Meniscus

I hear a crack in my leg. I got up and try walking but I cannot I cannot walk; my knee keeps giving out. Was this is a cue that I should just stop cheering? I went back to Dr. Goldberger; he was not too happy to see me. He told me that I tore my meniscus. It was around 4 pm on December 8th my team went to warm ups to compete. I have not stunted in over two weeks so my limbs were still a little numb. My stunt group hit on the first shot; I forcefully ran and threw my full on the tumbling…

True Love Why is it that we as human beings complain so much?

One one thousand, Two one thousand. I place my hand on the grass. I size up to the opponent ahead of me. The cheers mute, yet my frantic beating heart pulsates, burgeoning in volume, penetrating my ear drums. Filled with adrenaline and drenched in sweat, I feel the brisk wind linger. I grit my teeth, ready to take action. Three one thousand, four one thousand. The ball snaps and number 50 is my target. I jump towards him, but he dives down. As he wraps around my leg, my mind wraps around my…

This is one of the few studies that collected data on athletes that completed a preseason training program. A trained athlete completed a 6-week muscular training program that incorporated flexibility, plyometric, and weight training. The entire study consisted…

measurements of the weight, thus making the results unreliable. A systematic error that did occur was the pH concentrations were not close enough to what they were labelled to be, 3, 5, 7, and 9. A random error that may have occurred was when measuring the meniscus of the pH levels, might have been reading it from the wrong angle, also the experiment might not have been timed for exactly one minute, it could have been a couple seconds over. The results within the data were very precise. Each…

these experiments. However, there are some inaccuracies. The potential errors that may lead to inaccuracies: 1.

The reason I had to go down there was because my older brother who was 12 at the time had to get a surgery done on his knee. He had the surgery because he got hurt in football. When he was in the game a kid from the other team went to tackle Bryce. When Bryce got tackled the kid hit Bryce in the side of the knee with his helmet. He kept playing until the end of the game.
