This study investigated if the quantity of high-speed running (movements >15 km.h(-1) completed in the first 15 min of competitive football matches differed from that completed in the corresponding 15 min of the second half. 20 semi-professional soccer players (age 21.2±3.6 years, body mass 76.4±3.8 kg, height 1.89±0.05 m) participated in the study. 50 competitive soccer matches and 192 data fi...

objective: to systematically identify the various methods of speed management and their effects. methods: a systematic search was performed in science direct, ovid medline, scopus, pubmed and proquest databases from april to june 2015. hand searching and reference of selected articles were used to improve article identification. articles published after 1990 which had reported on efficacy/effec...

present study is an extension of earlier work carried out on two-lane two way roads in the two provinces of pakistan i.e. n-25, n-55 and n-5 regarding the measure of operating speed and development of operating speed prediction models. curved sections of two-lane rural highways are the main location of run-off road accidents. in addition to that the road alignment having combination of geometri...

Circulating lipoproteins may offer interesting properties as therapeutic carriers for cytokines and hormones, in terms of both stability and bio-distribution. The fusion of apolipoprotein A-I with interleukin-15 (IL-15) targets the latter to high-density lipoproteins (HDLs). The bioactivity of this chimera can be further enhanced by creating triple fusions with IL-15 receptor α domain involved ...

kermanshah province is the main producer of various chickpea cultivars in iran. in this study a laboratory peg-tooth thresher was employed for chickpea threshing. the effect of cylinder speed (9, 12, 15 m/s), concave clearance (12, 14, 16 mm), feed rate (80, 160, 240 kg/h) and material moisture content (5, 10, 15% w.b.) was studied on percentage of grain damage, threshing efficiency and percent...

The effects of acute and developmental temperature on maximum burst swimming speed, body size, and myofibrillar ATPase activity were assessed in tadpoles of the Pacific tree frog, Hyla regilla. Tadpoles from field-collected egg masses were reared in the laboratory at 15 degrees (cool) and 25 degrees C (warm). Body size, maximum burst swimming speed from 5 degrees to 35 degrees C, and tail myofi...

Resisted sprint training (RST) affects sprint speed in the acceleration phase, but there is no research regarding this for in adolescents. This study investigated the effects of RST on sprint speed and ground reaction force (GRF) in high school baseball players. Subjects were assigned to the resisted sprint group (RSG, n=10, loading 20% body mass), or the normal sprint group (NSG, n=9, without ...
