The Left Leg

As the sun shined against the green turf, it left heat, fumes coming off the CBC football field. A low humming noise creeped onto the field as the cars flew by on Highway forty. The students walked around the track after the Red Devil’s coach called a timeout midway thru the second half of the game. As one of the Cadets cruised down the field with his hair flying back behind his head the roar of the crowd sounded like a tornado siren. His fellow teammate screamed, “Here, here” while swinging his…

Companionship. On a journey like this, it’s not important. She knew that Preston would assume the she couldn’t do it alone. She thought to herself, who will I get paired with this time? As she listened to her given instructions, words putting themselves in order in her brain, understanding what needed to be done. She waited and waited. Finally he gave her, her long awaited answer. “Now for your partner.” Preston paused. “Your partner is...Adam.” he stated with serious expression. He couldn’t be…

looking away from the camera, focused on her work. Makeup is subtle and her hair is pulled back, giving her an effortless beauty. This is done because L’eggs does not want to draw the focus to her face. The main focus is her right leg, which is pointed into the air. Her legs are tanned and toned, made to look even better with L’eggs. The visual provides the reader with a confident woman who achieved her self-confidence by wearing L’eggs, and that encourages women to buy the…

walking over of the living room and towards the kitchen. I looked over at Gerard who was talking to his brother, Mikey. I felt Gerard trail his hand higher up on my leg. He kept talking to his brother acting like he wasn’t doing a thing. What he was doing wouldn’t have mattered, if he wouldn’t have gotten me hard before we left and did nothing about it. But I just got rid of the fucking boner I had. I…

increasing strength and FES with function. FES can stimulate muscle contraction for exercise, bladder management, grasping, standing, and walking, among other functions. For example, in spinal cord injury patients, electrodes can be applied to the leg muscles and sequential contractions of flexor/extensor groups can be used to drive walking movements. These processes were useful in early neuroprostheses,…

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 thoughts. For what I thought was the weight of the world pummeling me, was every player packing on top of me. Five one thousand, six one thousand. I hear two pops followed by a shrill sound of a whistle. The play is…

Strength and conditioning coaches (SCC) have strived to find exercises that transfer to aid the development of specific sports skills. These exercises come in many forms, from resistance to body weight or from more technical based Olympic style weightlifting exercises, such as the clean and jerk, with the aim being to benefit the athlete with transferable capabilities that improve the sport specific skill (Hori et al., 2008; Behm, 1985). For the coach to design an effective training plan, how an…

else; there was not such a big of a space between us. I felt that we needed to work with each other in order to form the triangle. In the second round, I did not move a lot because I was a little bit confused of what we needed to do, but I saw that we left the middle ground empty. We were kind of in a circle, and no one was in the middle of it. Even though, we all were next to somebody…
