BACKGROUND To improve the scope of the Youth Compendium of Energy Expenditures, a range of everyday activities of varying intensity should be measured. This study measures the energy cost of children undertaking common household chores, rollerblading and riding a foot-propelled scooter. METHODS Participants were 9- to 14-year-old children. A metabolic cart was used to measure oxygen cost (VO2...

Tidal volume (TV), defined as the amount of air that moves in or out lungs with each respiratory cycle, is important evaluating function. Although TV can be reliably measured laboratory settings, this information hardly obtainable under everyday living conditions. Under such conditions, wearable devices could provide valuable support to monitor vital signs, heart rate (HR) and breathing (BR). T...

Identifying talented players requires subjective, as well objective assessments of playing ability and performance. The assessment anthropometric characteristics, general physiological performance can be used for player selection. primary purpose this study was to determine whether positional profiling is possible national level ice hockey by examining characteristics involved two ice-hockey te...

we introduce and  study  fuzzy (co-)inner product and fuzzy(co-)norm of hyperspaces. in this regard by considering  the notionof hyperspaces, as a generalization of vector spaces, first we willintroduce the notion of fuzzy (co-)inner product in hyperspaces and will apply it to formulate the notions offuzzy (co-)norm and fuzzy (co-)orthogonality  in hyperspaces. inparticular, we will prove that ...

ABSTRACT This study aims to verify the association between exercise-induced bronchospasm (EIB), cardiorespiratory fitness, and physical activity levels in adolescents. To do so, we evaluated 202 healthy adolescents aged from 13 18 years, out of which 94 (46.5%) were females 108 (53.5%) males. Participants performed a bronchial challenge test treadmill (Master Super ATL, Inbramed®) evaluate hype...

biomass co-firing with lignite represents an attractive solution for operating lignite-fired thermalpower plants (tpp) with the dual advantage of using local renewable resources and simultaneously reducingemissions. the subject of this study is technical and environmental investigation of the feasibility of the cofiring of soma lignite with some dried agricultural residues in the soma thermal p...
