Low-impact is best, experts say
By LAURA JENKINS
Staff Writer
Aerobic dance, the product of
a health-conscious society, is
probably one of the most
popular physical fitness trends of the
decade. Not only can aerobics be
enjoyable, but if done regularly, this
form of exercise is an effective way
to get in shape and stay healthy.
However, it is important to
remember that for all the benefits
that can be gained by doing aero
bics, there are also some health risks
involved.
The aerobics phenomenon
became widespread in the early
1980s. Several years later, exercise
professionals noticed an increase in
aerobic dance-related injuries. They
found that high-impact aerobics
exercise which involves repetitive
bouncing or jogging for extended
periods of time can cause injury
to the muscles, bones and joints in
the feet and legs.
Elena Tomaro, aerobics coordina
tor for Spa Health Club of Chapel
Hill, said experts found three or
four years ago that they could
replace the jogging and bouncing
done in high-impact aerobic dance
with new, safer movements to
decrease the risk of impact injury.
"They found they could create
moves to help people get the same
cardiovascular workout without giv
ing the same degree of impact to the
Health Focus
joints by doing it with walking
moves instead of bouncing moves,"
Tomaro said.
Low-impact aerobics increases the
efficiency of the heart, lungs and cir
culatory system by increasing the
body's ability to take in oxygen.
A low-impact workout replaces
repetitive pounding movements and
usually includes combinations of
lunges, stretches and lateral
movements.
Dr. Timothy Taft, an assistant
professor at the UNC School of
Medicine, said he thought there was
not yet a clear and official definition
of which kind of aerobics workout
should be labeled high-impact aero
bics and which should be labeled
low-impact aerobics. However, Taft
said, he thought aerobic workouts
that incorporate low-impact moves
might decrease the risk of injuries.
"Although I have not seen any
studies to prove that there are fewer
impact-type injuries from low
impact aerobics, it makes sense that
there are," Taft said. "It seems that
we are seeing fewer injuries of the
impact kind."
There is still a risk of sustaining
injuries such as stress fractures and
muscle strains in either type of aero
bics if people try to do more than

According to student body presi

extremely low, was growing by leaps

and he soon finds himself amidst
unscrupulous dealings.
By being one of Gekko 's brokers
and the middleman on imny of his
deals, Fox starts to make t big. He
does not mind the treacheiy because
the money is excellent, he lives well
and he meets and falls for Darien
Taylor (Daryl Hannah), Gekko's
interior decorator. Everything goes
his way until Gekko decides to
liquidate the airline that Fox's father
works for.
"Wall Street" depicts the other side
of the stock market. For the most
part, stockbroking is portrayed as a
non-glamorous sales job with head
aches, long hours, stress and little
security. Early in the film, Fox asks
his father for money after a $50,000
year; near the end, an older broker
with almost no savings and a family
is fired after failing to make quota. .
The movie also shows how companies
can be destroyed and thousands of
workers can be laid off in a tycoon's
transactions.
Douglas again proves that he is one
of Hollywood's greatest actors by
following up his role in "Fatal
Attraction" with an even better
performance as Gordon Gekko. He
flawlessly embodies this successful
shark, and he received a Golden
Globe nomination for best dramatic
actor for this part. However, even
with Douglas's performance, Sheen
is not overshadowed, turning in a
stellar performance as the ambitious
Fox.
"Wall Street" will definitely be
remembered as one of this year's best
movies. The plot makes the film good,
but Douglas' acting elevates "Wall
Street" from a good film to a great
film.
