Your Body Will Warn You When It’s Time
To Consider A New Exercise Routine
Watch for warning signs-change
or pain-when deciding if you need to
shift from a walking or running pro­
gram to another form of exercise ac­
tivity, says a Stanford orthopedic sur­
geon.
Dr. Thomas D Franklin, clinical
assistant professor in the Department
of Functional Restoration at Stanford
University Medical Center, says many
active people ignore warning signs
that can prevent them from remaim ng
vigorous in the future.
“ As much as you may w ish
to a p p e a r to u g h , d o n ’t deny
pain,” warns Franklin. If you knee
or leg, for example, is uncomfortable
for 15 m inutes after a run, that

run as weeks, months or even years
go by, th a t’s your body te llin g
you to jum p in the swimming pool,
get a bike, or shift to a walking pro-
gram-it’s important to find an alter­
native.”
Runners often can comfortably
shift from running to walking, but as
the body gets older, walking will ev en­
tually cause stresses similar to what
running caused in younger years.
“Swimming and stationary bik­
ing are good alternatives for older
persons whose legs and knees can no
longer effectively cope with running
or even walking,” Franklin says.
O f course, if simple measures
don’t help, a phy sician visit might be
appropriate, Franklin says.
Check Child’s
Breathing
First,
U nfo r t u n a t e l
c lo w n e d
» o w e r lin e s
Jon I
Pediatrician
Nobody need to be told that a
child’s breathing may be the most
important thing he or she does, but a
Stanford University pediatrician has
some advice on simple ways to check
if a child’s breathing is health threat­
ening.
“Obviously, if the child is not
breathing of very irregularly, it’s time
to take emergency action. Start resus­
citation efforts immediately and seek
medical attention at once, “ says Dr.
Larry Mathers, associate professor of
pediatrics and director of the pediatric
intensive care unit at Lucile Salter
P ack ard C h ild re n ’s H ospital at
Stanford.
But sometimes, says Mathers,
breathing difficulties may be a little
harder to evaluate. So if you think
your chid may be having trouble
breathing, take his or her shirt off and
count the number of times per minute
the child breathes in and out. For a
newborn, 30 to 45 breaths out per
minute may be normal; in a toddler,
20 to 35 times may be normal; while
in a school-age child or an adult, 12 to
20 times per minute is considered the
norm.
Ifbreathing is clearly below these
limits, thechild maybe suffering from
a drug reaction or head injury, the
pediatrician says If the child is turn­
ing a “Blue” color, that is a further
sign of lack of oxygen, and an imme­
diate trip to the physician would ap­
pear to be indicated, says Mathers.
Ifbreathing is too fast, pneumo­
nia and fever may be occurring, and
taking the child’s temperature may
show a fever, which is further evi­
dence of trouble. A prompt trip, prob­
ably within 24 hours, to see trained
health personne, is probably war
ranted.
In addition, when breathing is too
fa st Mathers says check the child’s
nose and throat to see if there is any
mucous or blockage. In these cases, a
noticeable sound is apt to occur while
the child is breathing in. If simply
clearing the airway (helping “blow
the child’s nose, for example) doesn’t
improve the situation, take the child
promptly to a physician for clinic. If a
loud wheezing sound is heard when
the child is breathing out, the trachea
(or windpipe) may be locked, and a
health professional may need to pro­
vide medication or oxygen if the con
dition persists or the child becomes
seriously uncomfortable, Mathers says
