When I first came here I was afraid to give up my apartment in the Bay Area and went back several times. But I had stamina and resilience here that just weren t available in the Bay Area because of the pollution. After I was out here a while we folded up my wheelchair. And, after being oxygen-dependent for years while driving anywhere in California, I never refilled my prescription after moving here to this desert. 

Corporal Mark, however, frequently stood out. In the bitter battles of Lvov and Przemysl, in which the regiment reportedly lost eighty-five percent of its men, Mark was decorated for bravery. Once in a rear guard action he single handedly held ten Russians at bay until his unit was safely withdrawn. His stamina kept him in good stead, just out of harm, until in September, 1914, he was shot in the right ankle.

Ginseng has been popular for more than 2000 years as a tonic for improved stamina and sense of well-being, particularly in the elderly.

As odd as these activities may seem, these are examples of how firefighting candidates can prepare for the Candidate Physical Ability Test (CPAT). Fire departments around the country use the CPAT to determine whether candidates have the physical ability to be considered for the fire academy, which is where they learn firefighting tasks. Academy directors emphasize that all candidates must have high levels of strength and aerobic energy, or stamina. 

There is no doubt, the Candidate Physical Ability Test (also called Physical Agilities Test or Physical Performance Test) is a crucial step toward becoming a firefighter. Though the type of tests may vary somewhat from state to state and city to city, academy directors agree that the CPAT requires training, particularly for upper-body strength and stamina.

One of the more notorious and abused stimulants is cocaine, a natural product isolated from the South American coca plant, shown in Figure 14.25. Once in the bloodstream, cocaine produces a sense of euphoria and increased stamina. It is also a powerhd local anesthetic when applied topically. Within a few decades of its first isolation from plant material in 1860, cocaine was used as a local anesthetic for eye surgery and dentistry—a practice that stopped once safer local anesthetics were discovered in the early 1900s. 

Heart disease is any condition that diminishes the hearts ability to pump blood. A common heart disease is arteriosclerosis, a buildup of plaque on the inside walls of arteries. As discussed in Section 13.8, plaque deposits are mostly an accumulation of low-density lipoproteins, which are high in cholesterol and saturated fats. Plaque-filled arteries are less elastic and have a decreased volume. Both these effects make pumping blood more difficult, and the heart becomes overworked and weakens. Accumulated damage to heart muscle from arteriosclerosis or other stresses can result in abnormal heart rhythms, known as arrhythmia. Chest pains, known as angina, result from an insufficient oxygen supply to heart muscles. Ultimately, the weakened heart does not adequately circulate blood to the body. People with heart disease have decreased stamina and frequently need to catch their breath. 

Folklore Although of Chinese origin (referred to as Gou Qi Zi as early as 200 BC) the plant has been established in Europe for some centuries and, in Britain, was known as the Duke of Argyll s tea-tree.
