Dibana noMcebisi oPhezulu wezoNyango we-NFL-Ngumfazi!

Umxholo

• Uphengululo lwe

Kule minyaka imbalwa idlulileyo, iNational Soccer League ibisezindabeni malunga nendlela ebisabela ngayo kwiziphumo ezinokubangela ukwenzakala okuphindaphindiweyo kwentloko kunye neempikiswano. Ukusebeza kuquka "iyingozi kangakanani imixube?" kwaye "ingaba iLeague yenza ngokwaneleyo?"

Ngo-Epreli, ijaji yagweba kwi-class-action lawsuit against NFL, inikezela ngamawaka abadlali abadla umhlala-phantsi ukuya kwi-5 yezigidi zeedola nganye kwiingxaki ezinzulu zonyango ezibangelwa ukulimala ngokuphindaphindiweyo. Kodwa, ngelo xesha, i-League yayisele idale indawo entsha yokujonga umba weengxubusho kunye nendlela yokukhusela ngcono abadlali, kunye nokukhusela impilo yabadlali ngokubanzi: uMcebisi oPhezulu wezoNyango weNFL.

Ngubani ochwelwe ukuzalisa le ndima intsha? Abaninzi bamangaliswa kukuva igama lowasetyhini libizwa, kodwa mhlawumbi kungenxa yokuba zange bafunde kwakhona uGqirha Elizabeth Nabel. AyingoNabel kuphela ingcali yezentliziyo kunye nomongameli we-Brigham ne-Women's Hospital e-Boston, kodwa ukwangu-profesa kwi-Harvard Medical School, owayesakuba ngumlawuli we-National Institute of Health's National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, waze wanceda Iphulo leNyaniso yeNtliziyo (ekwabizwa ngokuba liphulo elithi "Isinxibo esiBomvu", elijolise ekukhuliseni ulwazi ngempilo yentliziyo yabasetyhini) ukusuka emhlabeni. (Kuvakala ngathi usendleleni yokuba ngomnye wabafazi abali-18 kwimbali abatshintshe umdlalo wezempilo kunye nokuqina.)

Ngoku, lo gqirha uphezulu uxakeke kakhulu uya kongamela impilo kunye nokuphila kakuhle kwamadoda adlala owona mdlalo ujongwe kakhulu kwilizwe liphela-kwaye ngokubonakala kwebhola ekhatywayo, ucinga ukuba isikhundla sakhe sinokuba nefuthe elibi ngaphezu kwabafana abakwiLeague. . Njengoko ixesha leNFL liqala, sabamba uGqr Elizabeth Nabel ukufumana ezinye izinto kwindima yakhe entsha.

Ubume: Yintoni ekwenze wafuna ukuthathaiIsikhundla esandula ukwenziwa seNFL soMcebisi oyiNtloko wezoNyango?

U-Elizabeth Nabel (EN): I-NFL ineqonga elingenakuthelekiswa nanto lokuchaphazela utshintsho-kungekuphela nje kwibhola ekhatywayo okanye kwezemidlalo, kodwa kubadlali bayo yonke iminyaka, kuyo yonke imidlalo-yiyo loo nto ndifuna ukuthatha le ndima. Ngokuzibophelela ngokunzulu kwe-NFL kuphando lwezesayensi-kunye nenkxalabo enkulu kwezemidlalo ejikeleze impilo, ngakumbi iimpikiswano-ndibone ukubanakho ukwenza ifuthe. Ukusetyenziswa kophando lwezonyango kunye nenkqubela phambili yezobuchwepheshe, kudityaniswa nokuqeqeshwa kwabadlali kunye nabaqeqeshi, kwenze umdlalo ukhuseleke ngakumbi, kodwa kuninzi okufuneka kwenziwe. Ngokunceda ukwenza ezemidlalo zikhuseleke, ndingayinxalenye yokuphucula impilo yoluntu lwethu xa lulonke, kwaye kuyonwabisa kakhulu! Njengomzali, kwaye ngethemba lokuba ngenye imini umakhulu notatomkhulu, ndiyazingca ngokudlala indima ekwakheni inkcubeko yokhuseleko kwisizukulwana esilandelayo. (UNabel ayinguye yedwa umfazi omtsha kwiqela leNFL. Nantsi into ekufuneka uyazi malunga noJen Welter, umqeqeshi omtsha weNFL.)

Ubume:Phayitoni yemicimbi yezempilo enokuthi ihlasele abadlali kwi-NFL. Ufike njani kwindima yakho njengomcebisi, ngakumbi ngemvelaphi yakho njenge-cardiologist?

