peggy,
those short bursts are often done at sprint speed, an anaerobic
activity. long distance running is aerobic activity. while bartoli might
be making faces at a pace that is similar to an aerobic exercise, the rest of
her is not. looking frantic and exercising are two different things.
could you run 50 yards and sing? when pro basketball players sit
down on the bench for a break, does their breathing look controlled enough to
sing?
