Biomechanics aid in Olympic training By ROBERT McGOWAN Collegian Staff Writer The field of biomechanics is be coming increasingly involved in the training of U.S. Olympic atheletes with the introduction of an Olympic Biomechanical Film Project at the 1984 Winter Games, said the direc tor of the University’s Biomechan ics Lab yesterday. Richard C. Nelson said the film project will study the performance of speed skaters and skiers and is the beginning of intense study of the nutrition, equipment, and training of the atheletes. Nelson discussed the project and other “Current Trends in National and International Biomechanics Research” during a speech pro ceeding a College of Health, Physi cal Education, and Recreation’s graduate student and faculty meet Anniversary • , 4 Save 20% and more on y everything in our store! 20% savings on gernstone rings ...

Most U.S. Olympic athe letes are “psyched out” by the use of steroids and do not realjze the use does not necessarily give the foreign competitors an unfair ad vantage. Biomechanics are also involved in an equipment design committee of the Olympic Medical Commis sion, he said. Producers of running shoes, such as Nike and Converse, are also becoming interested in biomechan ical study, said Nelson. He also said that Peter Cavanaugh, a University professor of biomechanical re search, was instumental in getting those corporations to address the biomechanical aspects of shoe de sign.

Another role in the sports field that biomechanical scientists can enter is in liability litigation, Nel son said. Through litigation one can refute a claim, for example, by reconstructing the accident and proving that it is physically impos sible. University biomechanics have also worked with the Army ROTC students at Penn State in studying pack carrying, Nelson said. Through research,, the biomechan ics concluded that the single stan dard type of pack frames that the Army uses is inadequate, because the frame needs to be adjustable for different activities. Also, the single size is' no longer practical with the growing female enlist ment. / ( c o c o c o V. .'N jC c o c o c o < & 1 - tr'l, »' , < x ** x * .< l\* ] WASHINGTON A senior Navy officer yesterday dismissed as “non sense” criticism of the tactics, pilot performance and'other aspects-.of Sunday’s dive bombing strike of Syri an antiaircraft positions in Lebanon, -.c The senior officer, who spoke under r f ground rules ensuring his anonymity, appeared at a briefing in an effort to counter criticisms from Israeli and Some U.S. quarters. cent war planes.

The A-6Es and the A-7Es, which formed the attacking force, are the fifth generations of their type. The senior Naval officer implied that the loss of the two planes should not be considered excessive in view of what he said were thousands of rounds of antiaircraft shells and at least 40 surfacc-to-air missiles the planes encountered. WASHINGTON (AP) - The Rea gan administration said yesterday the Syrian government apparently is not budging from its refusal to re lease a captured Ainerican airman until all U.S. forces leave Lebanon. “We are in contact with the Syrian government and I don’t have any thing ... to tell you about it,” said Alan Romberg, the State Depart ment’s deputy spokesman. U.S. Navy Lt. Robert O. Goodman was captured by Syrian troops Sun day when he parachuted from his plane after it was hit by a Syrian ground-to-air missile over central Lebanon.

He said that either the SA-7 or the SA-9 Soviet-built missiles used by the Syrians “can outrun a supersonic plane.” “Given the threat that was encoun tered, the loss of two aircraft . . . should not surprise the commander,” the officer said. ' He estimated the 28 bombers were over the three target areas for 14 to 15 minutes. As he described the attack, the planes came in from the carriers John F. Kennedy and Independence at an altitude to 20,000 feet and then dived to about 3,000 feet before re leasing 1,000 pound bombs and clus ter bombs on mobile surface-to-air missiles and antiaircraft batteries, radar equipment and at least one ammunition supply.

The assessment, presented to the Reagan Cabinet last year by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, concluded that “the land and the work force would be available even under the greatest calamity nuclear attack.” “Research has shown that crops are most sensitive to radiation effects during the early growth and repro ductive stages,” the report said. “Thus the percent of crops available for harvest following nuclear attack is dependent on the time of year of the attack.” The text of the Cabinet briefing paper was obtained and released by Rep. Tom Harkin, D-lowa, who said he was “appalled” by its contents. . “The misdirected perceptions of those involved in this briefing ought to shock us all,” Harkin said in a statement. “With information like this, it is no wonder there are those in', our government who believe that we can win a nuclear war.” Jim Holton, chief spokesman for the White House agency that pre pared the report, said Harkin used “rather excessive words” to describe the study. The spokesman said it would be reasonable to assume that agricul ture would suffer less damage than other sectors of the economy. “After all, crops are grown generally in areas where there would not be direct hits,” he said. “You’re talking about heavy industry which would be tar-_ gets. ” ' The study concluded that food proc essing and distribution would be a major problem after a nuclear attack in which half the population was killed. But the problem would diminish because “the numbers of survivors during the first 60 days following an attack drops over time. Thus those who are doomed to die will be con sumers for (only) part of the time,” the report said. Regular to $29
