I»AGE 4 - PLA1NDEALER - jW$P Scientific approach to marathons Clearly, the fastest runner wins the race. But, when many dedicated athletes compete, those who planned ahead have the advantage. Running a long distance, such as the New York City Marathon's 26-mile course, is a challenge that must be plotted. The informed runner studies the terrain and his own athletic ability carefully, thoroughly and in advance. Judging the lay of the land is an easy task. Even an un­ trained eye can tell an incline from a downgrade. No scien­ tific degree is required to rec­ ognize city pavement as a hard surface for a runner. It's the other analysis that poacsadifficukprobtan. Form­ ing an objective opinion about one's own physical capabilities can be a rather irppossibk task for seasoned and novice run­ ners alike.

While everyone is normally born with the tyune anatomy, there are individual variations in structure. Therefore, no two runners are identical. With regard to foot func­ tion, no blanket judgment can be accurately made about those 16,082 pain of feet that participated in last year's Mar­ athon. Each had a gait and foot motion uniquely its own. Podiatric sports medicine is the science which most effec­ tively recognizes these differ­ ences. Practitioners of this rel­ atively new approach treat athletes just as athletes treat their sport--seriously. Podiatrists are the experts to whom athletes have turned during the last decade. They provide runners with the nec­ essary objective assessment of their physical capabilities. Many offer important sug­ gestions for the health of, the athlete and solutions which encourage maximum perform­ ance and reduce chances of injury. Allison Roe, the first woman to finish last year's New York City Marathon, attributed her accomplishment to podiatric medicine. • Roe had been plagued by a pulled hamstring and tendi­ nitis. Ultrasonic treatments by her podiatrist helped her to set a new world record for women. She finished the gruel­ ing course in 2:2S:42. In addition to aiding run­ ners with problems similar to Roe's, podiatrists lead the field in biomechanics, the science =. WANT .

Along with studying the terrain of the course, each runner must assess his or her own athletic ability. Because forming an objective opinion about one's own physical capabilities can be very difficult, it is best to seek the professional advice of a podiatrist to determine the unique structural variations in one's own foot. By planning in advance and understanding their own individual structure, well •pre­ pared runners will increase their chances of finishing ahead. which relates human motion to body structure. Many athletes exhibit sig­ nificant biomechanical difficul­ ties which impede their ability to run without pain, danger of injury, or long distances with­ out fatigue.' Podiatrists have discovered that the use of prescription orthotics can correct these bio­ mechanical problems experi­ enced by runners. In particular, Sporthotics, biomechanical sport orthotic dcvices which weigh 2% ounces each and are custom made from impressions of the feet, eliminate much of the wear and tear that runners place on their extremities. The Langer Group, the world's foremost laboratory engaged in the manufacture of custom podiatric devices, publishes a free brochure, "Facts for Runners and Other Athletes About Biomechanics and Orthotics," which describes the importance of proper foot care, treatment and the me­ chanics of orthotics. This brochure and a listing of qualified podiatrists can be obtained by writing to: The Langer Group, Dept. M, 21 East Industry Court, Deer Park, NY 11729. By planning in advance and understanding his own bio­ mechanical function, a run­ ner provides himself with the best possible chance of com­ pleting the 1982 New York City Marathon. And, who Kpiows? The well - prepared runner could finish ahead of the crowd. CARS AND TELEPHONES Television is so much a part of daily life in America it's hard to imagine how we ever lived without it. Yet, back in 1946, when the TV age began, there were only 6,000 sets in the en­ tire U.S.A. In those early days,, people mobbed appliance store win­ dows and neighborhood bars to watch the intuit medium. De­ spite tiny screens and erratic programming, TV was an in­ stant hit. Dramatic increases By 1950s more than 7,000,000 sets a year were be­ ing sold. Along came color in 1954 and TVs popularity has grown and grown ever since. Today, according to a spokes­ man for RCA, there are more than 150 million color and black-and-white sets in Ameri­ can homes--more TV sets than telephones, automobiles, re­ frigerators or bathtubs. Consider these other surpris­ ing statistics: More than 98 per­ cent of all homes in Die U.S. have at least one TV set; 83 per­ cent have color; and nearly SI percent have two sets or more. Last year alone, RCA and other U.S. manufacturers produced 17.508,000 TV receivers. More statistics And, people watch those TV sets. Daily television viewing in American homes averages about 6Vi hours--that's a 45- . hour week. Nowadays, more and more families are broadening their use of the TV set--with cable, pay TV, video cassette re­ corders, video disc players, video games, and so on. So, it looks as if television, at age 35, is getting more popular than' ever. •• 1 .Stratford Queen Modern, Drn. Stripe lit" 2 .Flexsteel Colonial Queen.
