The aim of the present study was to investigate the difference in the horizontal mechanical determinants of sprint performance in highly-trained elite field hockey players versus subelite field hockey players. Thirty-five highly trained field hockey players (18 elite international players and 17 sub-elite players) were tested during the competitive season. They performed a maximal 40 meter spri...

CONTEXT There are significant data comparing elite and nonelite athletes in anaerobic field and court sports as well as endurance sports. This review delineates specific performance characteristics in the elite athlete and may help guide rehabilitation. EVIDENCE ACQUISITION A Medline search from April 1982 to April 2012 was undertaken for articles written in English. Additional references wer...

This article offers possibly the first peer-reviewed study on the training routines of elite eathletes, with special focus on the subjects’ physical exercise routines. The study is based on a sample of 115 elite e-athletes. According to their responses, e-athletes train approximately 5.28 hours every day around the year on the elite level. Approximately 1.08 hours of that training is physical e...

The prevalence of airway dysfunction in elite swimmers is among the highest in elite athletes. The traditional view that swimmers naturally gravitate toward swimming because of preexisting respiratory disorders has been challenged. There is now sufficient evidence that the higher prevalence of bronchial tone disorders in elite swimmers is not the result of a natural selection bias. Rather, the ...

We argue that the productive coop...

We characterize the outcomes of the tertiary education market in a context where borrowing constraints bind, there is a two-tier college system operating under monopolistic competition in which colleges differ by the quality offered and returns to education depend on the quality of the school attended. College quality, tuition prices, acceptance cut-offs and education demand are all determined ...

This paper, through a case study on the BBC Backstage project, argues that the continuing convergence of media and ICT sectors has encouraged a powerful elite audience group to emerge – what I term “techno elite” in this paper. The techno elite usually have access to the latest knowledge and cutting-edge hardware, and is equipped with good skills of manipulating, configuring and re-configuring ...

There are many notable differences in physical and skill attributes between competition levels, especially in team sports. Stiffness is an important mechanical factor to measure when considering athletic performance and injury incidence. Active vertical stiffness (K(vert)) during hopping and passive stiffness during lying and standing were measured during the preseason period for 46 female netb...
