years. Special skiing programs are available throughout the United States for people of all ages with various disabilities. Disabled skiers encounter particular problems that are associated with the interaction between the environment and the effects of their specific disability. This paper discusses those problems, the basic requirements handicapped people must meet to successfully participate in these skiing programs, and the benefits of skiing for individuals with particular disabilities. These individuals include amputees, blind or deaf skiers, and skiers with neuromuscular disorders or spinal cord injuries.

摘要:

In brief: Ice hockey injuries can range from simple cuts and bruises to devastating spinal cord damage. The use of face protection drastically reduces the number and severity of facial and eye injuries. Professional hockey players seem to incur the most injuries (3.0 per player per year), while players in youth hockey incur the fewest (0.02 per player per year). Most injuries can be treated on the sidelines, but in most cases prevention is the key to staying in the game. The authors describe the mechanisms, management, and prevention of each type of injury.

摘要:

In brief: Millions of divers, swimmers, and other ocean-goers may encounter jellyfish. If they are stung, they may need either first aid if the case is mild, or extensive treatment if they suffer anaphylaxis, cardiorespiratory problems, or long-term reactions. Some severe cases may even be fatal. The author describes the mechanisms of envenomation and tissue reaction and discusses how to recognize and treat both the immediate and late sequelae.

摘要:

In brief: Previous studies have suggested that experienced rope jumpers have a reduced aerobic requirement. However, these exercisers typically train with a variety of techniques, which may affect aerobic requirements. In this study, nine experienced rope jumpers performed each of five basic techniques at the same speed. Results show that the“alternate foot”technique is the most efficient; the“crossover”technique, least efficient. A subgroup of four subjects was studied to determine if they consistently trained in the aerobic range during a“typical”workout. These results show that even highly skilled rope jumpers can maintain an adequate exercise intensity during their workouts.

摘要:

In brief: The common desire to participate in sports can be harnessed to encourage children and adolescents with type 1 diabetes to participate actively in controlling their disease. This is partly because the diabetic who successfully learns to control blood glucose during exercise by wise regulation of diet and insulin is rewarded with enhanced athletic performance. Age, duration of the diabetes, insulin dosage, hypoglycemia, seasonality, training, duration of training periods, and calorie intake must be considered in prescribing specific exercise regimens for diabetic youngsters. To participate in endurance sports, persons with diabetes must manage the effects of exogenous insulin on their normal triphasic metabolic fuel supply derived from muscle, liver, and adipose tissue. If educational guidelines are followed and potential risks due to complications are taken into account, the benefits of regular exercise early in the course of the disease outweigh potential disadvantages.

摘要:

In brief: The acute effect of exercise on blood glucose was observed on 130 occasions in eight adolescents with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. All subjects engaged in 30 minutes of either structured aerobic exercise or unstructured recreational activity. The magnitude of decline in the blood glucose level with exercise corresponded to the preexercise blood glucose value: Higher preexercise values were associated with larger declines, while nonelevated preexercise values were associated with smaller declines. No significant differences in glycemic effect were observed between the two categories of exercise. The authors conclude that in adolescents with moderately well-controlled diabetes, recreational activities can be as effective in lowering elevated blood glucose levels as structured exercise.

摘要:

In brief: This article introduces terms and concepts associated with resistance training in order to reduce the existing confusion in this area. The authors describe the sports associated with resistance training—weight lifting, power lifting, and bodybuilding—and discuss the benefits of exercising with free weights vs resistance training machines. They also make recommendations for individuals who are starting a resistance training program.

摘要:

The supply of human growth hormone now available to athletes seems small and costly, but drug testing experts agree that abuse of the substance could become a serious problem, especially if synthetic hormone becomes more widely available.

摘要:

The author argues that synthetic human growth hormone is likely to be abused by athletes, and concludes that congressional action is necessary to prevent widespread abuse.
