Abstract
Interval training is a concept wherein a person works out at a medium to high intensity for a specified period of time or distance and then reduces the exercise intensity for an equal period of time or distance. A 1997 study found that splitting training tasks into intervals or repetitions will increase the amount of oxygen consumed and needed to be repaid after each unit when compared to performing the same distance at the same workload in a continuous or steady exercise regimen. The paper explains that intermittent, or interval, training tasks were found to place a greater load on the oxygen transport system than do continuous tasks This study investigates the effects of interval versus steady (continuous) training on endurance performance. The paper includes detailed tables.

From the Paper
"The creatine phosphate pool provides a buffer for the rapid supply of ATP for the work of contraction, as well as a link to the cellular sources of ATP. Depending on the type of muscle fiber, this cellular ATP is produced by one or both of two common biochemical pathways?glycolysis (anaerobic) and the citric acid cycle (aerobic). The aerobic pathway is the most efficient off the two; however, when muscle activity level reaches approximately 70 percent of the maximum possible level, aerobic metabolism no longer is able to supply the muscle with a sufficient supply of ATP. At this point, the anaerobic metabolism pathway begins to function. The anaerobic pathway works more quickly, although less efficiently, than the aerobic pathway, and thus can supply large amounts of ATP that are stored in the muscle itself (24)."

Abstract
This paper examines a number of studies on the motivations for robbery, explaining that most studies found that the primary motive for robbing someone was the desire to acquire cash instantly. The paper also explains that adults' motives for robbery and juvenile motives for robbery are similar, and that gang membership is not a major motivation in robbery crimes. Furthermore, the paper explains that while a great number of robberies were committed so that the perpetrator could get cash for alcohol and drugs, many juvenile robberies were also committed because of social factors such as the desire for peer acceptance or because they thought it was "cool".
From the Paper
"Robbery is the taking of a person's possession in his presence, with an accompanying threat or actual act of violence. It is different from burglary, wherein the victim need not be present. It also different from larceny such that there is no violence involved. Robbery is also different from extortion since in the latter, the threat of violence will happen in the future and not the present. Robbery is a felony or major crime. It is punishable by imprisonment and can be aggravated if the offender is armed or resorts to actual violence in committing the crime."

Abstract
This paper examines if the recommendation toward altering sentencing laws for the offense of armed robbery is valid. It explains that this recommendation is viewed as a means of providing a stronger deterrence to the crime of armed robbery, as well as providing the possibility of sending a message to offenders that this type of crime will not be tolerated throughout society. The writer notes that doubling the base sentence at this time would then set up a situation in which the final punishment is significantly greater than the crime. The writer believes that the intent to alter the basic sentence for armed robbery be halted at this time. The writer further suggests that changes in the basic sentencing for armed robbery may prove to be unconstitutional in relation to excessive sentencing, allowing the guilty to be released and the purpose of any type of legislation in regard to this issue to fail to meet its objectives.
From the Paper
"Armed robbery is considered a serious offense because of the various factors that can be present during the process of the criminal act, to include loss of life due to the presence of a weapon. While there may be changes requested to the sentencing in relation to certain crimes, the Federal Sentencing Guidelines provide the basis by which judges may impose sentence, and until recently this document has served as a mandatory issue in the sentencing in relation to all criminal acts."

Over-training Syndrome
From the Paper
"As pointed out above, early detection is the key to keeping the syndrome in check. Similarly, athletes should be aware of their tendencies and realize if they are prone to overtraining. The types of athletes who are most susceptible are single-sport athletes who focus on a very specific movement and who bring to their training an ambitious, focused, almost obsessive intensity. Athletes who are at risk with such characteristics fall into a risk profile and they must therefore monitor their own activities, along with their coaches, so that they do not overtrain."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The civilian police officer is usually on the front lines, making sure that peace is kept, both internationally and nationally. Training for the CP has emerged as ineffective and not useful as times have changed. Terrorists do not care how they kill or maim, as long as their message gets out. The CP must apply all new challenges and solutions based on their training. Training is key when the CP arrives first on the scene to assess damage and try to control it. Training within the organization should not be influenced by cultural disparities or different mind-sets. Each person brings with them a set of core values, but if applied correctly, these values can be an asset to the CP after the officer has gone through training. However, because the training for the CP is not yet complete because of new and interesting challenges they face daily (i.e. terrorism), that training has to evolve daily."

