Researchers have controverted the myth that extreme sportsmen and women are adrenalin junkies with a death o wish, according toa new study. The research has been published in the latest edition of Psychology of Consciousness: Theory, Research and Practice by QUT Adjunct Professor Eric Brymer, who is currently based af Leeds Beckett University in the UK, and QUT Professor Robert Schweitzer. Professors Brymer and Schweitzer said extreme sports were leisure activities in which a mismanaged mistake or accident could result in death, such as BASE jumping, oig wave surfing and solo rope free climbing, “Extreme sports have developed into a worldwide phenomenon anc we are witnessing an unprecedented interest in and engagement with these activities," Professor Brymer said. "While participant numbers in many traditional team and individual sports such as gott, basketball and racket sports seem to have declined over the past decade, participant ‘numbers in extreme sports have surged, making it @ multi-milion dollar industr Professor Brymer said until now there had been a gross misunderstanding of what motivates people to take pet extreme sports, with meny writing it off 2s an activity for adrenalin junkies. "Our research has shown people who engage in extreme sports are anything but irresponsible risk-takers with = death wish. They are highly trained individuals with a deep knowledge of themselves, the activity and environment who do it to have an experience that is life enhencing and life changing,’ he said, "The experience is very hard to describe in the same way that love is hard to describe. It makes the participant feel very alive where all senses seem to be working better than in everyday life, as if the participant is transcendi everyday ways of being and glimpsing their own potential. "For example, BASE jumpers talk about being able to see all the colours and nooks and crannies of the rock they zoom past at 300kmv/n, or extreme climbers fee! like they are floating and dancing with the rock. People about time slowing down and merging with nature.” Professor Schweitzer said understanding motivations for extreme sports were important to understand humans. ‘Far from the traditional risk-focused assumptions, extreme sports participation facilitates more posi psychological experiences and express human values such as humility, harmony, creativity, spirituality and a vital sense of self that enriches everyday life," Professor Schweitzer said. He said because extreme sports participants found it hard to put their experiences into words, the resea project had taken a new approach to understanding the data. ‘So rather than a theory based approach which make judgements that dont reflect the lived experience of extreme sports participants, we took @ phenomenol approach to ensure we went in with an open mind,” he sad. “This allowed us to focus on the lived-experience extreme sport with the goal of explaining themes that are consistent with participants’ experience,'By doing this were able to, forthe first time, conceptualise such experiences as potentially representing endeavours at the © end of human agency, that is making choices to engage in activity which may in certain circumstances lead death.

Brazzaville — The World Health Organization (WHO) welcomes innovations around the world including repurposing drugs, traditional medicines and developing new therapies in the search for potential treatments for Covid 19. ‘WHO recognizes that traditional, complementary and alternative medicine has many benefits and Africa has @ long history of traditional medicine and practitioners that play an important role in providing care to populations. ‘Medicinal plants such as Artemisia annua are being considered as possible treatments for Covid 19 and should be tested for efficacy and adverse side effects. Africans desene to use medicines tested to the same standards a5 people in the rest of the world. Even if therapies are derived from traditional practice and natural, establishing their efficacy and safety through rigorous clinical trials is critical. ‘African governments through their Ministers of Health edopted a resolution urging Member States to produce evidence on the safety, efficacy and quality of traditional medicine at the Fiftieth Session of the WHO Regional ‘Committee for Africa in 2000. Countries also agreed to undertake relevant research and require national medicines regulatory agencies to approve medicines in line with international standards, which include the product following @ strict research protocol and undergoing tests and clinical trizls. These studies normally involve hundreds of people under the monitoring of the national regulatory authorities and may take quite a few months in an expedited process. ‘WHO is working with research institutions to select traditional medicine products which can be investigated for clinical efficacy and safety for Covid 19 treatment, In additior, the Organization will continue to support countries a5 they explore the role of traditional health practitioners in prevention, control, and early detection of the virus 4s well as case referral to health facilites. ‘Over the past two decades, WHO has been working with countries to ensure safe and effective traditional medicine development in Africa by providing financial resources and technical support. WHO has supported clinical trials, leading 14 countries to issue marketing authorization for 89 traditional medicine products which have met international and national requirements for registration. Of these, 43 have been included in national essential ‘medicines lists.

Many plants and substances are being proposed without the minimum requirements and evidence of quality, safety and efficacy. The use of products to treat Covid 19, which have not been robustly investigated can put people in danger, giving a false sense of security and distracting them from hand washing and physical distancing which are cardinal in Covid 19 prevention, and ‘may also increase self-medication and the risk to patient safety.
