The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of warm-up strategies on countermovement jump performance. Twenty-nine male college football players (age: 19.4 ± 1.1 years; body height: 179.0 ± 5.1 cm; body mass: 73.1 ± 8.0 kg; % body fat: 11.1 ± 2.7) from the Tuzla University underwent a control (no warm-up) and different warm-up conditions: 1. general warm-up; 2. general warm-up with dy...

CONTEXT Exercise-associated muscle cramps (EAMC) are a common condition experienced by recreational and competitive athletes. Despite their commonality and prevalence, their cause remains unknown. Theories for the cause of EAMC are primarily based on anecdotal and observational studies rather than sound experimental evidence. Without a clear cause, treatments and prevention strategies for EAMC ...

BACKGROUND Static stretching (SS) is a recovery intervention used for the reduction of muscle soreness postexercise. The effects of SS on elite young footballers have received little attention, and therefore the aim of this study was to assess the effects of SS on muscle recovery following competitive soccer matches in elite young footballers. METHODS Ten male participants (16±1 years) were r...

Background: For decades, static stretching has been the standard benchmark for training programs, because it has been shown to increase flexibility compared with other methods of stretching. Objective: The current study investigated and compared the effects of active dynamic stretching and passive static stretching on hamstring tightness. Me...

multistage and semi-mechanized harvesting of rice in khouzestan province, iran, causes much loss. depending on available facilities and conditions, either spike-tooth or rasp-bar cylinders are employed with either direct or indirect combine harvesting methods. the present research studied the effect of these different harvesting methods on the amount of losses in two rice varieties in 2001-2002...

The effect of entropy optimization on an axisymmetric Darcy–Forchheimer Powell–Eyring nanofluid flow caused by a horizontally permeable stretching cylinder, as well non-linear thermal radiation, was investigated in this research work. leading equations the current problem were changed into ODEs exhausting appropriate transformations. To deduce reduced system, numerical method bvp4c used. outcom...

The melting effect, a type of heat transferal process, is fascinating mechanism thermo-physics. It related to phase change issues that occur in several industrial mechanisms. Glass treatment, polymer synthesis, and metal processing are among these. In view this, the current investigation explicates flow dusty nanofluid through stretching cylinder porous medium by considering effect transfer phe...
