Objective: To determine the effectiveness of moderate pre-exercise warm-up, static stretching, or a combination of both on muscular force production and hamstring extensibility of the lower extremity. Design and Setting: This experiment was a counterbalanced repeated measures design of four treatment conditions. Subjects participated in warm-up, static stretching, combined warm-up...
The purpose of this study was to characterize glenohumeral joint laxity and
stiffness using instrumented arthrometry. To evaluate the validity of an instrumented
measurement system we compared cutaneous and bone-pinned measures of laxity and
stiffness that replicate previously reported in vivo methodology. Characterization of
capsular laxity was achieved through determination...
Concentrations of selenium (Se), manganese (Mn), zinc (Zn), cadmium (Cd), lead (Pb) and arsenic (As) were measured in the water column, sediment and biota, in conjunction with selected physicochemical data, from representative wetland types at a mining site within Salt Lake County, Utah, USA. The selected field sites included Oolitic...
Within A rtemisia tridentata ssp. wyomingensis Nutt. (Wyoming big sagebrush)
communities of the Great Basin, lands dominated by the exotic annual grass Bromus
tectorum L. (cheatgrass) are increasing at an alarming rate. Carbon applications, which
reduce plant-available soil N, have been suggested as a way to give native vegetation a...
