Silicotungstenic acid (STA)-containing mesoporous materials were directly synthesized in a nonaqueous medium by sol-gel method. X-ray powder diffraction showed that both as-synthesized and calcined materials possess mesoporous structure. STA contents in extraction solutions were analyzed with inductively coupled plasma. When STA/silica ratio changed from 1:100 to 1:4, the immobilization of STA ...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of glycerol supplementation on aerobic and anaerobic exercise performance in sedentary subjects and athletes. The glycerol supplement treatments were as follows: 40 volunteers were selected and divided into two groups, sedentary and exercise groups. These two groups were further subdivided into two groups. The first group, the placebo (S), on...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of three cycling cadences on a subsequent 3000 m track running performance in well trained triathletes. METHODS Nine triathletes completed a maximal cycling test, three cycle-run succession sessions (20 minutes of cycling + a 3000 m run) in random order, and one isolated run (3000 m). During the cycling bout of the cycle-run sessions, subjects had to maint...

The objective of this study was to investigate experimentally solitary waves run-up on sloping beaches. Conducted in the Super wave flume(5m×5.2m×300m) and the Large wave flume(2m×2m×200m)at Tainan Hydraulics Laboratory (THL), solitary waves were generated by moving the wave board forward in the manner of ramp-trajectory and solitary-wave-trajectory separately to simulate the various of wave he...

To observe the effect of exercise intervention and nutrition health education on body composition fitness female college students with invisible obesity. 60 obesity were randomly divided into three groups: control group, group + group. The had normal study life; used aerobic resistance to carry out collective prescription individual contract exercise; carried basis intervention. Before experime...

The aim of this study was to compare the use of transcutaneous vs. motor nerve stimulation in the evaluation of low-frequency fatigue. Nine female and eleven male subjects, all physically active, performed a 30-min downhill run on a motorized treadmill. Knee extensor muscle contractile characteristics were measured before, immediately after (Post), and 30 min after the fatiguing exercise (Post3...

BACKGROUND A one-year prospective examination of injury rates and injury risk factors was conducted in Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) new agent training. METHODS Injury incidents were obtained from medical records and injury compensation forms. Potential injury risk factors were acquired from a lifestyle questionnaire and existing data at the FBI Academy. RESULTS A total of 426 men a...
