Fads come and go. Most seem to
disappear overnight, but one is run
ning away with the American pub
lic: jogging.
In the past two years, the number
of participants in this sport has in
creased dramatically and will prob
ably increase even more in the fu
ture.
George Jessup, associate profes
sor of health and physical education
at Texas A&M University, said
Monday that although it is easy to
become involved with jogging, the
novice should understand how to
begin a running program.
Jessup, an authority on exercising
to improve the cardiovascular sys
tem, said the beginning jogger
should start by running for short
periods of time, about five minutes,
and gradually increase the running
time.
“The jogger should increase run
ning time at his own pace,” Jessup
said, “Some peoples bodies take
longer to adjust to the extra exer
cise.”
Jessup said the runner should be
able to carry on a conversation while
jogging. “If you can’t talk while
you’re running,” he said, “You’re
working too hard and need to slow
down.”
After running for 20 minutes, Jes
sup said, the runner should check
his heart rate for 10 seconds. “A
pulse range of 24-28 beats in 10 sec
onds is optimum,” Jessup said, “If it
is lower than 24, you should pick up
your pace and if it is higher than 28
beats, you should slow down,” he
said.

Jessup said the heart will
strengthen in time, allowing a faster
pace without overworking.
“Never overwork yourself,” said
Jessup, “There’s nothing wrong
with stopping to walk.”
Stretching prior to jogging is im
portant, Jessup said. He said passive
stretching is best. It is performed by
letting the body weight pull muscles
to their fullest extension.
Jessup said one of the best ways to
stretch is to stand with toes on the
edge of a curb and let the heels hang
off, allowing body weight to pull the
heels down. Another is to slowly
bend over to touch the toes, letting
torso weight pull the hands to the
floor, then leaning backwards as far
as possible, he said.
Jogging in heat should be avoided
if a runner is not used to it, Jessup
said. Cotton clothing should be
worn because it absorbs perspira
tion. Jessup also advised wearing a
head covering when jogging in heat.
Jessup said drinking water about
two hours before jogging should
prevent dehydration and that salt
tablets should be avoided because
too much salt in the body can cause
cramps.
“A lot of people think by taking
salt tablets that they are replacing
salt lost by perspiration, when what
they actually lost was water,” Jessup
said.
Jessup said it is best to run on re
silient surfaces such as jogging paths
made of decomposed granite or a
rubberized track. Asphalt is the next
best surface, Jessup said. He ad
vised against running on concrete.
“Proper jogging shoes are a
must,” Jessup said, “They should
offer sufficient lateral support, have
a wide heel, and stable soles.”
Jessup said the best way to obtain
a good pair of running shoes is to
talk to a salesman in a running spe-
Sun Theatres
cialty stores and follow their advice.
Jogging injuries are caused almost
always by improper shoes/’ Jessup
said.

Four aerospace engineering stu
dents at Texas A&M University
have designed a hang glider with
go-kart engine, collapsible propeller
and a 32-foot wing span that could
be a boon to hang gliding in flat and
level terrain.
The propeller-driven wing is the
work of David Lund, David Bator,
Tim Morse and Mike Watts, who
designed the craft as a class project.
All four are hang glider pilots and
have other aviation experience.
The group hopes to polish the de
sign, build a prototype and get the
Cygnet — as they call their flying
machine — into production.
Another pilot already has asked
about acquiring the plans. The men
figure a Cygnet would sell for about
$2,500.
But progress toward production
has been delayed. All four students
graduated in the spring with Lund
now working for NASA and Bator on
active duty in the Air Force. Morse
and Watts are working on graduate
degrees at Texas A&M.
