Despite unfounded reports in the mass media of extremely high injury rates among adult exerciser

15、s, there have been few good studies of exercise injuries in populations. One of the difficulties in performing such studies has been the need to identify both the number of cases and the number of people at risk for injury. In other words, it is difficult to know the number of individuals injured an

16、d the total number of individuals exercising in the population. But these two figures are necessary in order to calculate (统计 ) true injury rates Normally, injury is defined as an accident that causes a person to stop exercising for al least one week. The best available studies on injury rates show

17、that about 25 to 30 percent of adult runners become “injured“ (based on the above definition) over the course of a year. More serious injuries include those for which the injured person seeks medical care. If only they are considered, injury rates are much lower, perhaps in the range of 1 percent pe

18、r year. Little is known about the causes of exercise injuries.

Factors such as age, sex, body type, and experience have not been

19、 shown to be associated with risk of injury. It seems logical that structural abnormalities, sudden increases in training intensity, and types of equipment used are likely to be related to injury risk. However, data to support these opinions are not available. 25 What is the writers attitude towards

20、 high injury rates among adult exercisers reported by the mass media? （ A） Positive. （ B） Indifferent. （ C） Negative. （ D） Reserved. 26 The true injury rates are obtained from _. （ A） the average number of injuries for each individual （ B） the amount of exercises for each individual （ C） the numbers

21、 of the injured and all individuals in training （ D） the numbers of people doing exercises and those stopped exercises for one week 27 Which of the following is NOT shown as the factor for causing exercise injuries? （ A） The amount of exercise. （ B） The age, sex and body type. （ C） Structural abnorm

22、alities. （ D） Tile sudden increases in training intensity. 28 The factors that are in relation to exercises injuries _. （ A） have been obtained from many good studies （ B） have been confirmed by many data （ C） cannot confirm the risk of equipment types （ D） can be proved easily by the data through c

23、alculation 29 The passage is mainly about _. （ A） the high injury rates for those doing exercises （ B） the ways to avoid exercise injuries （ C） the evidences for the seriousness of exercise injuries （ D） the studies about injury rates and causes for injuries Task 2 Directions: This task is the same
