DISABLED ATHLETES AND PERFORMANCE
The technological advances in carbon fiber prosthetics, allows
individuals with lower extremity amputation to once again practice sports for
their personal fitness or as a professional athlete. With the use of flex-foot,
amputee athletes can now compete at almost at the same level as able-bodied
ones, and can even challenge them for titles. An increased understanding of
the spring-like leg function and stiffness is expected to aid in prosthetic design,
and whit the use of composite materials like carbon fiber the assumption of
functional inferiority may no longer be valid.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PHYSICAL EDUCATION
IN THE SCHOOL CURRICULUM
Physical education is getting ignored in the school curriculum despite
the fact that our children are having health and psychical problems because
they are getting fat and they lose the love for sports. Mobile phones, computers
and fast-food can now be considered the enemies of health, because the keep
children from having a healthy active life. Teaching young students to love
doing physical exercises and making them understand that being healthy is the
most important thing in life is the first step in defeating child obesity, diabetes
and other problems that appear in the absence of sports. The easiest way to
help our future generations is teaching them when they are young.
