Background and Objectives: Given the limited number of studies on Ramadan fasting and military performance, we conducted this study to identify the effect of Ramadan fasting on physical fitness performances in army cadets. Methods: Twenty healthy males were randomly selected from a larger sample group. The subjects were divided into fasting (n=10) and non-fasting (n=10) groups. They performed v...

Abstract In this paper, we give an a posteriori error estimates with constitutive law for some obstacle problem. The error estimator involves some parameter ε appeared in some penalized equation.

The aim of a soccer game is to score more goals than the opponent does. The chances of doing so increase when all the own players are continuously present on the field. In the RoboCup Standard Platform League (SPL), the only reasons for players not to participate in a game are that they either have been penalized or they have not been ready for the match in the first place. This paper presents ...

A posteriori error estimates for the obstacle problem are established in the framework of the hypercircle method. To this end, we provide a general theorem of Prager– Synge type. There is now no generic constant in the main term of the estimate. Moreover, the role of edge terms is elucidated, and the analysis also applies to other types of a posteriori error estimators for obstacle problems.

This study was performed to test the hypothesis that reducing the horizontal distance between the trailing foot (foot crossing the obstacle last) and obstacle, during stance just prior to stepping over the obstacle, would reduce flexion of the hip, knee, and ankle joints of the trailing limb when the toe is over the obstacle to reduce the vertical toe-obstacle clearance and increase the risk of...
