Spacetime stretching is included in the general relativity alongside with the spacetime curvature. Response of the vacuum to cosmic stretching is considered as macroscopic quantum effect. This effect explains the accelerated expansion of the Universe without resorting to Plank scale. For negative stretching (collapse) the same effect can prevent formation of singularity. Stretching effect can b...

There have been few studies regarding physical training-induced peripheral nerve dysfunction in patients with hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP), with the exception of soldiers that trained intensively. Here, we report a 15-year-old boy without family history of HNPP who developed bilateral painless brachial plexopathy following short-term barbell and plank training...

Postural problems can occur in cystic fibrosis (CF) patients. Regular exercise is recommended CF management. Core stabilization exercises have a positive impact on muscle strength and physical fitness different populations. The purpose of this study to evaluate the effects core protocol posture CF. Sixteen children with were included study. Patients randomly allocated either group (N = 8) or co...

Background. Training in any sport aims to maximize athletes’ physical capacity. Objectives. This study aimed to determine the effects of two training programs, functional training, and weight training, on the physical capacity of university baseball players. Methods. The participants included 10 university baseball players, divided into the functional training group (FTG, n=5) and the weight ...

BACKGROUND Physical strength is associated with improved health outcomes in children. Heavier children tend to have lower functional strength and mobility. Physical activity can increase children's strength, but it is unknown how different types of electronic media use impact physical strength. METHODS Data from the NHANES National Youth Fitness Survey (NNYFS) from children ages 6-15 were ana...
