The aim of this study was to assess elite women's basketball game performance. Five games (3 Italian first division and 2 Euroleague) were analyzed for individual team time-motion analyses. analysis evaluated the players' movement patterns with particular focus on high-intensity activity (HIA), sprint activity, repeated events (RSEs). Team included live time (LT), stoppage (ST), their ratio, transfer (TR) phases, half court full actions. frequency occurrence changes activities n = 576 ± 110,...

This study aimed to analyse the effects of two factors (number players and training regimes) on players' physiological technical demands in basketball ball-drills. Twenty-one young performed four different ball-drills (two levels for each factor). The number involved was 2vs2 4vs4, while ball-drill regimes were continuous intermittent. Physiological demand assessed using percentage maximal heart rate (%HRmax), Edwards' load rating perceived exertion (RPE). Furthermore, following actions...

Sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+ release channel function is modified by ligands (Mg2+, Ca2+, ATP, and H+) that are generated during a bout of exercise. We have examined the effects changing intracellular metabolites on release, [3H]ryanodine binding, single-Ca2+ activity SR isolated from white rabbit skeletal muscle. Increasing Mg2+ (from 0 to 4 mM) decreasing pH (7.1-6.5) inhibited [3H]-ryanodine binding. In addition, increasing lactate concentrations 2 20 mM binding vesicles, decreased...

Purpose: To quantify the locomotor demands of college female soccer matches and compare relative proportion distances in specified velocity bands between players completing an entire half with substitutes. Methods: College (n = 113) were assessed during a regular-season match using global positioning system technology. An ANCOVA was used to characteristics for positions substitutes, adjusting duration played. Paired t tests compared substituted out back into second half. Results: Defenders...

This study assessed the physiological and technical demands of no dribble game drill (NDGD) in comparison with a regular (RD). Twenty-three young basketball players performed RDs NDGDs random order. All rules were followed for RDs, whereas dribbling was not permitted NDGDs. The independent variable condition, dependent variables percentage maximal heart rate (%HRmax), perceived exertion (RPE), Edwards training load (TL), following actions (TAs): pass (total, correct, wrong, percent correct...

Utilizing of artificial intelligence tools offers a promising new technology to support student learning. This article outlines several ways that students can employ these better learning along with set guidelines for all be wary when implementing in an academic setting.

The thiol-oxidizing reagent, thimerosal, has been shown to increase the intracellular Ca2+ concentration, induce spikes in several cell types, and sensitivity of stores inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. Ryanodine-sensitive have also implicated generation oscillations induced by addition thimerosal. Here we report that micromolar concentrations thimerosal stimulate release from skeletal muscle sarcoplasmic reticulum vesicles, inhibit high affinity [3H]ryanodine binding, modify channel activity...

Physiol. 84(2): 425–430, 1998.—Hypochlorous (HOCl) is produced by polymorphonuclear leukocytes that migrate adhere to endothelial cells as part of the inflammatory response tissue injury. HOCl an extremely toxic oxidant can react with a variety cellular components, concentrations reaching 200 μM have been reported in some...

This article describes the implementation of alternative grading (AG) strategies in an upper-division Kinesiology and Functional Human Anatomy course. Traditional point-based systems can negatively impact student mental health, decrease intrinsic motivation, hinder learning. To address these issues, a proficiency-based approach was adopted, emphasizing clearly defined standards, growth-oriented feedback, progress-indicating marks, penalty-free reassessment opportunities. Course assessments...

Traditional review sessions are intended to help students learn and prepare for upcoming exams. Most passive question answer that look backward at content deficits rather than advancing student learning. By incorporating active cooperative learning approaches during a session, able recognize critical concepts better physiological problem solving. Active prioritize the knowledge develop thinking skills will be required of them on exam.

Traditional exam review sessions, typically conducted orally and in class by the instructor, are intended to identify most frequently missed or problematic question with intent of helping students perform better on subsequent exams. The shortcoming this instructor-led activity is that it tends focus issues content understanding rather than individual student prevent avoid similar mistakes future Here, we report who performed a more comprehensive out-of-class debrief after first significantly...
