Foot and ankle injuries are common in many sports. One of the main athletes issues is time for sport resumption after trauma. Recently, extensive efforts have been made to speed up athletes’ return-to-sport prevent joint degeneration. Among conservative treatment options, biophysical stimulation with pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) listed. This narrative review aims outline current applic...

Physical activity is associated with access to recreational facilities such as sports fields. Because it is not clear whether objectively- or subjectively-assessed access to facilities exerts a stronger influence on physical activity, we investigated the association between the objective and perceived accessibility of sport fields and the levels of self-reported physical activity among adults i...

Weed control (Irshad Ahmad et al 2007) has a major effect on agriculture. A large amount of herbicide has been used for controlling weeds in agriculture fields, lawns, golf courses, sport fields etc. Random spraying of herbicides does not meet the exact requirement of the field. Certain areas in field have more weed patches than estimated. So, the visual system that can discriminate weeds from ...

This paper presents results of a study to characterise wireless point-to-point channel for wireless sensor networks applications in sport hard court arenas, grass fields and on roads. Antenna height and orientation effects on coverage are also studied and results show that for omni-directional patch antenna, node range is reduced by a factor of 2 when the antenna orientation is changed from ver...

The implementation of truly wearable, instrumented garments which are capable of recording biomechanical variables is crucial in several fields of application, from multimedia to rehabilitation, from sport to artistic fields. In this paper we discuss wearable devices (a smart shirt, a leotard and a glove) which can read and record the vital signs and movements of a subject wearing the system. T...

Cultural sport psychology (CSP) focuses on the interplay between culture and sport, which often discuss marginalised topics or sports practice in a specific population.
