The knee joint being the joint that plays a key role in weight bearing and mobility, joint integrity or stability is one of the most important concern. Thus, it is imperative to know and test knee ligaments during any...
Introduction Determination of energy requirements during exercise only on the basis of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 max) is not perfect, Wilmore, Costill and Kenney, (2008). According to studies of Astrand and Rodahl, (1977) and Wilmore, (1977), well trained athletes especially endurance...
Mesothelioma is a rare, aggressive form of cancer that develops from the thin layer of tissue covering different internal organs. The most common lining affected is the outer lining of the lungs and chest wall. Other areas commonly affected are the...
Introduction: Determination of energy cost during exercise only on the basis of maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) is not perfect, Wilmore, Costill and Kenney, (2008). According to studies of Astrand and Rodahl, (1977) and Wilmore, (1977), well-trained athletes especially endurance athletes like...
Posture is an integral part of health and fitness, maintaining a good posture is important during rest, daily activities, recreational, and functional activities. Poor posture can lead to wide range of health issues from a sore back to chronic debilitating spinal...
The Biomechanist Approach Biomechanics is the sports science field that applies the laws of mechanics and physics to human performance, in order to gain a greater understanding of performance in athletic events through modeling, simulation, and measurement. The Biomechanical Approach to...
Introduction This report examines the extent to which the weight gain and weight loss alter the physiological response to exercise. The body requires an adequate amount of energy for muscle contractions and relaxations, metabolic reactions, and to run other physiological systems...
