OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of tape, with and without prewrap, on dynamic ankle inversion before and after exercise. DESIGN AND SETTING Doubly multivariate analyses of variance were used to compare the taping and exercise conditions. Subjects were randomly assigned to a fixed treatment order as determined by a balanced latin square. The independent variables were tape application (no tap...

CONTEXT Despite the Psychosocial Strategies and Referral content area, athletic trainers (ATs) generally lack confidence in their ability to use this information. OBJECTIVE The current study's primary purpose was to determine (a) perceived psychological responses and coping behaviors athletes may present to ATs, (b) psychosocial strategies ATs currently use with their athletes, (c) psychosoci...

Latent fingerprints are commonly recovered from crime scenes using tape lifts. Advancements in the sensitivity of DNA testing allow for DNA profiles from these “touch”, tape lift samples to be obtained. One drawback to DNA typing of tape lifts is that the adhesive material on the tape may inhibit DNA recovery. The purpose of this study was to maximize the recovery of DNA from the adhesive mater...

We report the synthesis of free 1,6,7,12-tetraazaperylene (tape). Tape was obtained from 1,1'-bis-2,7-naphthyridine by potassium promoted cyclization followed by oxidation with air. Mono- and dinuclear ruthenium(II) 1,6,7,12-tetraazaperylene complexes of the general formulas [Ru(L-L)(2)(tape)](PF(6))(2), [1](PF(6))(2)-[5](PF(6))(2), and [{Ru(L-L)(2)}(2)(μ-tape)](PF(6))(4), [6](PF(6))(4)-[10](PF...

conclusions acute l-carnitine supplementation possibly affects exercise performance and triglycerides in athletes rather than sedentary men. objectives this study aimed to investigate the acute effects of l-carnitine supplementation on aerobic metabolic efficiency and lipid profiles in sedentary and athletic men. methods fifteen sedentary (20.4 ± 1.5 years) and 15 athletic (21.5 ± 2.4 years) me...

The training regimens of modern-day athletes have evolved from the sole emphasis on a single fitness component (e.g., endurance athlete or resistance/strength athlete) to an integrative, multimode approach encompassing all four of the major fitness components: resistance (R), interval sprints (I), stretching (S), and endurance (E) training. Athletes rarely, if ever, focus their training on only...

A simple, non-invasive dermal sampling technique was developed and tested on 22 human volunteers under laboratory conditions to estimate acute dermal exposure to jet fuel (JP-8). Two sites on the ventral surface of each forearm were exposed to 25 micro l of JP-8 and the non-viable epidermis (stratum corneum) was sequentially tape-stripped using an adhesive tape. Samples were extracted with acet...
