Strength is useful really just so that we don’t strain muscles or pull ligaments and tendons when we suddenly have to do something a bit energetic, e. g. lift a heavy suitcase, shift a wardrobe, get out of a chair or a bath.
Suppleness is important so that you can bend and move freely and reach things without injuring yourself.
Stamina is particularly important so that you can keep going without losing breath so you have endurance. One other plus is that if you maintain your stamina over a period of years, it has an effect of protecting the heart.

(7)What happened in Air Controllers Removed from Job for Drug Use? Why did the FAA official say “one drug user is one too many”? (Air Controllers Removed from Job for Drug Use)
答案问询微信:424329
Earlier this month 13 controllers at the southern California center were removed from their jobs for off-duty drug use.
Also today the FAA continued to investigate alleged drug use at the nation’s sixth largest airline, US Air.
Drug use, even off-duty, is banned for controllers under Federal Aviation Administration rules.
So far the FAA has conducted investigations into alleged drug use by controllers at two facilities—Palmdale in southern California and now Kansas City.
In southern California 34 controllers were taken off their radar scopes.
Pending the outcome of investigation, 13 tested positive for drugs, and we were told they could quit or enter a treatment program, or opt for treatment.
Of the roughly 500 controllers at the two facilities only 70 were suspect, and of those only 18 tested positive for drugs.
“One drug user is one too many” indicates FAA’s zero-tolerance attitude to drug use.
