The five machines cost the physical education department and the Solomon Blatt Physical Education Fund about $15,000, according to Dr. Joe Kiesel, USC neuro exercise physiologist. "Whether you're in the athletic or occupational world, all environments require strength," Kiesel said. "Take for instance, housewives. They have probably one of the most important jobs, and that job requires a great amount of lifting. They need to maintain strong muscles. Therefore,, the need for strength training arises."

Kiesel said the Nautilus equipment offers distinct advantages over free-weight training. "Nautilus is a principle, not only machines," Kiesel said. "It advises proper movement through a full range of motion. Slow, direct movement. If you happen to be working on a Nautilus hipand-back machine, you will be working on those muscles alone," he said. "The machines stabilize all body parts except the specific limb that is to be exercised. In free-weight training your body bends every which way," Kiesel said. "Nautilus allows body parts to be worked more efficiently." Danel kills ;m Droaram A told that it had been explored, plans had been made."

"Through mechanical and physiological principles. Nautilus machines successfully attempt to optimize the amount of work done throughout the range of motion," Kiesel said. "It is for this reason that Nautilus has been indicated to be 92 percent efficient versus 40 percent efficiency for freeweight training. The machines help increase endurance, muscular strength and flexibility," he said. Kiesel said the area where the machines have been set up is too small to accommodate the number of BKjg r": BjUiyai s exercis people using the equipment. "We propose to increase fitness through proposals for larger, more adequate facilities," Kiesel said. "One of the most necessary areas to nave adequate space is weight training. If not, serious injury could result. To be cramped detracts from the effectiveness of the activity," he said. "If we're going to get someone hurt, I'd rather not have weight training," Kiesel said. Before using the Nautilus equipment, students and faculty must attend a seminar conducted by Kiesel and his assistants.
