Endurance

It all started on an Autumn afternoon back in 2012, when my beloved mother told me that she decided that it was best for me, my sister and her to move to U.S.A. Don’t get me wrong, since I was a little girl, I wanted to travel the world, I wanted to experience new things, meet new people, talk different languages. But not at twelve. I wanted to stay in Barranquilla, Colombia; I wanted to stay with my culture, my traditions, my family and everything that I was accustomed to. However I was only…

Multiple users of a supplement called, pre-workout, do not understand what they are putting into their body and how it effects them. Nearly seventy percent of adolescents and young adults have admitted to using a nutritional supplement before exercise at least once. (Gonzalez, Walsh, Ratamess, Kang, Hoffman, 2011). Many people believe that this popular rising product helps improve performance and delay fatigue while working out. It is a product used by multiple young adults that are uneducated…

The word conformist in simpler words is a follower. It is a proven fact that people who lead are happier than when they follow. The end of the quote says, “. . . stoicism of a cow standing in the rain.” Stoicism is the endurance of pain without showing the pain. From experience I know that when it starts raining cows move to shelter. Cows tend to follow others. If one stays out in the rain then another one will. And eventually all of them are standing in the rain. Now I…

Last week my grandmother fell. In one little misstep, she hit the ground breaking both her legs. How is that even possible? She didn’t even trip over anything! Sadly, the cause of such breakage was due to her weak brittle bones. She never made time for exercise during her entire life. She can’t recall a single day when she broke a sweat. This complete lack of exercise caused her bones to become delicate and frail. She always had an excuse and never made time for her body. Sadly, most Americans…

A correlation between the novels is that Hosseini challenges the taboo nature around sexual oppression, hence, introduces and clarifies the sexual exploitation the protagonists face. This a pivotal point in both novels; as it is raising awareness of a topic that is often invisible in Afghanistan. In A Thousand Splendid Suns Mariam, despite the lack consent, is forced to have sex with Rasheed and left to “look at the frozen stars in the sky”. This indicates that the intimate relationship took…

The skill I selected is acceleration because it determines how quickly the runner can reach its full. The ways APC is improving my acceleration is by power clean, and glute hamstring raises because it mostly focuses on the lower body. Power clean shows it importance by performing with a fairly high amount of weight while accelerating rapidly. This quote helps supports my evidence, “In a meta-analysis, Wilson et al. reported a significant interference effect of simultaneous AE and RT. Large…

Defibrillator Gallery in Chicago. If you think he did this locked away in a distant room, reconsider; Azcona’s performance took place in front of a confused audience. Two ‘painful’ hours later his act of rebellion was shown to spectators and his endurance was both applauded and greet with disgust, although…

physical activity is an area of research that we have not yet focused on in Dr. Wright’s lab, the work of Dr. Sam Marcora has been able to highlighted the ability of mental fatigue to effect physical activity for both normal individuals and high endurance athletes (Marcora et al., 2009; Martin et al., 2016). Dr. Marcora's work has focused on inducing high levels of mental fatigue in individuals through the administration of cognitive tasks (e.g. Stroop task & AX-CPT) for extended periods of…