From the Paper
"Presentation methods are those in which trainees are passive recipients of information. This information may include facts, information, processes, and problem-solving ideas. The two major presentation methods are lectures and audiovisual techniques. A lecture involves communication through spoken words. Major advantages of the lecture method are that it is inexpensive, doesn't consume very much time, and is effective in large groups of trainees. There are several variations to the lecture method. The standard lecture involves the trainer talking while employees listen. Team teaching involves two or more trainers presenting different topics or different views on the same topic. Guest speakers visit the session for a set time period and conduct the primary training. Panels involve two or more speakers presenting information and asking questions. "

"An organization is a community. Social interactionists conceive a community as a social group, and that within the community as a social group, individuals develop both their own self-concept and individual identity through social interactions within the community structure (Levine, 1991). Identity refers to self-meanings in a role. Roles are shared norms applied by occupants of social positions. This development, according to social interactionists, allows a person to move from a personal perception of ?I? (the spontaneous self) to a personal perception of ?Me? (the social self), through a role taking behavior wherein the person assumes the role of the generalized other. Through this behavioral process, the person derives meanings from the nonverbal actions and verbal statements of significant others within the community structure."

"Most organizations recognize the value of training; however, the contemporary business environment, as a consequence of globalization and other factors, dictates that these organizations structure training in the most cost-efficient way possible (?Training Trends to Cost Effectiveness,? 1997). For some organizations, the most cost-effective approach to obtaining high-quality training is through outsourcing, which increasingly may involve Internet-based training. Many organizations outsourcing training have ?been impressed with the results. Rather than keeping program designers, administrators and trainers on staff, they have worked with outside trainers who act as an off-site training department. These off-site providers partner with clients to perform a whole range of duties from assessing training needs, to designing appropriate solutions and providing administrative support."

"The purpose of this inquiry is to determine whether there is a need for Ranger training in the United States Army, and if so, why the Army continues to staff such training below minimum safe levels. Fifty-six Ranger students have died while in the Ranger Training Program since it was instituted in the 1950s. Four of these students died in a single incident in Florida in 1995. The investigations following the deaths of the four students identified certain minimum safe levels of training staffing necessary to prevent the reoccurrence of such an incident. The National Security, International Affairs, & Criminal Justice Subcommittee ("the Subcommittee") of the Government Reform and Oversight Committee ("the Committee") has all ..."

Abstract
This paper reports on a study to verify whether training can help organizations and uses a questionnaire to collect empirical data. The author points out that the survey will help identify specific benefits and trends because organizations, like people, have their own individuality and style, and no blue print can be considered a universal fit for all organizations. The paper relates that replacing a skilled and trained employee can be very expensive for an organization in terms of time and money; therefore, organizations are increasingly using training and higher education options in their benefits packages to obtain and retain talent in the organization.

Abstract
This paper explains that the quest for the gold medal and the residual fame and fortune forces younger athletes from college and high school to over-train, especially in wresting where there is a motivation to reduce weight and perform at a lower weight category to have a superior strength advantage. The author points out some of the symptoms of over-training are the decreased ability to perform in terms of strength, power, muscle endurance, cardiovascular endurance and flexibility, a decreased in tolerance to training, prolonged recovery times, altered resting heart rate, chronic fatigue, involuntary eating disorders, disruptions in menstrual cycles, and psychological problems. The paper proposes that IgA, a protein of the family of immunoglobulins found in the mucus membrane of the mouth, be used as a marker of over-training.

"The Profile of Mood States is an important psychological marker that can be used to create an emotional profile of an athlete. This is a high profile often used questionnaire than is extensible to different surroundings. The original questionnaire contained sixty-five questions. Later the questions were reduced to thirty. Test subjects often have to rate different psychological parameters on a scale of one to five. One being "no influence;: five being "completely affected." The questionnaire is subdivided into six subheadings: Tension-anxiety, Depression-dejection Anger-hostility, Vigor-activity (physical or mental strength), Fatigue-inertia (Remaining inactive) and Confusion-bewilderment. In order to avoid confusion with the answers of athletes who might not be completely forthcoming Morgan and co-workers developed graphical representations of the Profile of Mood States. This is called the Morgan Iceberg profile."
