Tierney Wolfgram does; she has made running a lifelong career and isnt stopping.In February, the 16-year-old from a high school, US, competed at the 2020 US Olympic Trials. She finished the marathon(42

9、.195 km)with a time of 2:42:47 as the youngest competitor in the race and ranked 76th out of 390 runners. However, the cross-country(越野的)season was postponed to winter because of the COVID-19.So she jumped at the opportunity to train for another racethe Parkway Marathon in California. In November, W

10、olfgram broke the Womens American Junior marathon record with her time of 2:31:49. The old record was 2:34:32, which had stood since 1984.“Im completely stunned,” said Wolfgrams coach. “I knew she was going to break it, but she really did it!”During the run, Wolfgram once hit a wall, but she overcam

11、e it to finish. “I guess I can say I gave it my all,” she told Runners World. “When I finished, all I was thinking was that I felt super happy,” said Wolfgram. This was only her third marathon. In 2018, when Wolfgram was 15 years old, she ran her first marathon just because she wanted to see if she

12、had the ability to do it. “I believed that I would get faster as the distances got longer.Im still glad that I did it.”When preparing for that first marathon, she ran up to 120 miles per week. Although her parents didnt have any background in running, they helped Wolfgram train. At first, her dad wo

16、A.Sports.B.Lifestyle.C.Culture.D.Opinion.CA number of studies show that sports and other physical activities can contribute to the development of self-esteem (a feeling of pride in oneself). For example, Canadian scientists found that sixth-grade students who were more physically active had consider

17、ably higher levels of self-esteem. A study in Switzerland found that teenagers who took part in sports clubs were healthier, including being better socially adjusted, feeling less anxious, and generally being happier about their lives. Similar findings were reported in a study of Latino students, wh

18、ere self-esteem was found to be greatly related to participation in school sport.There seems little doubt that part of the potency (效力) of sports lies in their social setting. There are a lot of facts showing the importance of social interactions for the healthy development of children and teenagers

19、, and sports offer a popular and engaging setting for such activities. Involvement in team sports has been positively associated with social acceptance and a sense of belonging, especially where such involvement is characterized by positive coaching, progressive skill development, and peer support.B

20、ut, the social setting of sports can exclude as well as include. There is now evidence that boys and girls experiences of sports can be very different, and this can affect the contribution they can make to the self-esteem of players. Peer acceptance seems to be an important factor in determining the

21、 relationship between sport participation and self-esteem, and girls can be particularly sensitive to negative judgments. And studies have found that many “girly” boys and girls benefit most from non-competitive physical activities.So, a note of caution ought to be sounded in case sports are conside

22、red to be a cure. Much of the literature on the most positive psychological (心理的) outcomes related to childhood and youth sports stresses the absolute importance of positive experiences. It will surprise no one that bullying, excluding or abuse experiences will harm, rather than support the developm

23、ent of self-esteem, and well-being in general. Sadly, it will also not be a shock to learn that many childrens introductions to sports are far from improving the quality of life.The great developmental psychologist Jean Piaget argued that the foundations of self-esteem were laid between the ages of

24、about 6 and 11. Importantly, this is also the time when children are most likely to be introduced to sports. We should know the importance of positive early sporting experiences for the development of both self-esteem and ongoing participation in sports and other physical activities. Teachers, coach

25、es, and parents have a responsibility to make sure that these experiences “catch” as many children as possible, and for this to happen they need to remember “the principles of childrens development”: Children are not mini-adults.Problems arise when adults forget these principles and kids themselves,

26、 thinking that they are coaching future Olympic athletes or super stars. Unluckily, evidence suggests that talented children are most likely to stand out when they are given time to develop, to play, and to remain children.Children are not mini-adults, and their enjoyment of sports (and their self-e

30、ring and a lot of hard work, but nothing beats the feeling you get after finishing a long workout around the track.But while its long been believed that endorphins (内啡肽)chemicals in the body that cause happinessare behind the so-called “runners high”, a study suggested that there may be more to this

31、 phenomenon than we previously knew.According to a recent study published by a group of scientists from several German universities, a group of chemicals called endocannabinoids(内源性大麻素) may actually be responsible for this familiar great feeling.To test this theory, the scientists turned to mice. Bo

32、th mice and humans release high levels of endorphins and endocannabinoids after exercise, along with many other chemicals. After exercising on running wheels, the mice seemed happy and relaxed and displayed no signs of anxiety.But after being given a drug to block their endorphins the mice were stil

33、l happy and relaxed after running. However, when their endocannabinoids were blocked with a different drug, the runners high symptoms seemed to fade.“The long-held notion of endorphins being responsible for the runners high is false. Endorphins are effective pain relievers, but only when it comes to

34、 the pain in your body and muscles you feel after working out,” Patrick Lucas Austin wrote on science blog Lifehacker.Similar studies are yet to be carried out on humans, but its already well known that exercise is a highly effective way to get rid of stress or anxiety.The U.K.s National Health Serv

35、ice even prescribes(开药方) exercise to patients who are suffering from depression.“Being depressed can leave you feeling low in energy, which might put you off being more active. Regular exercise can boost your mood if you have depression, and its especially useful for people with mild to moderate(中等的

36、) depression,” it wrote on its website.It seemed like nothing can beat that feeling we get after a good workout, even if we dont fully understand where it comes from. At least if were feeling down, we know that all we have to do is to put on our running shoes.12.What did scientists from German unive
