Physical fitness is related to health at all ages. Information about physical fitness in the Down syndrome (DS) population, however, is scarce, especially when we consider children and adolescents. A review of the current ...

Given a lack of consensus within the literature regarding which specific training behaviors are important for athlete development, and whether these behaviors are relevant across a range of sports, the main purpose of the ...

The ordinary differential equations for musculoskeletal dynamics are often numerically stiff and highly nonlinear. Consequently, simulations require small time steps, and optimal control problems are slow to solve and have ...

This article is a critical reflection on the methodological issues encountered when using handwritten diaries as a method of data collection. It provides a reflection on a longitudinal study that used diary data from ...

The objective of the study is to examine the impact of accurate and inaccurate 'split-time' feedback upon a 10-mile time trial (TT) performance and to quantify power output into a practically meaningful unit of variation. ...

We hypothesized that the reduction of O2-carrying capacity caused by the withdrawal of 450 ml blood would result in slower phase II O2 uptake kinetics, a lower and a reduced time to exhaustion during severe-intensity cycle ...

Using pressure transducers in soil surfaces prepared in controlled conditions, the vertical stress was recorded at 100 mm, 200 mm, and 350 mm depth within two soil surfaces of 1460 kg/m3 and 1590 kg/m3 for five subjects ...
