BEUTEL HEALTH CENTER The fall semester begins again, and along with it comes manyAggie traditions. Yell practice, football games, bon fire, and the t.u. game are just a few of the activities that Texas A&M students will participate in this fall. Another Aggie tradition that begins in the fall is intramural sports. These programs are of fered to give many outstanding Aggie athletes a chance to par ticipate in competition beyond the high school level and also allow students a chance to stay in adequate physical condition. These sports include a vast array of activities, and need to be entered into with caution. These are a few things you can do to help your intramural ex perience remain a positive one. You should stretch for at least 10 to 15 minutes before participating in any activity in order to allow your body to "warm up," plus you shouldal- so stretch after competing in or der to allow your body to "cool down." Stretching will help you prevent from being quite so sore after competition. Don't let intramural athletics he the only activity you do all week. For instance, if you are on a flag football team, don't go out on a Sunday evening and play a hard hour of football and then sit around for the rest of the week until your game the next Sunday. At the very least, stretch your jnuscles at least three to four times during the week be tween games. Walking or other physical activity will keep your muscles in better condition and help ease muscle soreness. Ad ditional conditioning can also help you perform better in your intramural competition. Proper footwear for your particular sport is a must, and can help prevent many of the injuries as well as some of the aches and pains associated with physical activity. One of the major problems associated with physical activity that we see in the A.P. Beutel Health Center is blisters. If blisters are not cared for properly, they can become serious problems. Footwear that is designed for the sport you are participating in, as well as shoes that fit, are essential in preventing injuries which may occur. Eating a proper diet and get ting plenty of fluids are essen tial parts of any exercise pro gram. The extreme heat of the fall semester makes fluids an even more important part of an exercise program. Be sure to drink plenty of water before you compete and also during the "breaks in the action" of the competition. Water fountains or other sources of water are usually available at the intramural com petition sites. A good guide for drinking water is about one glass every 15 minutes of exer cise. Food is also an important part of physical activity. Eating a proper diet that is low in fat and high in carbohydrates is es sential in order to supply the body with sufficient energy for competition. Eating a high fat meal before competition, it can make you feel sluggish and See Intramurals/ Page 3 It's not too late to join the Corps of Cadets and experience 116 years of Aggie Tradition Meeting: Thursday, Sept. 9th 302 Rudder 5-6 p.m. For more information contact: LTC Mark Satterwhite at 845-9232 or Wade Johns 847-1152.
