Functional strength training may increase speed for runners who are slower to start with. For runners with a starting half-mile time of 300 seconds, adding the training had an average effect of increasing speed by 8.4 seconds. But for runners with a starting time of 180 seconds, the change was not statistically significant. However, the training protocols in this study were not well-defined, so...

This case study examines this training program by asking: How does cultural capital interact with the instructional design process, as defined by Young's. the processes of instructional design, development, and evaluation. defined instructional design as “the entire process of analysis. 1In addition. Explain the process of evaluation and its role within instructional design. evaluation is exami...

Simulation-based learning has gained recent recognition as a means of improving patient safety. In situ simulation, that is conducting simulation training in actual clinical environment, is a novel approach to detecting deficiencies in healthcare systems, termed as latent safety threats (LSTs). We implemented in situ simulation training as a quality improvement initiative and were able to detec...

Aaron Orkin and colleague describe their collaboration that developed, delivered, and studied a community-based first response training program in a remote indigenous community in northern Canada.

In this paper, we investigate the practical applicability of Co-Training for the task of building a classifier for reference resolution. We are concerned with the question if Co-Training can significantly reduce the amount of manual labeling work and still produce a classifier with an acceptable performance.

PURPOSE The aim of the study was to longitudinally assess speed and jump performance characteristics of youth football players over a 3 y period. METHODS Two hundred players across five age squads (U12-U16) from an English Football League academy participated. Sprint performance (10 and 30 m) and countermovement jump height were assessed at 6 mo intervals. Pairwise analyses determined the lev...

This study assessed the effects of an aerobic training program on reaction time tasks that manipulated preparatory intervals (PI) to produce temporal preparation effects using short (1, 3, 5 s) and long (5, 7, 9 s) PI. Older adults were assigned to either a 3-month aerobic training group or to a control group. Individuals in the training group participated in an aerobic training program of thre...
