Ask well relieving sore muscles ny-times
While exercise causes muscle damage that leads to soreness, it also stimulates muscle growth and strength. However, few methods reliably relieve exercise-related muscle soreness. Foam rolling and watermelon juice may provide some relief by reducing muscle tenderness. The soreness tends to be self-limiting and goes away within a few days whether treated or not. If soreness persists unusually after normal exercise, a doctor should be consulted to rule out other causes.

Computer games and attention
This study examined the effect of a computer game intervention on the attention capacity of 60 mentally retarded male children. The children were randomly assigned to experimental and control groups. The experimental group participated in 35 computer game sessions over time, while the control group received no intervention. Attention was measured before and after the intervention using the Toulouse-Pieron attention scale. Results showed the experimental group had significantly higher attention scores immediately after the intervention compared to the control group. However, 5 weeks later there was no significant difference between the groups, suggesting the attention improvements did not persist over time for these children.

This document presents a method for multiplying multi-digit numbers by breaking them down into place values. It demonstrates multiplying two sample numbers, 12 x 7 and 9 x 5, step-by-step. It then shows how to use the distributive property to calculate the multiplication more efficiently by distributing the multiplication across place values. For example, 12 x 7 is calculated as (10 + 2) x (5 + 2) which is equivalent to 10 x 5 + 10 x 2 + 2 x 5 + 2 x 2.

Older adults using wii
Nintendo's Wii video game console is being used in nursing homes to help residents with physical therapy and rehabilitation. The Wii Fit balance board and motion-sensitive remote allow residents to play games that improve strength, balance and range of motion. Studies have shown the Wii can help motivate elderly residents to more actively participate in their physical therapy.
Interactive games encouraging activity
The article discusses how interactive video games can be used in physical education classes to encourage physical activity and exercise among students. It notes that video games appeal to many students and that digital games exist which require full-body movement and involve sports activities. The article argues these interactive games can help engage students and get them excited about being physically active if integrated into physical education curriculums.
Guitar hero
Guitar Hero allows players to feel like skilled guitarists without years of practice by pressing buttons on a game controller timed to on-screen cues. While technically not playing real music, the game is popular with both musicians and non-musicians alike. However, some argue that Guitar Hero may discourage players from mastering the real guitar if virtual guitar skills can be acquired so easily. Developers counter that the game exposes more people to the thrill of guitar playing who would otherwise not have access or patience to learn a real instrument.
Guide to setting up the wii
The document provides step-by-step instructions for setting up a Wii gaming console for use. It details how to connect the power cable and A/V cables to the Wii and television. The user is then instructed to set up the sensor bar below or above the TV, select options to configure the Wii system settings, and calibrate the controller. Finally, the user can insert a game disc and select start to begin playing.
Distract, educate and entertain
Virtual reality games and interactive video games are increasingly being used in healthcare to help patients. They can help reduce pain, manage chronic diseases, treat PTSD, and promote exercise and rehabilitation. Games like Re-Mission help educate cancer patients and motivate them to stick with their treatment. SnowWorld helps reduce burn patients' perceived pain during wound care by fully immersing them in a virtual winter world. Virtual reality is also being used to help soldiers with PTSD by gradually exposing them to simulated trauma.
Computer games and spinal injuries
This case report describes a rehabilitation protocol using a video game-based exercise tool to improve dynamic short-sitting balance for three patients with chronic spinal cord injuries or traumatic brain injuries. The tool tracks the center of pressure to control games requiring weight shifting. All three patients showed increased motivation to exercise and dynamic balance control after using the game-based tool. The findings suggest game-based exercises can positively impact rehabilitation by enhancing patient engagement.
Acute wiitis
A 29-year-old medical resident awoke with intense pain in his right shoulder after spending several hours playing tennis on the Nintendo Wii video game system. A diagnosis of "Wiiitis" or inflammation of the tendons from overuse of the Wii controller was made. The patient was treated with ibuprofen and told to abstain from playing Wii games, and he recovered fully. Physicians should be aware of the risk of muscle injuries from intensive use of new gaming systems like the Wii.
Wii energy use
This study compared the energy expenditure of adolescents when playing new generation active computer games (Wii Sports) versus traditional sedentary computer games (XBOX 360). The researchers found that playing bowling, tennis, and boxing on Wii Sports burned significantly more energy (average of around 190 kJ/kg/min) than playing games on XBOX 360 (around 125 kJ/kg/min). However, the energy expended when playing the active Wii Sports games was not high enough to contribute meaningfully to daily physical activity recommendations for children.
