Relationships between sprinting speed, body mass, and vertical jump kinetics were assessed in 243 male soccer athletes ranging from 10-19 years. Participants ran a maximal 36.6 meter sprint; times at 9.1 (10 y) and 36.6 m (40 y) were determined using an electronic timing system. Body mass was measured by means of an electronic scale and body composition using a 3-site skinfold measurement compl...

The purpose of this study was to identify the availability of authoring tools that support vertical flow function based upon empirical experiments. There were five EPUB authoring tools selected for this study. Four major editing procedures were designed for the project. The first was the support of Chinese character input. The second was vertical form editing. The third was ruby position editin...

The purpose of this paper is to review the biomechanics of triple and quadruple figure skating jumps, focusing on information that has implications for strength and conditioning programs. At a minimum, to complete the required revolutions in a jump, a skater must balance the average angular velocity with the time in the air. Vertical velocity at takeoff is similar in high revolution jumps to th...

The recent Ebola Virus Outbreak had a devastating effect on West Africa's already feeble national health systems. We suggest that such an impact turned out to be catastrophic because it hit particularly hard human resources for health and the delivery of primary healthcare services, which are cross-sectional to any health system. National and international interventions failed to understand the...

Introduction: Growing evidence recognizes that patients who are motivated to take an active role in their care can experience a range of health benefits and reduced healthcare costs. Nurses play a critical role in the effort to make patients fully engaged in their disease management. Trainings devoted to increase nurses' skills and knowledge to assess and promote patient engagement are today a ...

at present, the tubular structural systems are mainly used in tall buildings to withstand earthquake loads. although it is possible to analyse the structure by finite element methods using standard three dimensional programs, the system is generally time-consuming and expensive in the primary design work. in this paper, for the analysis of framed-tube systems, a simple method was studied and de...

In [4] we developed a revision-based logical modelling approach for evolvable systems, built as hierarchical assemblies of components. A component may encapsulate horizontal compositions of interacting sub-components as well as specially paired vertical compositions of supervisor and supervisee subcomponents. Our work here extends this logical framework to incorporate programs within each compo...

ABSTRACT Introduction: Training methods that increase muscle strength have an important effect on basketball. Objective: This study was planned to investigate the of a 12-week resisted plyometric training program for isokinetic in young basketball players. Methods: Thirty-five male athletes who participate regular were randomly assigned one three groups: control group (C), exercise (P), and (RP...
