BACKGROUND In certain diseases, functional constraints establish a greater relationship with muscle power than muscle strength. However, in hereditary peripheral polyneuropathies, no such relationship was found in the literature. OBJECTIVE In children with Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT), to identify the impact of muscle strength and range of movement on the static/dynamic balance and standing long...

In this paper we deal with the asymptotic distribution of the maximum increment of a random walk with a regularly varying jump size distribution. This problem is motivated by a long-standing problem on change point detection for epidemic alternatives. It turns out that the limit distribution of the maximum increment of the random walk is one of the classical extreme value distributions, the Fré...

PURPOSE The number of familiarization sessions in fitness assessments seems to be critical and inconsistent. Therefore, the primary aim of this research was to determine the number of familiarization attempts that stabilize the results in particular physical fitness tests. The secondary aim was to establish the test reliability through familiarization sessions. METHODS Thirty-nine primary sch...

Motor fitness is seen as a prerequisite for efficient physical functioning of the body and contributes to an active lifestyle. The aim research was use 4 motor tests (standing long jump; sit-up test; 4x10 m shuttle run; Leger test /Beep test/) (1) assess level in comparison with UNIFITTEST, (2) significance difference performance between sexes, (3) current status mean values height (BH) weight ...

Foot arch is important for force transfer and shock absorption in impact sports. The purposes of this study were to measure the height of foot arch in static standing and dynamic activities, and to compare the difference of foot arch between level walking, vertical jump and sprint start. Twenty-three healthy subjects were recruited in this study. Significant differences between non-weight beari...
