- Hey, cut it out!

The Biological Background of Man

Man and ape descend from

the same ancestors

They can both be classified as

tropical diurnal animals

Man easily adjusts to hot climates

But in the cold he needs facilities

such as clothes to survive

...a distinctive mark of life

is the power of motion...

...normal oxy gen saturation rate

of hemoglobin is 97%...

...the lowest organisms... can

reproduce without fission...

...70- 85% of the weight of

a newborn child is w ater...

...resuscitation aims to...

causes of death vary greatly...

...cell which often stays

inactive throughout its life cycle...

...muscles start at the radius...

40- 60% of a woman's weight...

...a human being also has

a distinct life expectancy...

Listen, here comes a sure bet

The heart is a mysterious organ

Seemingly lacking a will,

yet able to react to-

somatic and psychological changes

rapidly, unexpectedly...

K calling Eetu!

- Eetu receiving

Are you exhausted?

- On the contrary, I feel great!

Slept for 14 hours.

So what's next?

If it's up to me,

we could even tighten up

Remember when the team from

Jrvenp went training in the mines?

Oona receiving.

What mines?

3 km of mining tunnel road.

Might be too tough for a woman

K! Look out for the boat!

Hey! No personal stuff

on company time!

Great training for climbing endurance.

- Should we check it out?

Why not

We need headlamps or something.

Mr. Ski has some

Everyone shut up, or you're dead!

K calling Oona!

- Oona receiving!

Where are you?

- By the bay

Can you stop by the tennis courts?

- Sixty seconds. Over!

K. You're not paid for

flirting on the radio!

And Oona! Stop saying over.

Over!

What are they?

- Check them out. You might need them

The Biological Background of Man

Thanks K. What else can I say

You're welcome. Over!

Hey! Last warning.

The next to speak gets fired

K. There's a job for you at

the National Theater

...through the back, second window

on the right. No buzzer, of course

What was it? Intense pressure

in the heart for... - 15 seconds

Nothing special,

but I thought I'd check it out

I'm in for the Nationals next week.

- It may be good that you came

How come?

- There's an odd murmur in your heart

You said my heart was in top form.

- Yes, in terms of numbers...

The heart is a strange organ, though.

It doesn't always act as expected

Human physiology ensures

that the muscles tire out first

Making excessive exertion on the

heart impossible. I just read it

In theory, yes.

- I feel extremely fit

And rushed over to tell me?

- Just wanted to check things out

And that's what we'll do

Two water polo players are coming

for NMR scans next week

I'll test you at the same time

Can't it wait until after the race?

I won't be able to concentrate

Listen, K. It's not your knee

this time, it's your heart

We'll take no chances here

Until you've been scanned,

training is banned

No!

- Yes!

One for Oona, one for Eetu,

and one for K

Perfect fit.

- Dense but not too tight

No space for air in between.

- Exactly

So when's your next race?

Wonderful!

Really nice! Thank you.

- You're welcome

I thought I'd wait

until the Nationals

But I'm getting itchy feet.

There's the Hyryl race next week

No way.

You'll ruin your self-confidence

What makes you think I'd ruin it?

No races until Mr. Ski has tested you.

You need to be in top form then

If K has worked out a plan for you,

why not follow it?

We'll dive 3 km down to 350 meters

I hope you're not claustrophobic

They stop running stone

at two o'clock

Watch out for the damp spots.

There's a lot of them

Don't worry about the explosions.

They come from caves far away

How the hell do you know all that?

I came to train here last spring.

- And you never told me?

OK. Let's go

Oona. Watch out on the first climb

so your knees won't jam

A small front gear

and a 29- teethed in the rear

The first time on the saddle,

the second 1/4 off the saddle

The third time half and half.

It'll put all your muscle sets to use

For us 24 in the rear

and a large gear in the front

I'll shout when my heart rate

goes over 200

We'll change into light gear

and keep pedaling through recovery

We'll keep at it all week long

Let's go

Switch to light!

Switch to heavy!

Switch to 24!

Recovery!

Full force again!

A helluva hill!

- Isn't it?

K. You look ill.

- Do I?

Yes. And no wonder.

You were up all night

I'll take it easy on the next round.

- And watch while I do all the work

That's not what I meant.

- What then?

Of course I'll do the same as you.

- No, you're not going at all

You'll rest through this session.

You have to get some sleep

Maybe you're right.

I'll skip the next round

Eetu, let's roll on

What was keeping K up all night?

- He recorded my textbook

How about doing something later?

- I have to study for the exam

On Saturday there's the Alleycat

Contest and a party afterwards

And no work on Sunday.

We could think of something then

After you've found 7 plant names

in Latin, head back downtown

Then the city control points.

The finish is by the office

The winner gets a paid day off

and a kilo of Russian chocolate

Two kilos for the loser.

And there's the party tonight

Did you oversleep?

- Yeah, my muscles are totally jammed

The finder of the "crown jewel"

gets a week off on full pay

What the hell jewel?

Who cares. Let's find it

and split the week between us

That way we can

concentrate on the race

Looks like a piece of cake.

- Klade's an ace at cross-country

Yeah, but it's only part of it.

- Ready...

Remember:
"sometimes small

change can make a big difference"

Ready... go!

What was that change stuff about?

- Haven't got a clue

Sometimes small change

can make a big difference

A lousy deal! Two weeks into the job,

and you already got five days off

Now I can study for the exam.

- Exactly

Who won?

- Oona

Really? Congratulations!

Has anyone seen Eetu?

He passed me on the bridge,

but I haven't seen him since

You always have an excuse

You can't seem to finish a race

What's the big deal?

It's just a game

You always give up so easily

If you do the same at the Nationals,

you'll be the laughing stock

What the hell?

What was that about?

- I'm fed up with his bitching

But he's only trying to help you.

- Why do you always take his side?

What do you mean?

You defend him and he

kisses your ass in return

Making you tapes and sh*t.

- I'm not taking this anymore!

What's bugging him?

- He just gets that way sometimes

Can't deal with disappointments

and takes it out on others

Feel like dancing?

- Sure

It's raining cats and dogs

Nothing beats swimming in the rain.

- Oh yes, I love it

I know the best place in town
