Background: Our aims were to investigate the time-course effects of a futsal match on performance, oxidative stress, and muscle damage markers, as well inflammatory antioxidant responses during 6-day post-match period. Methods: Thirty-four female high-level players assessed several inflammation, subjective soreness, rate perceived exertion, performance tests before match, immediately after, 24 ...

Relations between force-velocity characteristics of the multijoint movement of the lower limbs and vertical jump performance were investigated. A total of 67 untrained subjects (age: 19.54 +/- 2.38 years; height: 166.88 +/- 8.53 cm; body mass: 59.14 +/- 10.82 kg, mean +/- SD) performed isometric and isotonic knee-hip extension movements on a servo-controlled dynamometer, and the force-velocity ...

We propose a methodology to measure the parameter estimation risk and model specification of pricing models, as well selection classes, based on realized payoffs, for products in over-the-counter market. Lévy jump models affine jump-diffusion are applied estimating fair variance strikes swaps forward starting option prices. Our results show that both significant swaps, while is dominant when op...

Recent theoretical frameworks such as optimal feedback control suggest that feedback gains should modulate throughout a movement and be tuned to task demands. Here we measured the visuomotor feedback gain throughout the course of movements made to "near" or "far" targets in human subjects. The visuomotor gain showed a systematic modulation over the time course of the reach, with the gain peakin...

The ability to anticipate future states of perceived actions is an important faculty for motor control and the generation of coordinated social interaction. Here, we studied whether the perception of a static posture of a complex movement automatically activates representations of future states of this particular movement event. We did this by using a priming paradigm with photographs of a high...

The acute changes of running biomechanics in habitually shod children when barefoot have been demonstrated. However, the long-term effects on sprinting is not well understood. How does four years participation a daily school program influence sprint and stretch-shortening cycle jump ability children? One hundred one from education (age, 11.2 ± 0.7 years-old) 93 control 11.1 performed 50 m maxim...

AbstractObjective To identify the causal relation between growth velocity and injury in elite-level youth football players, to assess mediating effects of motor performance this pathway. Design Prospective cohort study. Methods We measured body height 378 male players U13 U15 age categories three four months before at start competitive season. At season, also...

Introduction: Cross-training is effective in developing the physical abilities of athletes, but its short-term effects are little known among referees. The purpose this study was to determine a five-week cross-training block on performance soccer Methods: It carried out with 18 elite referees Benin, divided into two equal groups: one experimental group (EG) and other control (CG), respectively ...
