       Journal Question:  How can maintaining flexibility improve your quality of life as you get older?
                                    Answer:   Allows better range of motion, thus able to participate in more activities.
                                                 There is a decreased risk of injury.  Potentially less chance of falling,
                                                 thus decreased chance of hip or other injury.

              Other problems Associated with Alcohol use/Abuse:
                                                 -drunk driving
                                                 -fetal alcohol syndrome
                                                 -addiction
                                                 -liver damage (cirrhosis & hepatitis)
                                                 -alcoholism

    Psychoactive Drugs--alter perception, thought, and mood; quite possibly creates illusions in the mind of the user.
                                    -side effects
                                    -synergism
                                    -overdose
                                    -overdose
                                    -aids and hepatitis
                                    -stillborn children

    Depressants--slow down the heart and breathing rates, lowers blood pressure, relaxes muscles, and relieves tension.
                                    -barbiturates
                                    -tranquilizers
                                    -narcotics--opium, codeine, morphine
    Stimulants--increases heart rate, blood pressure and breathing rate. Makes user feel excited and alert.
                                    -amphetamines
                                    -cocaine--highly addictive
                                    -crack (effects in 8 seconds)

    Hallucinogens--alters perception, thought and mood. No medical uses!!

                                                                          THINGS TO THINK ABOUT

           1.   Stimulant use during exercise--Lynn Bias
           2.  Depressant during exercise--race car driving
           3.  Psychoactive drug use during exercise--hockey

    A.  Heart rate gets too high and defibrillates.  Cannot sustain activity as long because HR is too high.
    B.  Fall asleep at the wheel.  Unable to react to crash ahead, unable to maintain speed on curves.
    C.  "Freak" out and use stick to attack other players.   Use skates as weapons.  Just standing in the way--"zoned out."

             Reaction time is altered
             Speed is impaired, thereby affecting power output
             Hand-eye coordination is altered
