Tournament: UTD | Round: 5 | Opponent: Trinity HM | Judge: Loghry

The doctor put it about as bluntly as he could. As you sat in
AND
offer some solutions for the individual and for the activity as a whole.

The experiences of Chris Leland, former Director of Forensics at Huntington College, are not isolated.  Debate is a demanding activity for all of us, yet so few of us take care of our bodies.

The flowcentrism of Debate has gone too far.  Spreading, evidence fetish, and arbitrary impacts are all unnecessary for a debate round.  Substance matters.  We need to have a playing field to have a debate.  But it should never supersede the body.  In the status quo, people are sacrificing their bodies to Debate even though a debate round is nothing but the meeting of 5 bodies.

How many people in this community have died from preventable causes in the last few years?  Billy Tate is just a big name.  Many more are suffering in the status quo and many less successful individuals have had their lives ruined and cut short.  Judge, do you want to die at 55 and leave your children alone?

The chronic lack of exercise in the community is also a major cause of health problems, including premature death.

Since 1993, she has reported on the breaking frontiers of health and medicine in articles covering issues such as AIDS, anxiety and Alzheimer’s disease. Park has received two CASE media fellowships — the first in 2000 to Harvard Medical School, where she designed a program focused on the latest understanding of AIDS, and the second in 2003 to UCLA’s Medical School, where she researched the growing number of clinical applications of genomic research. In addition, Park’s work has been recognized with awards of excellence from the National Arthritis Foundation as well as the National Headache
About 5.3 million of the 57 million deaths worldwide in 2008 could be attributed to inactivity, the new report estimates, largely due to four major diseases: heart disease, Type 2 diabetes, breast cancer and colon cancer. The study finds that if physical inactivity could be reduced by just 10, it could avert some 533,000 deaths a year; if reduced by 25, 1.3 million deaths could be prevented. Say we got everyone off the couch and eliminated inactivity altogether: the life expectancy of the world’s population would rise by about 0.68 years (more, if you discount those who were already active), comparable to the effect of doing away with smoking or obesity.

Exercise makes you a smarter, more pleasant person, so the entire community would directly benefit from increased exercise.

A habit of regular exercise will help keep you mentally sharper throughout your entire life
AND
it also means more energy for your brain-http://jap.physiology.org/content/early/2011/07/28/japplphysiol.00343.2011.full.pdf+html, boosting your mental output.
To obtain these benefits, you don’t need to sweat up a storm. In

referred to as "runner’s high."

It is necessary that we begin and engage in discussions concerning wellness in Debate and propose some sort of solution.  The unhealthy state of debate is the result of norms actively practiced by the community, meaning it can only be permanently changed by changing those norms, which requires us to reveal and challenge them.  Failure to do so culminates in death or burnout.

It was August of 1988; I was a relatively new program director attending ¶
AND
well as ¶ an activity? (2) Are we well people?
By most standards, the first question is quickly and easily answered with a ¶
AND
¶ we must ask at what price we’ve accomplished all this competitive excellence.
And therein lies the answer to the second question. Can we truly declare our

have been made to create ¶ this activity which we’re so proud of.

Discourse alone is insufficient. The best that discussion can do to broader performative norms is challenge them.  It cannot replace them.

Without concrete action for change, postmodernism’s `dissident voices’ have remained bracketed, disconnected

moral obligation to do anything about it’ (Spegele, 1992: 174).

Given that debate is an educational activity, real education and accessibility outweigh outweigh all arbitrary extinction claims and the like.

Framework

When we began the round, we entered in a social contract in which we agreed to allow the judge govern us with the ballot.  The state and biopolitics are inevitable.  Thus, the role of the judge is to select and enforce the most productive form of governance over the competitors

Global capital operates on all registers of the social order. It is the pinnacle
AND
more elusive than Hardt and Negri’s condemnation (or Falk’s approval) suggests.

Fitness is a lifestyle; it’s performative.  Continued disregard for Debate bodies ensures that we can never mobilize our bodies in a meaningful way.  The judge should only evaluate performances which create and incentivize fitness, and vote for whichever ones do so the best.

We are a smart group of people. But for a group of smart people
AND
have made it important.

Plan

Through decades of debating the resolution and plan texts as detached, impersonal political statements, fiat of the USFG has indefinitely detained coaches and competitors in a state of poor health.  Thus

Round participants should engage in exercise during in-round down time

We define down time as partner speech time for the competitors, and competitor prep time for the judge.  Each Debater has traditionally been viewed as disposable when it is their partner’s turn to perform.  The judge does nothing during prep time.

Exercise and a healthier lifestyle are necessary for everyone, not just the unhealthy.  Since this is a community problem created by community norms, everyone needs to participate in the fight against poor health, not just those who are currently unhealthy.

Solvency

Aerobic exercise is the best way to create health.  Real medical literature shows that an average of 15 minutes of aerobic exercise each day is sufficient for a healthy lifestyle.

Before any of the unhealthy in this community starts living healthier, they must discover the reality of a healthier lifestyle.  Our performance of fitness normalizes it, demands that others reciprocate, and lowers the barrier for doing so.
