The basic drill of plyometric training aimed at improving lower limb power and jump height is a drop jump. This exercise can be performed using different techniques, which substantially affects jump variables. Therefore, the aim of this study was to compare the values of the reactive strength index (RSI) for countermovement drop jumps (CDJs) and bounce drop jumps (BDJs). The study was carried o...

Index coding is often studied with the assumption that a single source has all the messages requested by the receivers. We refer to this as centralized index coding. In contrast, this paper focuses on distributed index coding and addresses the following question: How does the availability of messages at distributed sources (storage nodes) affect the solutions and achievable rates of index codin...

the aim of this study was to determine the effect of resistance training for 10 weeks on muscle strength, lean body mass, serum myostatin, and insulin resistance in obese-overweight men. seventeen obsess-overweight men(age:=43.1±4.7 yr, body mass index = 29.1±2.17 kg/m2) participated in the study the subjects were randomly assigned to resistance training (n=9) and control (n=8) groups. resistan...

Understanding which factors influence medicinal plant species selection and harvest or use pressure can provide valuable insights for sustainable management of natural resources conservation efforts. The utilitarian redundancy model, a theoretical framework in ethnobotany, suggests that are therapeutically redundant fulfil similar therapeutic functions within traditional ethnomedicine less like...

This paper proposes a method for the optimal placement of phasor measurement units (PMUs) complete observability power system based on degree neighbourhood vertices. A three-stage algorithm is used to determine minimum number PMUs needed make observable. The key objective proposed methodology minimize total completely observe network and thereby installation cost. In addition, technique also fo...
