OBJECTIVES This study examined the association between self-reported mental toughness and behavioural perseverance among a sample of male Australian footballers in a naturalistic context. DESIGN Cross-sectional field study, with the multistage 20m shuttle run test (MST) employed as a proxy for behavioural perseverance. METHODS 330 male Australian footballers aged between 15 and 18 years (M=...

OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to examine the influence of physical fitness (PF) on the development of subcutaneous adipose tissue in children followed longitudinally over a 9 year period ranging from childhood to adolescence. DESIGN This longitudinal study followed 518 healthy participants (262 boys, 256 girls) over a 9-year period ranging from childhood (age 6) to adolescence (age...

OBJECTIVES To compare 10-minute (min) delayed hepatocyte phase imaging (HPI) using a 30° flip angle (FA) (10m-FA30) and 20-min delayed HPI using a 10° FA (20m-FA10) or 30° FA (20m-FA30) in Gd-EOB-DTPA-enhanced MRI in patients with chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis, in terms of lesion-to-liver contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) and detection sensitivity for focal hepat...

conclusions independent of their level, professional soccer players, need 48 hours to recover after an official match. professionals gain more fatigue than young players after a match, but recover as fast. thus, they recover more efficiently especially due to a better physical condition and fitness training. it is expected that the results showed in the study help elite soccer and fitness coach...

A numerical investigation of the deflection on blades three different materials against range wind speeds, and effect blades’ aerodynamic performance was carried out. ABS plastic, wood glass fiber were used to make blade solid models with Eppler E387 airfoil. Using ANSYS software, load impact simulation over operation speeds determine tip deflections. Highest lowest found be for plastic fibre r...
