Show Friday. Ptgo Twefvt Fbrury20. 1987 Exercise can give you nmore than you expected. By Tisa Ai. Moltton Chronicle staff writer Exercise physiologists Terry Shepherd A large percentage of Americans who exercise on a regular basis are willing to hit the pavement or log those miles because they enjoy the benefits that go along with the effort. These benefits include calorie burning, cardiovascular fitness and a sense of well-bein- g. But these same people are actually getting far more for their w orkout than they realize. and Pat Eisenman work out of the Univeristy of Utah Human Performance Lab, to provide documented data on the relationship between exercise and health. a class, "The Together they team-teac- h Health Benefits of Exercise," which is offered to students in any major. The role of the class is to inform the public about the benefits of exercise that have been documented and tested and to let people know about false or undocumented statements that may mislead the public about health information. Some of the class topics include the relationship between aerobic exercise and diabetes, mental health, stress, hypertension and longevity. Shepherd and Eisenman agree that exercise plays a vital role in the overall well-bein- g of the individual. They work to together present that thought combined with the effects of exercise to specific health topics. "That we're trying to do in this class is increase the understanding of the literature that's out there," Eisenman said. "There's some good information and some misleading information that w e try to either substantiate or refute and then w e try to present those findings in a jargon that's easily understood by everyone. It is our intent to let the public as a whole know the positive as well as negative aspects of exercise and how that relates to other health issues in our lives."

"This has to stop. It's happened to my wife and to many other innocent children and citizens," Matheson said. is barbaric. What kind of society do we have that stoops to that kind of entertainment for amusement and gain?" "This is what happned to an innocent boy playing outside many years ago," Roger Harris, Utah Organized Crime Bureau officer, said showing a graphic photo of a faceless, decapitated boy. Money said he was further compelled to introduce the bill when law enforcement officers approached him and said that they hadn't made one dog fighting bust where drugs and narcotics weren't used and distributed. because citizens were being attacked, severely crippled and killed by trained pit bulls." Sen. Ivan Matheson, City, testified that eight years ago, his w ife was almost killed by an attacking pit bull terrier while walking to church one morning. "The dog had been brought in over the border, to St. George, and was being hid in a mobile home," Matheson recalled. "Apparently the people hiding the dog had let it loose to get some exercise when it attacked my wife." The trained killer dog gave no warning growl or bark, but tore into Ms. Matheson's leg muscle and foot. She fell to the ground where the dog began biting her neck and cheek. Doctors said she'd be crippled the rest of her life.' Dog-fighti- ng 581-74- 40 "I was also disturbed to learn that the top organizer of dog fighting was here in our state because it was only a misdemeanor crime in Utah to run dog fights," Money said. "Like 21 other states, we needed to put teeth into our law and make it a felony to run dog fights." "A misdemeanor is just a misdemeanor," Lynes said. "But a felony stays with you. Now with harsher penalties we can do more than just slap the criminal on the wrist. "If a criminal on parole is caught at a dog fight, he is associating with felons. That's grounds for having his parole revoked. If that is the case maybe he'll think twice about going." "With this new legislation, dog fighting can be stopped," Harris said. TODAY!
