How important are fluids?
Fluid replacement is probably the most important nutritional
concern for athletes. Approximately 60% of your body weight is
water. As you exercise, fluid is lost through your skin as sweat and
through your lungs when you breathe. If this fluid is not replaced
at regular intervals during exercise, you can become dehydrated.
When you are dehydrated, you have a smaller volume of blood
circulating through your body. Consequently, the amount of blood
your heart pumps with each beat decreases and your exercising
muscles do not receive enough oxygen from your blood. Soon
exhaustion sets in and your athletic performance suffers.
If you have lost as little as 2% of your body weight due to
dehydration, it can adversely affect your athletic performance. For
example, if you are a 150-pound athlete and you lose 3 pounds
during a workout, your performance will start to suffer unless you
replace the fluid you have lost. Proper fluid replacement is the key
to preventing dehydration and reducing the risk of heat injury
during training and competition.
How can I prevent dehydration?
The best way to prevent dehydration is to maintain body fluid
levels by drinking plenty of fluids before, during, and after a
workout or race. Often athletes are not aware that they are losing
body fluid or that their performance is being impacted by
dehydration.
If you are not sure how much fluid to drink, you can monitor your
hydration using one of these methods.
1.Weight: Weigh yourself before practice and again after practice.
For every pound you lose during the workout you will need to
drink 2 cups of fluid to rehydrate your body.
2.Urine color: Check the color of your urine. If it is a dark gold color
like apple juice, you are dehydrated. If you are well hydrated, the
color of your urine will look like pale lemonade.
Thirst is not an accurate indicator of how much fluid you have lost.
If you wait until you are thirsty to replenish body fluids, then you
are already dehydrated. Most people do not become thirsty until
they have lost more than 2% of their body weight. And if you only
drink enough to quench your thirst, you may still be dehydrated.
Keep a water bottle available when working out and drink as often
as you want, ideally every 15 to 30 minutes. High school and junior
high school athletes can bring a water bottle to school and drink
between classes and during breaks so they show up at workouts
hydrated.
What about sport drinks?
Researchers have found that sports drinks containing between 6%
Those spiritual powers were generally known as “magic”. Magic was often times used by the African communities to access their ancestors. Belief in God and the belief fact that there is being a higher realm than that which lies in a living human being, was a big deal in the African community. When individuals needed blessings or curses, they called on the power of their ancestors and they requested intervention with God. In Sundiata, one example of this magic at work in “Sundiata” is how Sundiata, a crippled man, defeated Soumaoro in the Battle of Kirina by roaring like a lion and scaring Soumaoro’s troops. He then shot a specially prepared arrow hitting Soumaoro causing him to flee. Not only did Sundiata’s upper hand get Soumaoro to leave the battlegrounds, but later on he burned the town in which Soumaoro was located. Sundiata was self-aware and he realized that he possessed great strength, he called on a higher being because he wanted to play fair and he had planned not to harm Soumaoro with his bare hands. However, Soumaro looked down on Sundiata regardless. Readers can infer that the benefits of syncretism are very much prevalent. To explain, Sundiata employed these super powers, or magic to overthrow a bad situation. However, on a day to day basis he also uses Islam to his benefit by building great relationships with people as moved from city to
Three years later, enter Banksy, a world famous street artist from England. Banksy has become famous ironically through his use of anonymity as an artist. Banksy will choose a city somewhere in the world and embark usually on a month long anonymous crusade where he “tags” different buildings with culturally and politically motivated works of “street art”. When Banksy descended on New Orleans, he painted 14 works of street art in total, but the painting that stood out as the most glaringly political was the painting called “Looters”. (Banksy story)
Her slow yet concise way of speaking, coupled with easy to follow transitions allowed for a speech that was enjoyable to listen to. Her use of examples from her personal life allowed her audience to get a picture of who she was if they did not know, and allowed her to better relate to them by provided examples of how she is related to the college they are graduating from. Her reference to many modern political problems allowed her to bring up her important role as an activist and facilitated further understanding from the audience. While some areas of her speech were weak, such as the longer than needed pauses and her lack of consistent eye contact, to a few points where she didn’t speak clearly enough, the overall picture that was her speech was fairly strong. Looking at this speech, I hope to incorporate some aspects that I failed to include in my previous speeches. Some of these include her use of hand gestures to emphasize and exaggerate certain phrases and topics, and her combined use of appeals. While my initial thoughts going in were “This is boring” and “This is too slow”, it evolved into me wanting to hear more, and overall my defeat in the beginning turned into a victory at the
Within the impoverished urban streets arose a youth culture captivated by infamy and self-pride. A youth culture virtually undistinguishable from members of modern society with a passion, setting them apart from the community. The members of this underground subculture could be your next-door neighbor, your son or daughter, or the contractor repairing your roof, yet you would have no idea that they strive to “bomb” objects and surfaces found in everyday life. It is the subtle differences that distinguish a graffiti artist from the average member of society, such as their, mindset, desires, speech and active lifestyle.
