The aim of the study was to compare the EMG activity performing 6RM competition style bench press (flat bench-wide grip) with 1) medium and narrow grip widths on a flat bench and 1) inclined and declined bench positions with a wide grip. Twelve bench press athletes competing at national and international level participated in the study. EMG activity was measured in the pectoralis major, anterio...

The objective of this study was to verify the effect of active and passive recovery on blood lactate concentration and power performance. Twelve male subjects were submitted to a maximal strength test in the the bench press, a maximal aerobic test in the bench step, and to four sets of bench press exercise performed as fast and as long as possible, using 80% of maximal strength when active or p...

In order to analyze the effect of different factors on bouncing and rolling distance soybeans at time seed throwing, tests discrete element method (DEM) are employed test soil three representative soybean varieties. The parameters between particles calibrated by means a piling simulation. A throwing apparatus is improved effects height, plane inclination angle collision orientation seeds. relat...

PURPOSE To compare the metabolic parameters, flexibility, muscle strength, functional capacity, and lower limb muscle power of elderly women with and without the metabolic syndrome (MetS). METHODS This cross-sectional study included 28 older women divided into two groups: with the MetS (n = 14; 67.3 ± 5.5 years; 67.5 ± 16.7 kg; 1.45 ± 0.35 m; 28.0 ± 7.6 kg/m(2)), and without the MetS (n = 14;...

ABSTRACT The study aimed to evaluate the growth of ornamental cherry tomato plants in different protected environments and reflective materials on cultivation benches. As there were no repetitions environments, each environment was considered an experiment. In environment, experimental design used completely randomized with five replications three per plot. From analysis individual variances ev...

PURPOSE Allometric modeling (AM) has been used to determine the world's strongest body mass-adjusted man. Recently, however, AM was shown to demonstrate body mass bias in elite Olympic weightlifting performance. A second order polynomial (2OP) provided a better fit than AM with no body mass bias for men and women. The purpose of this study was to apply both AM and 2OP models to women's world po...

Many circuit designs need to follow some temporal rules. However, it is hard to express and verify them in the past. Therefore, a temporal assertion extension to Verilog, called Temporal Wizard, is proposed in this paper. It provides several Verilog system tasks for the users to write assertions in testbench directly. Two new concepts, tag and thread, are also introduced so that data can be ass...

The purpose of this investigation was to assess the effectiveness of variable resistance as provided through elastic plus free weight techniques in college aged males and females. Twenty novice lifters were randomly assigned to a traditional free weight only (6 males and 5 females) or elastic band plus free weight group (5 males and 5 females) and 9 more normally active controls (5 males and 4 ...
