This study compared the effects of a high-carbohydrate and a mixed diet on core temperature responses to prolonged exercise in six male competitive cyclists (age = 22.2 +/- 1.9 years). This study, the first to investigate the effect of a high-carbohydrate diet on exercise core temperature in humans, therefore suggests that three days of increased dietary carbohydrate intakes do not evoke any de...

construction of asphaltic core dams is a relatively novel method especially in iran. iran is located in a region with high seismicity risk. therefore, many researchers have focused on the behavior of such types of dams under earthquake loading. in this research, the behavior of asphaltic core rockfill dams (acrd) has been studied under earthquake loading using nonlinear dynamic analysis method ...

This paper investigates core stability of cooperative (TU) games via a fuzzy extension of the totally balanced cover of a cooperative game. The stability of the core of the fuzzy extension of a game, the concave extension, is shown to reflect the core stability of the original game and vice versa. Stability of the core is then shown to be equivalent to the existence of an equilibrium of a certa...

Core stability may provide several benefits to the musculoskeletal system, from maintaining low back health to preventing knee ligament injury. As a result, the acquisition and maintenance of core stability is of great interest to physical therapists, athletic trainers, and musculoskeletal researchers. Core stability is the ability of the lumbopelvic hip complex to prevent buckling and to retur...

The number of constructed dams has been largely increased due to high demands of water supplies, and earth dams are the most common types since they are more compatible to the environment. Nevertheless, the stability of these important structures during earthquakes has to be carefully evaluated and guaranteed. In the past, earth dams usually designed with pure clay core, but in recent decades t...

STUDY DESIGN A controlled clinical trial. OBJECTIVES To assess the effects of an integrated back stability (IBS) programme on a chronic low back pain (CLBP) population in a time restricted private clinic environment. BACKGROUND Studies assessing stability training CLBP have reported inconsistent results. Methods used within trials vary, with some authors focusing on muscle isolation and oth...
