Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Endurance training may cause atrial remodeling and arrhythmias in professional athletes. However, there is a lack data on the right (RA) adaptation to half marathon run amateur runners. Recently introduced deformation strain analysis allows assess RA function more precisely. Purpose The study aims influence ten-weeks ...

Selected short distance runners, middle distance runners and long distance runners were subjected to graded exercise on a treadmill. The maximum aerobic power (VO2 max) and other indices related to oxygen transport system viz. heart rate, ventilation volume, breathing reserve, dyspnoeic index, O2 pulse and RQ were recorded at respective VO2 max work loads, and the values were compared. Long dis...

Addressing the cultural and religious beliefs around the issue of family planning has been a big challenge for the international development community. The concept of family planning has raised some concerns regarding its acceptability within Muslim populations. While some Muslim states and organisations have adopted a rather cautious approach to the issue, others have gone to the extent of inv...

Running research has focused on reducing injuries by changing running technique. One proposed method is to change from rearfoot striking (RFS) to forefoot striking (FFS) because FFS is thought to be a more natural running pattern that may reduce loading and injury risk. Muscle activity affects loading and influences running patterns; however, the differences in muscle activity between natural F...

Using a questionnaire validated by the project Biohead-Citizen, where 15 questions are dedicated to evolution, we analyse Muslim teachers' conceptions of evolution in several countries. The first part compares nine francophone countries, with varying degrees of Muslim or Christian culture: France, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Lebanon, Senegal, Burkina Faso, Cameroon and Gabon, and shows a strong ...

The Muslim people’s social status and their lives therefore became the focused concern in the hostile urban environment. What is the Muslim people’s reaction and feel to this change? And how do they adapt themselves to the critical urban...

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to investigate the kinetics, kinematics and muscle activity in runners with Achilles tendinopathy. DESIGN Case-control study. SETTING Biomechanics laboratory. PARTICIPANTS 21 runners free from injury and 21 runners with Achilles tendinopathy performed 10 running trials with standardised running shoes. Injured runners were diagnosed clinically according ...

The ultimate success of the reconquista (the reconquering of Muslim lands in the Iberian Peninsula from 718-1492) and the ensuing consolidation of Spain beneath the joint rule of Ferdinand and Isabel helped define the course of western civilization. This paper uses the unique institutional organization of Muslim rulers in Iberia to explain the fall of Muslim power in the Peninsula. Through vast...
