ABSTRACT
In most cases of Pediatric practice, medicine is prescribed to the child without taking into consideration his likes and dislikes. The medicines are usually thrust upon them. Though our foremost aim is to cure the patient, we should give due importance to make the process of cure as comfortable as possible. Keeping this in mind, opinion poll of around nine hundred school students from rural and urban population of age ranging from 11 years to 16 years was taken. The result is analysed and suggestion is given to rationalise the treatment for better compliance.

Five male and 3 female runners who participated in 10,000 meter distance run in South Asian Federation (SAF) Games, 1987 were volunteered for this pilot study. The pulse rate at rest, 1 hour prior to competition and post-run for 30 min at 5 min intervals were recorded. It was observed that the runners who showed less rise of pulse prior to competition, performed better. This might be attributed to less pre-competition tension in them which helped the athletes to perform better.
