Purpose: To compare the effects of a single bout of eccentric cycling (ECC) and eccentric cycling with blood flow restriction (ECC[subscript BFR]) on the changes in cardio-metabolic demand and indirect markers of muscle damage in healthy men. Method: Twenty-one young men (24.0 ± 3.2 y) were randomly allocated in two groups to perform a 30-min…

The purpose of this study was to analyze the kinematic variables that determine the performance of the standing long jump in children 6- to 12-years-old. There were 121 healthy children (58 girls) recorded while they performed the standing long jump test. All kinematic variables showed a significant correlation with calculated jump distance and…

We examined the relationships between heights of different vertical jumps and isometric single-joint strength characteristics of ankle, knee, hip, and trunk joints in young male soccer players (n = 117). The highest peak torque and rate of torque development (RTD) outcomes were in low to moderate correlation with jump heights (r = 0.25-0.50). The…

In this paper, we present and discuss an explorative study on the use of a social 360° virtual reality (360VR) for supporting case-based Problem Based Learning (case-PBL) in clinical medical education. In the context of case-PBL, we argue that our social 360VR learning space extends the design and application of cases in medical education by…

The officer who murdered George Floyd by pressing his knee on his neck symbolizes the chokehold systemic racism and antiblackness has had on Black people. The Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement has provided a critical space where marginalized people of color can find their voice by engaging in social activism as well as a space where they can…

The purpose of this study investigation of the effect of sport training and education on Q angle in young males and females. The Quadriceps Q angles of 240 female and 600 male subject were measured in both supine and standing positions by goniometer. It was used t-tests for statistical analyses. In this study, the average age was found to be 19.16…

Uses of models play an important role by simulating the bone, obviating the need to experiment on humans or animals. The aim of the present study was to access local materials as gypsum and wax is to be tested for performing a knee model matching bone in the density also to explore how students can come to understand function through a model-based…

In previous studies, the acute effects of movement constraints on the countermovement jump performance are investigated; however, the longitudinal effects of implementing the constraint in a training regimen are not well studied. The purpose of this study was to examine the phenomenon of motor learning development due to application of task…

The purpose of the study is to compare the ratio of lower extremity isokinetic hamstring/quadriceps ratio (H/Q), bilateral strength difference (BLD) and relative peak torques (RPT) in volleyball players according to the leagues. 101 volleyball players participated in the study (female=34, male=25 from 1st league; female=21, male=21 from 2nd…

The aim of this study is to evaluate the musculoskeletal disorders observed in footballers with regard to dominant foot preference. The research sample consists of 40 volunteer male footballers with an age range of 14--18, who are students at Aydin Incirliova Sport High School in the school year of 2018--2019. "Waterloo Handedness…

Knee osteoarthritis often occurs in medial and patellofemoral compartments. A bicompartmental knee replacement system replaces these two affected knee compartments and keeps the lateral compartment and cruciate ligaments intact. It is yet to be determined whether limbs with bicompartmental knee systems can demonstrate frontal-plane knee mechanics…

The purpose of the present study was to determine the relationship between healthy lifestyle behaviors, physical fitness, and coronary risk factors in university students. 320 male and female (nm: 171; nf: 149, respectively) students from a university participated in this study voluntarily. For the determination of body composition and Body Mass…

The purpose of this mixed methods study was to examine and gain an understanding of how educators' awareness of structural inequities and level of cultural competence impact their practice of teaching Black and Brown middle school students. This study was conducted amid two global pandemics (COVID-19 and Social Injustice) and used a mixture of…

One of the main issues in language learning is to find ways to enable learners to interact with the language input in an involved task. Given that computer-based simulation allows learners to interact with visual modes, this article examines how the interaction of students with an online video simulation affects their second language video…

It is a tragic irony that George Floyd Jr., once a brilliant Black boy with dreams to serve on the highest court in the U.S., would grow up to be murdered by a white law enforcement officer who pressed his knee needlessly against Floyd's neck for 8 minutes and 46 seconds. What did young George Floyd learn about the justice system? What do young…
