abstractmultiple sclerosis (ms) is a chronic disease of central nervous system with destroying the myelin sheath and accompanied by disorder in nervous conduction the purpse of this research was to study the effect of 8 weeks aquatic aerobic training on speed of walking and expanded disability statues scale (edss) in women with multiple sclerosis.this study was a semi-exprimental and applied re...

Changes in contractile speed and force-fusion properties were examined during repetitive isometric contractions with the knee extensors at three different target force levels. Seven healthy subjects were studied at target force levels of 30, 45, and 60% of their maximal voluntary contraction (MVC) force. Repeated 6-s contractions followed by 4-s rest were continued until exhaustion. Contractile...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the influence of the task conditions on 20-m side foot-kick accuracy among Swedish first league women's soccer players. Twenty-three players performed three side foot-kick tests under different task conditions: stationary ball using match-relevant ball speed (SBRS) and maximal ball speed (SBMS) and a 5-m run with the ball from different approach angl...

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the concurrent validity of the Farsi version of Functional Gait Assessment (FGA), Timed Up & Go (TUG), and Gait Speed tests in Persian communitydwelling older adults. Methods: Subjects were 100 males in falling or no falling history group (50 subjects in each group). Subjects were community-dwelling adults aged 60-90 years who were living...

Summay.-The effects of specific versus variable practice on retention and transfer was investigated. 30 participants were randomly assigned to one of three practice conditions. The variable speed group practiced on a pursuit rotor task at three different speeds (60, 45, 30 rpm) which were randomly distributed but equal in number for 30 10-sec. trials on Day 1. The Specific Practice group perfor...

through this article, the distribution of air pollutants in tehran have been simulated based on wind patterns with and without the presence of synoptic by tapm (a meso-scale model). the simulation covers three horizontal resolution domains 30, 15 and 5 kilometers. the pollutants chosen for this are co and pm10 and wind data is 10 meter height level. the result has shown that the model simulated...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between physical function and postural sway during local vibratory stimulation of middle-aged subjects in an upright position. [Subjects] The subjects were 25 healthy community-dwelling middle-aged people. [Methods] We measured postural sway using a Wii board while vibratory stimulations of 30, 60, or 240 Hz were applied to the...
