Interrupting the processes which control ecosystem resources has dramatic impacts on the rangeland conditions. To protect ecosystems and landscape, it needs to understand the ecosystem processes which regulate the ecosystem resources. As main components of ecosystems, patches and inter-patches play important roles in energy and materials cascade. Ecologically, functional parameters such as stab...

during repetitive tasks (such as running, walking and tapping), music can effect on body movement rhythm. the purpose of this study is investigated the effect of music meter and tempo on cycling speed. therefore, seventeen female physical education students with 22.33±1.22 age, 57.23±10.30 weight, 22.09±3.5 body mass index and 160.55±4.6 height were selected and examined during four sessions (e...

a variety of anthropometric and training characteristics have been identified as predictor variables for race performance in endurance and ultra-endurance athletes. anthropometric characteristics such as skin-fold thicknesses, body fat, circumferences and length of limbs, body mass, body height, and body mass index were bi-variately related to race performance in endurance athletes such as swim...

BACKGROUND Previous research has shown that cycling in a standing position reduces cycling economy compared with seated cycling. It is unknown whether the cycling intensity moderates the reduction in cycling economy while standing. PURPOSE The aim was to determine whether the negative effect of standing on cycling economy would be decreased at a higher intensity. METHODS Ten cyclists cycled...
