Background: While the effects of sodium bicarbonate on buffering capacity have been repeatedly examined short-term and high-intensity exercise performance, studies prolonged endurance performances such as running are scarce. Thus, purpose this study was to investigate effect NaHCO? (0.3 g/kgBW) ingestion 60-minutes prior testing recovery in trained runners.Methods: A total 10 male runners (age:...

Iliotibial band syndrome (ITBS) is a common overuse knee injury that is twice as likely to afflict women compared to men. Lower extremity and trunk biomechanics during running, as well as hip abductor strength and iliotibial band flexibility, are factors believed to be associated with ITBS. The purpose of this cross-sectional study was to determine if differences in lower extremity and trunk bi...

PURPOSE Tibial stress fractures (TSF) are among the most serious running injuries, typically requiring 6-8 wk for recovery. This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine whether differences in structure and running mechanics exist between trained distance runners with a history of prior TSF and those who have never sustained a fracture. METHODS Female runners with a rearfoot strike pa...

This paper presents findings from a qualitative study of British media representations of Islam. It offers a contribution to the literature on the international student sojourn by focusing on the unique experiences of the Muslim segment of that student body. International Muslim students perceived Muslim countries to be portrayed by the media as: (1) sympathetic to terrorism; (2) economically b...
