RE: Feats of extreme strength and power

Dear Will,

I'm not aware of people fainting "on their feet."  However, we just had a synchronized swimmer pass-out underwater while performing figures.  One of the coaches had to rescue her (she's fine).  I'm aware of weightlifters (via Mike Stone) fainting while lifting, but this appears to be related also to breath holding.

Bill

Bill...Has your swimmer been checked for shortened Q-T interval? If that is not the case, you may wish to look in to the matter further. Take care, Tom Rooney...
