conclusions the modified illinois change of direction test must be considered as an asymmetrical test because it underestimates more than half of the players’ agility performances. therefore, fitness coaches should take these results into account when using this test. results the analysis revealed no significant difference in time performance between the two versions of test as a within-subject...

High telomerase expression is a hallmark of most types of cancer, and, therefore, strategies to inhibit telomerase as an anticancer treatment have been pursuit for many years. In contrast to cancer, short telomeres and lack of telomerase are associated with aging and agerelated disease, including heart disease. Consequently, pharmacological telomerase activation can delay aging and also provide...
