Biomechanical and physiological parameters were compared during voluntary contractions (20% of maximal torque) sustained to failure as subjects either supported an inertial load (high-compliance task) or exerted an equivalent force against a rigid restraint (low-compliance task). The highcompliance task was briefer than the low-compliance task although the decline in maximal torque and changes ...

Today’s enterprises demand a high degree of compliance in their business processes to meet diverse regulations and legislations. Several industrial studies have shown that compliance management is a daunting task, and organizations are still struggling and spending billions of dollars annually to ensure and prove their compliance.

BACKGROUND Little is known about the influence of compliance with neuromuscular training (NMT) on the knee injury rate in football. AIM To evaluate team and player compliance with an NMT programme in adolescent female football and to study the association between compliance and acute knee injury rates. METHODS Prospective cohort study based on a cluster randomised controlled trial on player...

The U.S. Coast Guard (USCG) is responsible for enforcing federal fisheries laws at sea. The USCG routinely reports high compliance rates and uses them as evidence that its program is successful at deterring fisheries violations. Research presented in this article indicates that high USCG-reported compliance rates vastly overestimate the actual rates and enforcement success because USCG at-sea i...

trinidad is a small island developing state caught between the need to engage rapid development while respecting and preserving the environment. this study assessed citizens' education needs related to the environmental laws of trinidad and tobago. it focused on a densely populated, at- risk area of the country referred to as the east-west (e-w) corridor. two hundred (200) persons living along ...

BACKGROUND Central line-associated bloodstream infections (CLABSI) represent a serious patient safety issue. To prevent these infections, bundled interventions are increasingly recommended. We examine the extent of adoption of Central Line (CL) Bundle elements throughout US intensive care units (ICU) and determine their effectiveness in preventing CLABSIs. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS In th...

OBJECTIVES To describe the association between participants' person-related potential predictor variables and cumulative compliance with interventions for preventing ankle sprains: neuromuscular training, wearing an ankle brace, and a combined training and bracing. DESIGN Secondary analysis of compliance data from a randomized controlled trial (RCT) comparing measures preventing ankle ligamen...
