the aim of this study was to investigate anthropometric and physiological characteristics in junior volleyball players for talent identification according to their volleyball playing positions. 15 junior national volleyball players (mean age 17.7±0.3 years) participated in this study. players were classified to five groups according to their playing positions: setters, liberoes, middle blockers...

The ability of human subjects to accurately control finger span (distance between thumb and one finger) was studied. The experiments were performed without visual feedback of the hand and were designed to study the dependence of accuracy on object size, shape, distance, orientation and finger configuration. The effects of finger combination and sensory modality used to perceive object size (vis...

We investigated whether there is an optimal grip span for determining the maximum handgrip strength in preschool children and if it is influenced by gender, age, or hand size. A total of 292 preschool children (3-5 years; 59.2% boys) carried out the handgrip strength test with different grip spans (4.0, 4.5, 5.0, 5.5, and 6.0 cm). The hand size was also measured. We also determined the reliabil...

Background and Objectives: Hand hygiene (HH) is crucial for preventing of infectious complications in health care settings. Informing healthcare workers on the recommended hand washing method can promote this practice in the clinical staff. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of training the WHO-recommended five-moment hand washing method in promoting hand hygiene in a health care setting. ...

21. Proof: For any x ∈ Span(v + cw,w), there exists scalars a, b such that x = a(v+cw)+bw. Rewriting x = av+(ac+b)w, we have x ∈ Span(v,w). Therefore, Span(v + cw,w) ⊂ Span(v,w). On the other hand, for any x ∈ Span(v,w), there exists scalars a, b such that x = av+bw. We need to rewrite x = a′(v+cw)+b′w for some scalars a′, b′, in order to show that x ∈ Span(v+cw,w). Clearly, a′ = a, b′ = b−ac s...

Background: There are different treatment options with variable results for the management of pyogenic granuloma (PG). The aim of this study was to evaluate and compare the cosmetic results and recurrence rate of classic surgical excision with a novel proposed method, curettage and punch excision of the vascular stalk (C&P;) ...

BACKGROUND It is important to detect cognitive decline at an early stage, especially before onset of mild cognitive impairment and dementia. Processing speed and working memory are aspects of cognitive function that are associated with cognitive decline. Hand strength is an inexpensive, easily measurable indicator of cognitive decline. However, associations between hand strength, processing spe...

Background: The relationship between anthropometrical and physiological parameters with jumping and throwing distance is important. We aimed to investigate the relationship between anthropometrical and physiological parameters with jumping and throwing distance of young elite female jumpers and throwers <spa...
