The present experiment examined the effects of food deprivation upon predatory attack elicited by electrical stimulation of lateral hypothalamic sites in the cat. Latencies for attack initiation and for object contact were assessed under ad libitum feeding conditions and compared, in a within-subjects design, to attack latendes following 72 hr of food deprivation. Both initiation and object con...

There is an increasing awareness of the importance environment in academy players’ development, yet limited research has investigated perceptions their talent development environments (TDEs). This study focused on soccer TDE and compared across English categorization (CAT) system. A total 136 U.K.-based male players ( M age = 17.7, SD 1.03 years) representing all four categories (1 highest to 4...

Human selenium-dependent glutathione peroxidase (hGPx1) (EC 1.11.1.9) is thought to be involved in many critical cellular functions as a result of its role in glutathione-mediated reduction of toxic peroxides, and it is implicated as a mechanism of resistance against oxygen free radicals. Previous studies have demonstrated that the gene encoding hGPx1 (hgpx1) is more highly expressed in multidr...

THE INFORMATION WHICH IS AVAILABLE on the properties of motor units in skeletal muscles is chiefly of an indirect nature, having been inferred from observations on whole muscles. Although a muscle is no more than an assembly of motor units, the collective properties of the whole do not convey much information about its parts. The innervation ratios, contraction times, and tensions of motor unit...
