Does complex contrast training induce higher physical fitness improvement in stronger compared to weaker individuals?

Stronger Cuts from Weaker Disjunctions

We discuss an enhancement of the Balas-Jeroslow procedure for strengthening disjunctive cuts for mixed 0-1 programs. It is based on the paradox that sometimes weakening a disjunction helps the strengthening procedure and results in sharper cuts. When applied to a split cut derived from a source row of the simplex tableau, the enhanced procedure yields, besides the Gomory Mixed Integer cut (GMI)...

Physical Fitness in Initial Entry Training

The fitness training unit in U.S. Army basic combat training: physical fitness, training outcomes, and injuries.

This study involved a retrospective examination of physical fitness, training outcomes, and injury rates among personnel in the Fitness Training Unit (FTU). Personnel were assigned to the FTU based on low performance on push-ups, sit-ups, and/or a 1-mile run (N = 44 men, 95 women) and received an augmented physical fitness program before basic combat training (BCT). They were compared with 712 ...

Physical Activity and Fitness for Individuals

Stronger nasal responsiveness to cold air in individuals with rhinitis and asthma, compared with rhinitis alone.

BACKGROUND We have previously proposed that, compared with rhinitis alone, the constellation of upper and lower airway allergic disease is a manifestation of a more severe form of a syndrome affecting the entire airway. If this is correct, not only the lower, but also the upper airways of patients with asthma and rhinitis should demonstrate more abnormalities compared with patients with rhiniti...
