OBJECTIVE To investigate the relationship between anthropometrics and sprint and agility performance and describe the development of sprint (acceleration) and agility performance in 10- to 16-year-old male soccer players. METHODS One hundred and thirty-two participants were divided into three age groups, 10-12 years (mean 10.8±0.50), 13-14 years (mean 13.9±0.50), and 15-16 years (mean 15.5±0....

Let Cn be the set of Dyck paths of length n. In this paper, by a new automorphism of ordered trees, we prove that the statistic ‘number of exterior pairs’, introduced by A. Denise and R. Simion, on the set Cn is equidistributed with the statistic ‘number of up steps at height h with h ≡ 0 (mod 3)’. Moreover, for m ≥ 3, we prove that the two statistics ‘number of up steps at height h with h ≡ 0 ...

Human cytochrome P450 1B1 (CYP1B1) plays a critical role in the metabolic activation of a variety of procarcinogens, including 2-amino-1-methyl-6-phenylimidazo[4,5-b]pyridine (PhIP). The existence of human CYP1B1 missense genetic variants has been demonstrated, but their activities in metabolizing PhIP are unknown. In this study, we expressed 15 naturally occurring CYP1B1 variants (with either ...

The height of mechanical mixing layer is one of the parameter of the safety analysis report of any industrial (nuclear) facility due to its relation to the dispersion factor of pollutants. It can provide information about lower atmospheric dispersion, which is usually used to study the pollutants released from nuclear facility, risk analysis and emergency planning. Mixing layer height is diffic...

the purpose of this study was to profiled the body composition, anthropometric and physical fitness qualities of iranian national adolescent volleyball players, and quantified relationships between these characteristics. the sample of this study was 40 national adolescent volleyball players (age: 17.9±0.3). body composition factors: (weight, bmi, whr, body fat percentage, muscle mass) and anthr...

BACKGROUND Age-related hyperkyphosis has been associated with poor physical function and is a well-established predictor of adverse health outcomes in older women, but its impact on health in older men is less well understood. METHODS We conducted a cross-sectional study to evaluate the association of hyperkyphosis and physical function in 2,363 men, aged 71-98 (M = 79) from the Osteoporotic ...
