tiTT says 'supermen' are just a thought away I. "Will somebody jump 30 feet in the high jump, and just over 30 feet in the long jump. Since the pole vault is an event that is largely dependent on a tool, his estimation of 20 feet was less firm than the rest Going beyond those, Dardik says, would require a creature that could no longer aptly be called a man. "We won't have a human being running a two-minute mile unless it enters into a different type of specimen," he said. "That could take a million years.

Right now, it's impossible to say what it could go down to." man to walk on the moon, after he said, his famous line about small steps and' giant steps, the next thing he said 'It's just like we've been here 400 times "That was because of the many hours of preparation NASA spent simulating the moon's surface and conditions here on Earth. That's what we want to do with the athletes." While emphasizing he could not pinpoint an ultimate in any event, Dardik did approximate marks in selected events that he could not envision anyone breaking: 9.5 in the 100, just under 3:40 in the mile, just over 8 feet in the potentials of the body are echoed by Sebastian Coe of England, the current world record-holder in the mile at 3 minutes, 47.33 seconds. Coe recently was asked how much more he could chop off the record. "It's all in my head," he said. "Whatever it's going to be, it's going to be my mind telling my body what to do." Dardik, along with other members of the sports medicine council such as psychologist Dr.

Dennis Waitley, is presently developing programs for American athletes that will begin to utilize their minds. As the games of the National Sports Festival came to an end recently, his work was only beginning. "One of the major areas where we're going to have improvement is psychologically," Dardik says. "The mind is the area in sports medicine where we're going to focus. Once it knows it can do something, the body is capable of extraordinary things.

"Sports medicine and science have been virtually unused in athletic performance. There's all kinds of little things you can do, and no athlete has been adequately analyzed using science properly. "We've looked only at the talent aspect of an athlete, as opposed to the relative quality aspect of a training program done by experience, knowing how to use the techniques of the mind and body." WAITLEY USES an analogy to illustrate what the program hopes to accomplish. "We have the same problems with our astronauts," he says. "There is mental programming that occurs.

When Neil Armstrong became the first long jump? Of course they will. I think this year somebody will break 30 feet We're going to see incredible performances over the next several years." Dr. Irving Dardik, chairman of the U.S. Olympic Committee's Council on Sports Medicine. United Pret International a human being ever run a mile in three minutes? In two? Will we see a 80-foot long jump? According to Dr.

Irving Dardik, the chairman of the U.S. Olympic Committee's Council on Sports Medicine, there are no limits we can set on the potentials of the human body. In fact, he says, the greatest drawback we have is the one part of our body we have always thought of as being the most advanced our minds. "If there is any part of our body Ivnich has developed the slowest," he $ays, "it's our brains. It is our nervous System which has taken so long to begin to adapt, whereas our bodies have been adapting substantially longer.

If we look back into our past, fhat's going to give us the best idea as to what we can look for in the future." Dardik, 45, of Englewood, N.J., has written a three-part series for cable television dealing with man's evolutionary history what it takes for man to survive and what adaptations he has had to make. It will be aired in three one-hour segments in the spring of 1984 just prior to the Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles on Oakmedia, a West Coast network. 0 THOUGHTS on the ultimate Ml a -At 7 2PM LIVE!
