Previous research on conditioning in golf has looked at the effect of physical training programs on outcome measures of golf swing performance, namely club head speed and ball displacement. The current study examined the effect of an 8-week golf specific plyometric training program on the kinematics of the golf swing. Sixteen skilled golfers were randomly assigned to either an experimental or c...

We have investigated the cardioprotective effects of exercise training and/or curcumin on lead acetate-induced myocardial damage. Forty rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: (1) lead acetate, (2) curcumin, (3) endurance training, (4) training + curcumin, (5) sham groups. The rats in groups 3 and 4 experienced the treadmill running of 15 to 22 m/min for 25 to 64 minutes, 5 times a week for 8...

background : patients with breast cancer are predisposed to some psychiatric symptoms and mental disorders as a result of their diagnosis or lifestyle. these problems cause patients to have daily stress, feelings of guilt, anxiety, a dysphoric mood, and impaired social relations. such problems will lead to serious mental disorders. therefore, life skills training may enable patients to cope bet...

OBJECTIVES Children who use cochlear implants (CIs) have characteristic pitch processing deficits leading to impairments in music perception and in understanding emotional intention in spoken language. Music training for normal-hearing children has previously been shown to benefit perception of emotional prosody. The purpose of the present study was to assess whether deaf children who use CIs o...

We propose a Minimum Verification Error (MVE) training scenario to design and adapt an HMM-based speaker verification system. By using the discriminative training paradigm, we show that customer and background models can be jointly estimated so that the expected number of verification errors (false accept and false reject) on the training corpus are minimized. An experimental evaluation of a fi...

Estimating key crop parameters (e.g., phenology, yield prediction) is a prerequisite for optimizing agrifood supply chains through the use of satellite imagery, but requires timely and accurate mapping. The moment in season number training sites used are two main drivers classification performance. combined effect these was analysed tomato classification, 125 experiments, using three machine le...
