It has previously been shown that male gymnasts using the "scooped" giant circling technique were able to flatten the path followed by their mass center, resulting in a larger margin for error when releasing the high bar (Hiley and Yeadon, 2003a). The circling technique prior to performing double layout somersault dismounts from the asymmetric bars in women's artistic gymnastics appears to be s...

Although there is an emerging body of research that has examined perfectionistic clusters in the general population, few studies have explored such profiles in athlete samples. The purposes of this research were to explore perfectionistic profiles within a sample of elite athletes and the differences between them on key motivational variables. A sample of 423 elite athletes (179 males, 244 fema...

To pronounce the name ‘Lesgaft’ in Western educational circles is likely to evoke puzzled cries of ‘Les who?’. While Ling and Nachtegall, Jahn and Tyrs have received world-wide recognition for their contributions to the development of physical education and schools of gymnastics, Lesgaft’s glory is mostly unsung outside his native Russia.1 Many Western publications have tended either to underes...

Human movement science is searching for ways to capture global dynamics of our complex multi-segment system. The aim of this study was to explore differences in a limit cycle representation of longswings on high bar as a function of skill level. One elite international, one collegiate, and one novice gymnast performed four consecutive longswings on high bar. Through the novel representation of ...

This review analyses recent structural results that provide clues about a possible molecular mechanism for the transmission of a fusogenic signal among the envelope glycoproteins of the herpes simplex virus on receptor binding by glycoprotein gD. This signal triggers the membrane-fusion machinery of the virus--contained in glycoproteins gB, gH and gL--to induce the merging of viral and cellular...

The center chosen for this survey is in one of the poorest sections of the city. The homes of most of the children are crowded closely between warehouses, factories, and railroad sidings. The narrow cobble streets always seem to be crowded with heavy trucks, shifting freight cars, and children. A railroad siding just behind the school building is quite a favorite haunt outside of school hours, ...

Frequent and turbulent political changes during this period also caused some changes in cultural and educational life of the country.
