Six 3 to 4 weeks old, cesarian-derived lambs were inoculated with ovine an adenovirus isolate 475N. Inoculated lambs showed moderate clinical signs of respiratory distress, conjunctivitis, and loose feces during the 10-day observation period. Virus was detected from nasal and conjunctival swabs starting on postinoculation day (PID) 2.
Virus was...
The presence of residual muscular tension has been implicated
as a detrimental influence on the performance and learning of motor
skills. A method for reducing muscular tension has been provided by
the recent advent of biofeedback training. Thirty young adult males
were subjected to tests of stabilometer balancing skill and...
The purpose of this study was to determine the
effect of immediate prior meditation (transcendental
meditation) and relaxation upon the pattern of physiological
response and performance of a fine motor and
gross motor task. A second purpose of this study was
to determine whether the long term regular practice of...
Ankle injuries account for 10-20% of time loss injuries in sports
with almost 85% of these injuries being sprains, the majority of
which occur to the lateral ligamentous complex. With statistics such
as these it becomes important that the Athletic Trainer establish a
method for effective and efficient means to...
Right cerebral hemispheric lateralization for spatial
perception has been reported by using visual and tactile
spatial tasks in brain-damaged patients, split-brain
patients, and normal subjects. The main purpose of the
present study was to investigate whether or not kinesthetic
spatial perception was dominantly processed with the right
cerebral hemisphere as...
With the neuromuscular performance deficit typically associated with aging, the maximum rate of response of the individual is diminished with advancing age. Physical activity has recently been examined as a possible factor delaying the aging process as it relates to neuromuscular performance. This investigation examined folk dancing as a potential...
