Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of core stability exercises in the trunk area on lower limb alignment and lower and upper limb function in Kyokushin athletes. Methods: The statistical sample of the research consisted of 30 female kyokushin players aged 14-18 years, who were randomly divided into two control and experimental groups. The control group perform...

The principle of core stability has gained wide acceptance in training for the prevention of injury and as a treatment modality for rehabilitation of various musculoskeletal conditions in particular of the lower back. There has been surprisingly little criticism of this approach up to date. This article re-examines the original findings and the principles of core stability/spinal stabilisation ...

In this paper, a rectangular sandwich plate with a constrained layer and an electrorheological (ER) fluid core is investigated. The rectangular plate is covered an ER fluid core and a constraining layer to improve the stability of the system. The two outer layers of the sandwich structure are elastic. The viscoelastic materials express the middle layer behavior under electric field and small st...

the number of constructed dams has been largely increased due to high demands of water supplies, and earth dams are the most common types since they are more compatible to the environment. nevertheless, the stability of these important structures during earthquakes has to be carefully evaluated and guaranteed. in the past, earth dams usually designed with pure clay core, but in recent decades t...

In this work core-shell structure Fe3O4@SiO2@meso-SiO2 microsphere has been successfully prepared. An inorganic magnetic core has been coated with multi-shell structure, dense nonporous silica as an inner layer and mesoporous silica as an outer layer. The dense silica shell can enhance the stability and minimize the negative effect of acidic condi...
