To establish the net energy cost of dribbling a soccer ball, eight males ran on a treadmill while dribbling a ball against a rebound box. Oxygen uptake, perceived exertion, and blood lactate levels were measured and compared with results from subjects running without dribbling. Results are discussed. (Author/DF)

This investigation examined day-to-day variations in metabolic measurements during submaximal running and cycling. Significant differences were found in the oxygen uptake (VO2) of runners and cyclists and the minute ventilation (VE) of cyclists while running, but blood lactic acid (HLA) did not differ day to day.

A series of studies involving five hearing impaired adults revealed that substantial increases in intelligibility can occur when an individual attempts to speak clearly to an impaired listener. (CL)

Electrodermal activity to auditory stimuli was compared in 20 autistic children and their matched retarded and normal controls (N=80). The autistic children were virtually indistinguishable in individual features of electrodermal activity from controls when both chronological and mental age comparisons were accounted for.

Presents a hypothesis about the biochemical processes involved in memory storage. The postulated mechanism is initiated by a signal that is unusual but not unlikely to occur and produces an irreversible change in a key component of synaptic chemistry. Other features of the mechanism and experiments supporting the hypothesis are considered. (JN)

To study ear asymmetry during monaural stimulation, 80 listeners were asked to recall the word which followed a probe word in 40 10-word lists. Ear asymmetry during monaural stimulation appeared to be related to competition between incoming and rehearsed stimuli during central memory processing. (Author/CL)

This paper explores the minimum competency testing clarification hearing in order to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of adversary evaluation as a vehicle for clarifying matters of public policy interest. Problems with the hearing format and suggestions for improvement are discussed. (BW)

The roles of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, and fiber in producing energy for health and exercise are discussed. Long-distance runners should have a high intake of complex carbohydrates and fiber. (PP)

Almost any physical educator could teach basic gymnastics effectively and derive a tremendous amount of satisfaction while doing so. (RC)

Is artificial satisfaction of our need for pleasure something we should develop? Article considered some of the possibilities. (RK)

Evaluates the effect of E's sex on the word association and concomitant state of physiological arousal of hospitalized schizophrenic Ss. (Author/RK)

Presented are eight abstracts of a symposium held in conjunction with the American Physiological Society (APS) and the American Society of Zoologists (ASZ). Fish gill structure and function, renal function, acid-base balance and ionic sensitivity are topics discussed. (EB)

This textbook issue has been prepared to accompany later editions, and includes complete reference to all the problems and practical questions contained in Steele's "Popular Physics," "Popular Chemistry," "Hygienic Physiology," and "New Descriptive Astronomy."

The focus of this textbook is anatomy, physiology, and hygiene for schools, colleges, and general readers. It is believed to be a fair exponent of physiological and hygienic knowledge at the time of publication. Throughout its pages the lessons of moderation are taught in connection with the use of each part of the body. The subjects of food, and…
