Weightlifting Research Paper
Daring is determined from someone's perspective. My definition of daring is different from everyone else's definition. My daring adventure was the time that I learned how to ride a motorcycle.
When I first started learning how to ride a motorcycle I was very scared. After a while, I started to get the hang of it, but before I could become good, I crashed it into a barbed wire fence. I can still remember that day perfectly. It was a sunny summer weekend right before school started. My brother and I were taking turns riding it. My dad was mowing the lawn and my mom was at work. When it was my turn to ride it, I was doing okay until the second lap. The end of the second lap is where everything went bad. I was in the grass on the side of a hill. I remember getting closer and closer to the fence. I slowed the motorcycle down and put it in neutral, but I was still getting closer to the fence. I should have used the brakes, but at that

After that, they stitched up my leg. They thought about stitching my hand, but they decided not to. While they stitched up my leg I watched and asked questions. At first, the doctor did not want to tell me anything because he did not want to scare me, but my dad told him it was alright. Even my dad was too scared to watch what they were doing to me, but I watched the whole thing. I had a total of 11 stitches; seven stitches were internal and five were external.
The only time I ever felt pain in my leg was when I got the numbing shot. I was very scared, but by asking questions and watching what they were doing to me, I became less scared. I like to know what people are doing to me. If the doctor had not explained everything to me and let me watch him, I would have been very worried.
After the accident, I was very worried about riding the motorcycle again. It took me a long time to get over my fear of riding motorcycles and barbed wire

    The onset of muscle fatigue has hindered many athletes from achieving their maximum performance. Over the years we have been taught that it is the build-up of lactic acid that is the downfall of muscle fatigue and soreness. This is only partially true; there is a little more to it than what we have been told. I hope that this article provides you with a possible short-term remedy and does not confuse you more but rather makes you more aware of what is going on when your muscles become fatigued.

During short term (anaerobic) exercise, ATP and creatine phosphate (CP) are used up within the first 7 seconds of training. This signals the metabolism of glycogen to produce energy for your body.…

    I tested the waters of bicycle riding by dragging my feet along the bumpy asphalt, but gravity was working against me. The incline was not allowing me stop, so jumped off. I walked away with only some bumps and bruises. The riding of my bike was put on hold for some time. My fear had gotten the best of me. It was not until the next summer that I would venture out again on my bike.…

    2. My knees felt stiff, it was hard to bend them. The ace bandage started pinching when I bent my leg too much. This made it much harder to get up the stairs. I cringed when I heard someone come behind me. I was holding the rail with one hand and the bag was in the way on the other side. I could tell they wanted by. I moved over to the side to let them pass. They asked me what was wrong and I explained.…

    When I woke up I didn't know what happened or where I was at the moment until the nurse told me when she woke me up and telling me that my surgery is all done and it went really well! I really don't remember much but I know I started to laugh when I saw a really big brace that started from my upper thigh all the way down to my ankle. It was really big and really heavy! I was out of the hospital a few minutes later after they took my vitals to make sure I was okay and all set to go home. Getting out of the bed was the worst part, imagine being really tired and loopy from the anesthesia and trying to lift your leg with a really big, heavy brace on your leg. On the way home I slept for the most part until I woke up and told my mom I wanted some chicken nuggets because I was starving from not eating all night and day. I got my chicken nuggets and went back to sleep.…

    It was the happiest and at the same time it was one of the scariest moments of my life. When I was up on the gate for my first gate drop ever I was absolutely terrified, because when that gate dropped we would all be taking off to one small turn and the fear of crashing was racing through my mind. Racing motocross is definitely one of the most dangerous thrill seeking sports out there and I’m madly in love it. I raced at local tracks for about a year and a half and I actually did really well. I won quite a few races and was loving every second of it then the day came and I turned sixteen and I was finally old enough to race on the national level all over the east…

    I was being rolled down to the x-ray room after my 13 hour long hip surgery. Every bounce and movement of the cart sent searing pain through my body. It was all i could do to not cry and yell but as we rolled and stopped the pain stopped. We were in a room filled with equipment and two people deep in conversation. Janet ,the first nurse, was talking. “Last saturday i got my nails done and they're super cute. And then today i broke my nail helping a patient. Ugh this job sucks”. “I know right” replied the second nurse “ I literally hate it here”. At this point I was being rolled onto my side so that the nurse could put an x-ray plate down under me and the conversation wasn’t filling me with confidence. I wanted to yell at them to stop talking.…

    It was a roller coaster of emotion being that messed up. I finally got my cast off and went on a hike in Big Bear with my family. I started feeling some sharp pain right above my knee on the way down from the mountain. My parents decided we should have it checked out and the X-ray revealed I had a fractured non-ossifying fibroma, or a non- cancerous bone tumor. Then the doctor gave me the horrifying news. He said “You’re going to need to have surgery on your femur.” And then he explained the process and some other boring hospital stuff. Truth is I was kind of scared. I did not like the idea of someone slicing my leg apart, scraping off the tumor, inserting silicon bone, stitching me up, and casting me all while I was…

    But before I could eat anything, I had to take my pain medicine. They put my medicine in chocolate pudding, and it tasted horrible. They said chocolate pudding will taste like the medicated pudding for the rest of my life, so I was ecstatic to hear that. That night I had to wake up every three hours to get an I.V. and every time it took about 15 different tries to finally get it in. I had bandages all over. After about three weeks they give me a wheelchair and a walker to take home. Finally, I was cleared to go home! I had a cast that spread my legs out at a 90 degree angle. It was awful. My leg surgery changed my life. I am glad I had the surgery. Everyday, I’m thankful for the ability to…

    I was born with Osteogenesis Imperfecta, a disease that makes my bones very brittle. When I was in kindergarten, I had broken my Femur. I was running across the playground playing with my friends. All I hear next is SNAP! and I was on the ground, leg throbbing in pain. I immediately knew my leg was broken. Once they got me to Children’s Medical Center in Dallas, I was being brought in for x-rays. My surgeon, Dr. Rathjen had…

    I knew that if i could stay awake it would be a lot easier on me but it wasn’t an easy thing to do. Around 3 hours of running, playing and the excessive blood loss i was taking a turn for the worse but we had soon reached the ER and she rushed me and my brother in and had us sit down. While she filled out a sheet and gave it back to the nice lady. In that time i was just sitting down finally stopped crying but my eyes were still watery and red. I looked around and saw some people who looked sick and people who looked worried and the others were patiently waiting for something while looking at magazines or on their phones. I remember staring...a lot, and i felt some stares back at me. Some guy had came into the room like 10 minutes later calling out my name so mom grabbed her things and followed the man along with my brother and myself. This team of doctors had me strapped down to a table and mentioned stitches and i started crying like a baby because my dad had told jokes about getting stitches before and made it sound really painful. They decided it wasn’t the best thought because the wound was too big for stitches. I felt more relieved than i did pain. They tightened the straps and began the procedure. Mom stayed by my whole side during the operation and held my hand they took 3 extremely large staples and drove one by one into my head and 4 or the rest had to hold me down from moving too much. They got a good grip on me and started pushing the first staple into my head and it hurt a lot because the pain pills wore off and it felt so painful. Try taking a nail to your head and push. When the operation ended i got a cars note book along with some crayons for…