EN: Indima yam njengomcebisi weqhinga kwiligi kukuqinisekisa ukuba iingqondo ezigqwesileyo neziqaqambileyo kuzo zonke izinto ezisebenzayo zisebenza ngokubambisana ukwenza umdlalo ukhuseleke. Njengogqirha wentliziyo, bendinomdla wexesha elide kwimpilo kunye nokuba sempilweni, kwaye siyazi ukuba imithambo kunye nokubandakanyeka kwezemidlalo licandelo elikhulu laloo nto. Inene malunga nokwenza ezemidlalo zikhuselekile kunye nokukhuthaza impilo ngayo nayiphi na indlela esinokuyenza.

Ubume:Iingqungquthelakwi-NFL ngokuqinisekileyo ibe ngumxholo omkhulu wengxoxo. Ufunde ntoni ngokwenzakala kwengqondo ukuza kuthi ga ngoku?

EN: Ndikholelwa ngokuqinileyo kumandla ophando olusekelwe kubungqina kunye nokuguqulelwa kwezinto ezifunyenweyo kwinkqubela phambili yezonyango eziza kuphucula impilo kunye nokhuseleko lwabo bonke abantu abadlala imidlalo. Sisekuqaleni kokuqonda iziphumo zexesha elide zokuphindaphinda ukwenzakala entloko. Kufuneka siqonde ngcono i-biology eyisiseko, iindlela ezisemva kokulimala okuphindaphindiweyo kwentloko, umzekelo, kwaye emva koko ngesiseko sokuqonda okubalulekileyo, sinokucinga ngokuyila izixhobo zokuxilonga kunye nokuphuhlisa iindlela zonyango. Le nkqubo ayisebenzi kwintlungu yentloko kuphela, kodwa nakweminye imiba ngokunjalo. Kulo nyaka wokuqala, ndifuna ukukhawulezisa kunye nokwenza nzulu umsebenzi owenziwayo ngeyona njongo iphambili yokwenza umdlalo ukhuseleke.

Ubume: Zintoni iiabanyeyeminye imicimbi ephambili ubushukuma nayo kwiinyanga zakho zokuqala zomsebenzi?

EN: Eyona nto kugxilwe kuyo kum yindawo yempilo yokuziphatha. Siyazi ukuba impilo yokuziphatha ibotshelelwe kwimpilo yomzimba, kwaye kufuneka sixhase uphando ukuze sifumane ukuqonda okukhulu malunga nendlela enye echaphazela ngayo enye. Sidinga ukuqonda okungcono malunga neziganeko kunye nokuxhaphaka kokudakumba, ukuzibulala, ukusetyenziswa kakubi kweziyobisi, kunye neminye imiba yokuziphatha-kungekhona kuphela kwibhola, kodwa nakweminye imidlalo. Olu lwazi luya kusinceda ukuba siqonde indlela impilo yokuziphatha enxibelelana ngayo nempilo yomzimba, kungekuphela nje kwiminyaka yokudlala esebenzayo, kodwa kubomi bonke bembaleki.

Ubume: Ngaba ikhona into ekumangalisayomalunga ne-NFL ukuza kuthi ga ngoku? Zeziphi ezinye zezinto ozifundileyo ngeLigi ongazi ukuba zingena phi?

EN: Njengogqirha, umama, kwaye njengomlandeli, ndothuswa kukufunda ngawo onke amaphulo aqhubekayo kunye nezixhobo ezinkulu ezenziwa yiNFL ukwenza imidlalo kuwo onke amanqanaba ikhuseleke, ngakumbi imidlalo yolutsha. Oku kuzibophelela yenye yezinto ezanditsalela kule ndima. Ndiyakholelwa ukuba i-NFL inamandla okuqhuba uphando oluya kuba nefuthe lamanzi kuyo yonke imidlalo, ukusuka kwingcali ukuya kwi-amateur ukuya kwezolonwabo.

Undoqo kubunkokeli obusebenzayo kukuqonda ukuba ayifanelanga zonke izinto. (Akungabazeki ukuba uNabel uphula izithintelo, njengabafazi abomeleleyo abatshintsha ubuso bamandla amantombazana njengoko sisazi.)

Ubume: Ukuthetha ngenye yakhosebenza, ungasixelela ngakumbi malunga nomsebenzi wakho njengomongameli weBrigham kunye nabafazi?