Since a long time ago immigrant families have been coming to the U.S. to seek a better life. The idea of the American Dream becomes shattered once they start dealing with all the obstacles to get to the United States from South or Central America. People start facing discrimination and are taken advantage of. Since their journey starts, immigrants face discrimination from everywhere they go; the people who help them cross over to the U.S. charge high amounts of money to help them come over. Once they get to the United States immigrants continue in the same pattern of being abused, and taken advantage of. It is important to mention that if people are moving from their own country of origin it must be because the conditions they are living in are worse than the ones they are willing to live in, by moving. People that decide to make the move and explore new ways of living are often faced with discrimination, wage-theft and poor health conditions. “Wage theft is particularly prevalent among immigrant workers, and ―work-related exploitation appears to be growing along with the country’s immigrant population.” (James Pinkerton,
Most immigrants usually fill essential service jobs in the economy, which are vacant. Unfortunately, like new immigrants throughout U.S. history, “they experience conditions that are commonly deprived, oppressive, and exploitive” (Conover, 2000). They are paid low wages with little potential for advancement, are subjected to hazardous working conditions, and are threatened with losing their jobs and even deportation if they voice dissatisfaction with the way they are treated. Many work several jobs to make ends meet. Many also live in substandard housing with abusive landlords, have few health cares options, and are victims of fraud and other crimes.
Osmosis Introduction Osmosis is the passage of water from a region of high water concentration through a semi-permeable membrane to a region of low water concentration. The aim of the investigation is to find the variables that affect the rate of osmosis and how they affect the rate of reaction. The variables that affect the rate of reaction of osmosis are, · The surface area of the object, · The concentration of the solution, · Temperature of the experiment Surface area If the surface area of the object is larger then more molecules can pass through the semi-permeable membrane. This will ultimately increase the rate of reaction. [IMAGE] [IMAGE] [IMAGE][IMAGE] Small surface area Large surface area Concentration
Sweat excessively while exercising and you 'll lose water and electrolyte but if you drink energy drink after that just to have more energy you 'll only dehydrate yourself more.
Even though graffiti, in general, has had a rough past, it has started a movement where it's a form of expression through the artist. Graffiti can be a wonderful work of art when it has a space where it doesn't disturb public or private property. The artist creating graffiti often wants to send a message. In many cases, the street art made on public property is to invoke a reaction or conversation to intrigue the viewer. A key element in graffiti and street art is to create a space where the artist can do his/her work and even receive compensation from art
The explicit presentation of the mathematics involved in the Arrhenius equation (Michels, Tsong, and Smith 1983) rendered the parameters involved in glass hydration understandable. However, the actual implementation of the physical processes described in the mathematical equations into a model replicating the natural environment is a complicated problem hard to solve (Stevenson 1998).
This can be harmful especially when considering the legality of graffiti and if it should be legalized. People in the graffiti community would benefit from lower incarceration rates and less fines. However people see Banksy committing vandalism and getting away with it, and think the illegality is a minor roadblock in the road to success. One thing that is left out of this consideration is race. By simply being White and having white privilege, Banksy is less likely to be arrested or fined than a minority teen who is caught spray painting. With Banksy’s new found success, fines or bail wouldn’t be a burden on him like they would an inner city teen (presumably of
Banksy’s artwork was effective in achieving it’s purpose because of it’s appeal to the heart, and in what is perceived as a dismal area where there is little hope, it most likely affected the view some may have on life, if not for just a moment.
Conservative people would call Banksy’s graffiti as being vandalism instead of recognizing the fact he brings social issues to the eyes of the people through artwork. “Son of a Syrian Migrant Worker” and “Migrant Birds” both display how ridiculous we, humans, truly appear when trying to argue over immigration worldwide. Graffiti benefits urban societies of the 2010 era because, the art form is not only used to express ones’ emotions but, express their political objectification, in this case, Banksy addressed the issue of immigration. Banksy’s graffiti functions as a social critique because he uses humor to explain the societal issue of immigration; “Migrant Birds” is more persuasive than “Son of Syrians Migrant worker” because Banksy shows
The body looses water all day long. Water is lost through evaporation of sweat which keeps the body cool. Body also looses water in the form of sweat during exercise and vigorous physical activity. It is also lost as urine which accounts for three quarters of the body water loss. Infrequent urination or dark yellow urine indicates dehydration and means that we should consume more water.
