There is a thing called periodic episodes of pain, called crises and they are a major symptom of sickle cell anemia. Pain tends to develop when sickle<span>-shaped red blood </span>cells<span> block the blood flow through little tiny blood vessels which go to your chest, abdomen and your joints. Also, sadly, pain can occur.</span>

Sickle cell anemia is caused by a mutation on the eleventh chromosome. It replaces one amino acid with another. This swap of amino acids changes the structure of the red blood cell from a disk shape to a sickle, or curved, shape. The sickle-shaped red blood cells are less able to carry oxygen throughout the body. When organs do not receive oxygen from red blood cells, severe pain occurs.

If you were to teach the ELBOW PLANK to someone who has never completed an elbow plank before, how would you explain it to them?
Klio2033 [76]
1. Plant hands directly under shoulders (slightly wider than shoulder width) like you’re about to do a push-up.

2. Ground toes into the floor and squeeze glutes to stabilize your body. Your legs should be working, too — be careful not to lock or hyperextend your knees.

3. Neutralize your neck and spine by looking at a spot on the floor about a foot beyond your hands. Your head should be in line with your back.

4. Hold the position for 20 seconds. As you get more comfortable with the move, hold your plank for as long as possible without compromising your form or breath.

Some parents build their children’s lives around sports and place a high premium on the successes their children achieve in spor
uranmaximum [27]

Answer: Sports is a good thing for some children because of self-esteem issues. Confidence can also be built for the children and this is important for the future. By participating in sports, children learn to set goals. However, healthy encouragement is a great thing for kids, but only if the children want to continue playing. If the parents are doing this for their own benefit because they played sports or they wanted to play at that age, the line has been crossed.
