The experiment needs fifty people divided into two groups of the same size. Group A is to take part in a 7-week exercise, while Group B is not allowed to do any exercise during those seven weeks. On the day before the experiment began, all fifty men took part in a step-test. They were told to step up and down on a 16-inch-long bench at 30 steps a minute for five minutes. After the test each man’s heart-beating was taken and recorded. Then during the seven weeks men in Group A rode a sort of bike-like exercise machine for 15 minutes a day. During the first day ride they were asked to ride very slowly. For the next three days, they were permitted to ride a bit more quickly. And the speed of riding was increased every few days until the end of the experiment, when both Group A and Group B were given the step-test again and the heart-beating was taken again, too. Heart-beating of Group A members was to have dropped to an average of 30 heart beats per minute while that of Group B members remained the same or almost unchanged.

  Fat and shy, Ben Saunders was the last kid in his class picked for any sports team. “Football, tennis, cricket-anything with a round ball, I was useless, ”he says now with a laugh. But back then he was the one always made fun of in school gym classes in Devon-shire, England.

  It was a mountain bike he received for his 15th birthday that changed him. At first he went biking alone in a nearby forest Then he began to ride the bike along with a runner friend. Gradu-ally, Saunders set his mind on building up his body, increasing his speed and strength. At the age of 18, he ran his first marathon

  The following year, he met John Ridgway and was hired as an instructor at Ridgway's School of Adventure in Scotland, where he learn-ed about Ridgway's cold-water exploits. Greatly interested, Saunders read all he could about North Pole explorers and adventures, then decid-ed that this would be his future.

  In 2001, after becoming a skillful skier,Saunders started his first long-distance expe-dition(探險(xiǎn))towards the North Pole. It took unbelievable energy. He suffered frostbite(凍 瘡), ran into a polar bear and pushed his body to the limit, pulling his supply-loaded sled(雪橇)up and over rocky ice.

  Saunders has since become the youngest person to ski alone to the North Pole, and he's skied more of the North Pole by himself than any other British man. His old play-mates would not believe the change.
