Active cycling just below
the anaerobic threshold (AT)
Active cycling recovery with
fresh leg muscles
Passive Recovery followed by
active cycling recovery
Rehab trainer arm cranking
at 35% of VO 2 max
Static core stabilization

Dynamic core stabilization

Results and Discussion Data collection is ongoing and near completion. The raw data suggests
that active recovery is far superior to passive recovery. Other findings suggest that (1) recovering
with task specific muscles is superior to recovering with “fresh” muscles; (2) a large muscle
mass (leg cycling) is superior to a smaller muscle mass (arm cranking); (3) recovering at the
highest exercise intensity below AT is superior to the commonly used 35% of VO 2 max; and (4)
core stabilization exercises are an effective alternative.
GENDER AND WOMEN'S STUDIES
Sometimes Ordinary Is All We Need

After two of her nephews and one niece were killed in Belfast on August 10, 1976, Mairead
Corrigan Maguire stood up as a leader alongside Betty Williams and Ciaran McKeown in
organizing peace marches and demonstrations on a daily account. The peace marches took place
in Ireland and England against the British war, leading into a campaign on making Northern
Ireland gun-free. Belfast was undergoing what was seen as “The Troubles” in its height and over
thirty-four hundred people were killed from 1969 to 1998. Maguire, like the thousands of others
who campaigned, was an ordinary person who was struck emotionally from both empathy and
personal affair.
The people in Northern Ireland who sought after an end of the killings were mostly ordinary
women. The “Peace People” was created as an organized movement in 1976 which caused the
largest nonviolent demonstrations known in Northern Ireland’s history. Maguire is a co-founder
of the Community of the Peace People (a way for the group to continue with their peacemaking
initiatives). Mairead Colligan Maguire and Betty Williams, in 1977, were both awarded the
Nobel Peace Prize of 1976.
