Handheld load has been reported to enhance horizontal jump performance, however little is known about its influence on ground reaction forces (GRF), especially in female athletes. This study investigated the effects of individualized optimal handheld loading on the technical and physical ability to apply GRF during horizontal jumping in female netball players. Maximal effort, single standing, h...

We first show that a bounded linear operator $ T $ on a real Banach space $ E $ is quasicompact (Riesz, respectively) if and only if $T': E_{mathbb{C}}longrightarrow E_{mathbb{C}}$ is quasicompact  (Riesz, respectively), where the complex Banach space $E_{mathbb{C}}$ is a suitable complexification of $E$ and $T'$ is the complex linear operator on $E_{mathbb{C}}$ associated with $T$. Next, we pr...

In this article, we further consider the above system. In particular, we give a sufficient condition under which the above system is Kato chaotic for $eta=0$ and a necessary condition for the above system to be Kato chaotic for $eta=0$. Moreover, it is deduced that for $eta=0$, if $Theta$ is P-chaotic then so is this system, where a continuous map $Theta$ from a compact metric space $Z$ to itse...

The aim of this paper is to study the high order difference scheme for the solution of a fractional partial differential equation (PDE) in the electroanalytical chemistry. The space fractional derivative is described in the Riemann-Liouville sense. In the proposed scheme we discretize the space derivative with a fourth-order compact scheme and use the Grunwald- Letnikov discretization of the Ri...

The purpose of this study was to compare muscle force contributions ankle joint compression and anteroposterior shear forces between people with chronic instability (CAI) healthy controls (CON) during an unanticipated cutting task. Eleven CAI 11 CON performed task as three-dimensional motion capture, ground reaction (GRF), activation data were collected. A musculoskeletal modeling used calculat...

The Gibbs random field (GRF) has been proved to be a simple and practical way of parameterizing the Markov random field (MRF) which has been widely used to model an image or image related process in many image processing applications. In particular, Gibbs random field can be employed to construct an efficient Bayesian estimation that often yields optimal results. In this paper, we describe how ...

The effect of intravenous infusion of acetate, propionate and butyrate (0, 3, 10, 30 μmol kg-' min-1 over 40 min) on the secretion of growth hormone (GH), insulin and glucagon in response to growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF) injection (0.25 μg/kg, 10 min after the onset of acid infusion) was determined in six sheep. The intravenous injection of GRF caused a marked increase in plasma GH at e...
