T ips for adjusting
your body to
summer exercising
Many activities that are fairly
easy when performed in cool
weather become more difficult in
the summer months because of
hot and humid temperatures.
You can make your summertime
exercise more pleasurable if you
will help your body adjust. Your
body needs gradual, yet repeated
exposure to outside activities in
order to adjust properly.
Here are some hints and
precautions that will make the
transition to exercising in the
heat less stressful:
1.Wear as little clothing as you
can. By exposing a large amount
of body surface area, more sweat
can evaporate from the skin,
thus allowing the body to cool.
2.Wear cotton clothing. Cotton
lets your body breathe. It's the
coolest material because it
absorbs prespiration and lets
excessive moisture evaporate as
you exercise.
3.Avoid wearing any heavy
sweat suit or any type or
rubberized suit while exercising
in the heat. This type of clothing
raises the body temperature to
dangerous levels and increases
the tendency toward heat illness.
It also causes excessive stress on
the heart and lungs.
4.Wear light colored clothing to
reflect the sunlight.
5.Pick a convenient time to
exercise but try to avoid the mid
day hours (between 10:00 a.m.
F ootball
exams
Physical examinations for
football candidates at
Perquimans High School and
Perquimans Union School will be
given Thursday, July 5th.
Candidates should report to the
high school gym at 4:30 on that
date. Prior to that time,
candidates should pickup a
physical form from Coach Pat
Morgan, and have it signed by
their parent or guardian.
and 3:00 p.m.). Try to choose an
area that keeps you out of direct
sunlight and be sure to find a cool
place for rest periods.
6.Drink plenty of fluids within
15-20 minutes before you exercise
in the heat. The liquid that is
chosen to drink should be cold
(provides the quickest
replacement of the water lost in
sweat) and low in sugar (too
much sugar slows down the
emptying of water from your
stomach to the circulatory
system). In addition, you should
try to drink 9-10 ounces of liquid
at 10-15 minute intervals
throughout the activity.
7.Cool down throughout after
you exercise (10-15 minutes of
stretching to allow your heat rate
to return to resting levels) before
going into an airconditiond
setting.
8. After you finish exercising in
heat, be sure to drink plenty of
fluids to replace the water lost as
sweat.
By following these simple
exercise tips, you can have a
summer filled with many
enjoyable exercise activities.
(Persons over 40 years old or
those who have reason to suspect
illness should consult a physician
before beginning an exercise
program. At any time severe
symptons arise during
exercising a physician should be
contacted.)

r mistakes theres no use
makinf them.

Swimming - An exercise to beat the heat
Are the summer beat and
humidity getting to you, making
your jogging, tennis and
bicycling less enjoyable? Try
swimming. It is not only cooler
and more refreshing, but you will
reap many benefits, too.
Consider these for example:
Swimming is an excellent
means for strengthening your
heart and lungs.
The water increases your
flexibility because it lessens the
pull of gravity on your body.
The buoying effect of the water
in a non-weight bearing position
spares your joings and muscels
from wear and\ar. You actually
experience a loss of about 90
percent of your body weight.
Thus, individuals and especially
older people with painful joints
or weak leg muscels will find it
possible and comfortable to
move in the water.
Just as in other aerobic
activities, in order to obtain
maximum conditioning benefits
from swimming, you must
develop a swimming pace
(intensity) that works your
heart, lungs and muscels for a
period of 20-30 minutes. A
sufficient intensity if 65-85
percent of your heart rate
maximum (maximum heart rate
equals 220 minius your age).
Depending on your swimming
skills, age, and current fitness
status, it may take you several
weeks before you will be able to
swim for 20-30 minutes, without
stopping, 3-5 days per week.
Begin by swimming laps using
the crawl strokes until you feel
winded. Ease off by slowing
down with a lazy breast or side
stroke until you feel recovered.
Then continue with your laps at a
faster pace. Start with 10-15
minute swimming sessions and
-hey try to build up to 20-30
minutes of continuous swimming
at 65-86 percent of your I
maximum heart rate.
Another way to begin an j
exercise program in the .
swimming pool is t swim one }j
length of the pool, get out. and
walk back to your starting point.
Repeat this process a number of
times. If you are not conditioned,
an exercise session of 5-10
lengths and walking back after t
each length may be necessary ?
for several weeks or months. As
your fitness level improves,
gradually increase the number of
laps.
The key, as with any other type
of regular exercise program, it is ?
to work gradually up to your !
desired fitness level. Now go take
the plunge-you will find :
swimming stimulating,
enjoyable, and most of all
refreshing.
Note: (Persons over 40 years
old or those who have reason to
suspect underlying illness should
consult a physician before
beginning an exercise program.
At any time symptons arise
during or after an exercise a
physician should be contacted. )
Sports medicine seminar held
recently at Albemarle Hospital
Playing is one of the things that
Americans like to do best.
Playing is fun for both the
participants and the spectators
in sports. Safety in play is a
concern for Albemarle area
athletic directors and health
providers.
To help further the goal of
athletic safety, Albemarle
Hospital held a day long Sports
Medicine Seminar on Saturday,
June 23, 1984. Targeted for the
seminar were coaches, team
physicians, physical education
teachers, and others interested
in improving their awareness
and knowledge about sport
injuries and treatment.
Albemarle Hospital Chief of
Physical Therapy, Bernie
Blystone, coordinated the event.
With slides and discussion,
Blystone covered use of physical
theropy equipment and
exercises. Frank Harper, also a
physical therapist, discussed
exercise and the environment.
Mike Gentry, head of East
Carolina University's Strength
and Flexibility Program, was on
hand to discuss the merits of his
program.
Elizabeth City Orthopedic
Surgeons, James Watson, M. D.
and John Dewey, M. D. ,
discussed injuries such as
ligament and cartilage injuries
to vulnerable joints such as the
knee and ankle. Surgical
procedures, including
arthroscopy in which the inside
of the joint is viewed with a
sophisticated light instrument,
were discussed.
In lab sessions, participants of
the seminar got "hands on"
experience in taping and bracing
techniques. Blystone
demonstrated Albemarle
Hospital's Cybex machine, a
modern piece of physical therapy
equipment.
Participants of the seminar
learned and exchanged
knowledge about sports related
injuries and their prevention. In
so doing, the cause of safety in
play was furthered.
