Fitness factors for women
By Julie Mitchell
W om en h av e p h y sical
characteristics that must be
considered when planning a
fitness program . Females
cannot follow similar male
fitness programs and expect to
achieve identical gains.
Girls and women are less
responsiye than men in their
ability to improve strength
through a training program.
Females start at a lower level
and attain a lower maximum.
Over a six month period, most
female athletes will register
strength increases of from 50%
to 100% in most recommended
exercises.
Women's workout vary from
the men’s training program in
that the emphasis on arm and
shoulder strength in the men’s
program is shifted to the thigh
and hip area. Women have
a great capacity for work and
particularly when results can be
seen. However, there is no
short cut to fitness.
The average female has
approximately seven pounds
more skin surface fat than
males. Presence of fat' tissue
provides women with greater
buoyancy, lower loss of body
heat in cold water, and
increased heat tolerance.
Greater buoyancy tends to be a
contributing factor to the fact
th a t w o m en ’s sw im m ing
records are closer to men’s in
comparison to other sports.
In relation to injury, there is
a higher degree and greater
severity in women than in men.
Ankle and knee joint injuries
are most prevalent. This is
caused by lateral sway at the
patella (knee cap), when the leg
is bent, combined with weak
quadriceps and poor condi
tioning, putting added stress on
the knee. There is also lack of,
or disproportionate strength in
the large muscles that surround
the knee joint.
In order to set up a fitness
program one must determine
and state specific objectives.
Women working on fitness
must set up a program to meet
any of the following:
1. Firm up flaccid body areas.
2. Increase muscular tonus and
strength.
3. Increase flexibility
4. Improve overall muscle
endurance
5. In ju ry p re v e n tio n or
rehabilitation.
It is helpful to maintain a
personal weekly record of work
out time and activity and a
monthly record of gains or
losses. Community resources
are available to plan individual
fitness programs and to offer
n u tritio n a l advice. Visible
r e s u lts d o n o t a p p e a r
overnight, but steady devotion
to fitness objectives and
carefully planned programs
will be re w a rd e d w ith
aermanent results.

Children benefit in gymnastics
By Marsha Shewczyk
Cartwheels, balance beams
and somersaults describe much
of what gymnastics is about. At
the root of these athletic feats,
though, is the develppemerit of
basic coordination.
Gymnastics is a program of
physical exercises designed to
d e v e lo p s t r e n g t h a n d
coordination. That’s just what
Julie Mitchell has in mind as
she instructs children from 6-12
years of age twice a week at the
Warm Springs Community
Center.
H a v in g y o u n g p e o p le
involved in the gymnastsics
program “ helps them to
develop their body awareness
for sports,” according to
Mitchell. She says her interest
in gymnastics for children is
“totally selfish.” She “wants to
have kids that are coordin
ated.” She pointed out that
there are not too many
coordinated people.
Since she began the eight
week sessions, assisted by
Susan Guerin, Mitchell has
n o tic e d c h a n g e s in the
movements of the children in
the program. “They have more
confidence in m anipulating
their movements.” She goes on
to say they are not afraid of
¡being upside down or up high
after some practice.
The children are able to learn
better in a group by being able
to observe other children. Their
motor skills develop quickly in
this situation.
This \ is the second year
gymnastics has been offered to
the children of the community.
Mitchell feels it is working so
well this year because of work
done previously by assistant
