This system is dominant for the 75.2% of game time spent in zone 1, possibly standing or walking, and 15.1% of the game spent in zone 2, jogging or power walking (Appendix 1). This could have occurred when realigning on field after performing 18 defensive touches or when shuffling on field to change position (Appendix 2). During these efforts, the player would have been utilising the extra available oxygen to clear lactate and replenish CP stores. This is again evident during the 11 substitutions undertaken by a female player during an elite level game (Appendix 2). Due to the low intensity nature when off field, the athlete can recover efficiently when aerobically

Suddenly I was in my school’s health center, surrounded by football players, each more muscular and coordinated than I, and each with a much more plausible reason for their injury. The observation left me smiling.

(Graham, 1998) This shows the importance of caffeine in endurance sports such as cycling, running, and soccer which require a great deal of physical stamina in order to compete successfully. Studies also show that caffeine has very little affect on athletes requiring quick burst of energy such as sprinters and swimmers. Also caffeine has been known to decrease fatigue in athletes, which plays a physical as well as psychological role in the performance of an athlete.

Caffeine is a natural central nervous system stimulant. It is considered a drug that if is overly consumed can be dangerous for one’s body. Caffeine is a temporary energy booster that improves mood and alertness for most people, mainly athletes. It can be an eye-opener in the morning, could be drunk or eaten on practice brakes, and for some, it just became a habit that they cannot go through a day without a cup of coffee before exiting their doorways. Furthermore, it requires good health and stamina for athletes to perform throughout the game, particularly the one in teams,

     Steroid.org noted only two external side affects (balding,changes in skin) and noted only the following 11 internal changes: Psychic, Feminization, Cardiovascular, Gynecomastia, Growth Deficits, Headaches, Kidney problems, Liver problems, Immune system, Impotence, and Stomachaches. Which all may seem bad but are less of a threat to athletes than most prescribed allergy medicines. The article even goes on to admit, the biggest factor leading to negative side affects is misuse. A regulated and informed usage policy would be very beneficial to the game as well as the athletes themselves.

This energy system only lasts for 10 seconds. It is used for high intensity, short duration activities e.g. 100m sprint, weightlifting, shot putt

As all baseball fans know, a recent episode of the HBO series Real Sports featured Seattle Mariners pitcher Steve Delabar whose professional baseball career was unexpectedly revived by a revolutionary new pitching training technique he had experimented with only for the purpose and in the context of his high school baseball coaching duties, long after he had resigned himself to the fact that his major league pitching career had been ended prematurely by a major elbow injury caused by the physiological stress of pitching. This was the inspiration for my new sports product invention: the revolutionary Pitching Velocity Training Strap.

“These things, in my judgment, work better than most scientists believe,” says Gary Wadler of the New York University School of Medicine, “the athletes figured out how well these work long before scientists.” (pg. 13)

The most common way of doing this in modern football is to load up with painkillers. This practices is being employed to such an extent that some players report playing numb. Calvin discussed his personal encounter with painkillers by saying “whether it be Toradol, Tylenol, T3s – you know, gettin’ cortisol shots, things like that. You know, those are the main things that I did, or that I took” (qtd in “Calvin Johnson’s Retirement”). He later went on to admit that the team doctors are “trying to do whatever they can to get you back on the field and make your team look good” (qtd in “Calvin Johnson’s Retirement”). The clear display of apathy from team doctors truly puts on display the extent to which NFL players are mistreated. Not only are player’s health complications disregarded during their careers, there is ever less help after they have

There are many dilemmas that plague sports. Some of those can range from bribing, cheating, racism, and sports safety. In the past the NBA had to deal with the betting scandal involving Tim Donaghy and baseball has had to deal with the issue of performance enhancers. The sports industry generates around half a trillion dollars a year and it has to deal with multiple dilemmas at the youth, college, and professional level. A growing issue with sports has been the number of injuries that athletes have had to deal with. Typical sports injuries range from twisting ankles, blowing out knees, and dislocating shoulders. Surgery and rehabilitation have helped athletes to recover and get them back on the playing field faster

Physical and mental strength plays a major role in a football player’s life. Football is a twelve month process, which consists of off- season (six months), in -season (five months), and the Transition (one month). During off-season the football player’s main goal is gaining strength, size, and much power, in-season they continue to practice and work on maintaining the gains in strength during the off-season, and the transition is when they rest and recuperate their body from the physical exercise. Football players are constantly bumped and knocked down during practices

Unfortunately, maintaining this "machine" often meant that athletes would use drugs such as amphetamines, barbiturates, steroids, or cortisone injections not for the purpose of treatment and cure, but for the purpose of stimulating the mind and body in order to perform more violently as a professional. (Meggyesy, 1970) The prevalence of these drugs in the NFL could be seen in Meggyesy's words, "Most NFL trainers do more dealing in these drugs than the average junky." (Meggyesy, 1970, p. 83)

Caffeine is a very popular stimulant among athletes because most believe that it provides energy, increases alertness, and quickens reaction time. When in beverage form,

It can be seen that if an athlete choses to use the tools of sports phycology they will effectively increase their sporting performance and ability. These tools have helped me to improve volleyball ability and

Engineering is a field dominated by men in today's society, for many reasons. When people think about engineering they think about men with glasses and never does a women come to mind. However, there have been many studies on the skills that keep women out of engineering as a career yet there is no proof that women cannot or do not possess the skills needed to be a successful engineer. Therefore, it is thought and stereotyped that women do not have the skills to have an engineering career. Due to the studies and stereotypes the questions then arise as to what makes a good engineer. Many have the same response to the question but not one skill can a women not posses. Women are stereotyped as being dumb just because they are pretty. If a
