The Pull-up (PU) is a multi-joint upper body exercise that included in the physical fitness assessments for tactical occupations such as police, firefighters, and military personnel. This study aimed to evaluate post-activation performance enhancement (PAPE) PU using elastic resistance training (ERT) traditional (RT). A total of 18 resistance-trained male firefighters (28.3 [5.6] years; 178.1 [...

We study the contribution of the truncated BFKL Pomeron series to the electroproduction process showing that a reliable description is obtained taking into account two orders in perturbation theory. Using the recent F2 logarithmic slope data as a constraint to the adjustable parameters, the inclusive structure function is described in a wide range of the small x HERA kinematical region, consist...

An analysis of Deeply Virtual Compton Scattering (DVCS) is made within the colour dipole model. We compare and contrast two models for the dipole cross-section which have been successful in describing structure function data. Both models agree with the available cross section data on DVCS from HERA. We give predictions for various azimuthal angle asymmetries in HERA kinematics and for the DVCS ...

Introduction In the past few years the field of archaeology has witnessed a new way of studying landscapes: the focus is shifting from a terrestrial analysis towards seascapes and the influence of maritime elements. This new way of researching the landscapes has also reached the area of Mediterranean archaeology. Greece is a well-researched region in archaeology, but until the concept of seasca...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a 6-week scapular upward rotation exercise (SURE) on scapular and clavicular alignment and scapular upward rotators strength in subjects with scapular downward rotation syndrome (SDRS). Seventeen volunteer subjects with SDRS were recruited from university populations. The alignment of the scapula and clavicle was measured using radiogr...

Cross-sectional studies revealed that inclusion of unstable elements in core-strengthening exercises produced increases in trunk muscle activity and thus potential extra stimuli to induce more pronounced performance enhancements in youth athletes. Thus, the purpose of the study was to investigate changes in neuromuscular and athletic performance following core strength training performed on uns...
