September 19 Running For the health of it By Renea Jahnke Dr Kenneth Cooper, the man who popularized the term “aerobic.'' spoke before an enthusiastic audience of almost 2.000 Sept 19. in the first of the Forum Series. Cooper, a former Lt. Colonel in the Medical Corps of the USAF. is famous for the physical fitness concept he began in 1960 The term aerobic is an individual's ability to do prolonged exercise without fatigue, thus earning points for a certain amount of exercise each week. A person can earn 30 points a week. Cooper said, by running three miles, five times a week. This is normal for the average person, he said, compared to a marathon runner who may earn up to 700 points in one week. Curious as to the number of joggers in the audience. Cooper asked for a show of hands and was pleased by the response Other aerobic exercises that are good for the body. Cooper said, are cross-country skiing, swimming, cycling and walking. Cooper's aerobics program is the official fitness program for both the U.S. Air Force and the U.S. Navy, and is the basis for the conditioning programs of many professional football teams. To be physically fit. Cooper told his audience, you must have a good heart, good lungs, and a good cardiovascular system. Good physical fitness also requires what Cooper calls “preventive medicine. By this he meant maintaining a proper weight along with a good diet, plenty of exercise and no tobacco. It's not so much we die. but that we kill ourselves. he said, listing the five leading causes of death in the United States and how they can be prevented. Heart attack is the number one killer. Cooper said, which can be prevented by exercise which in turn prevents heart disease Lung cancer, the number two killer, is associated with cigarette smoking. The third cause is automobile accidents, with 50 percent of all highway deaths due to alcohol. Sclerosis of the liver is also associated with the consumption of alcohol. The last cause of death is stroke, which is related to high blood pressure and often related to obesity. Cooper said. Cooper, a trim, energetic man. practices what he preaches, managing to find time In his busy schedule to jog three miles five times a week. I want to enjoy life right up to the last moment and you can't do that unless you're physically fit.” he said. If you keep physically tit. you live a longer, more productive life. It's not that you add years to your life, but life to your years. ■ KtnCoopw 23
