This study measured muscular strength and perceived exertion of active men, 25 to 64 years old. The subjects were 80 members of a large YMCA, with 20 active men chosen from each of the following age groups: 25-34, 35-44, 45-54,and 55-64. Measurement of strength consisted of assessing the maximum weight...
In the field of physical education and athletics the ever-rising
operating costs of quality programs had forced all small colleges to
seek new sources of funds. The financial problems in supporting
physical education and athletics were related to the overall
financial problems of these institutions.
With the need for additional...
This study was based upon the Multidimensional Model
of Leadership (Chelladurai, 1978, 1990), and the administration
of the Leadership Scale for Sport (LSS) and the
Sport Orientation Questionnaire (SOQ) (Gill and Deeter,
1988). The purposes of the study were: 1) To determine
the competitive achievement orientations (competitiveness,
goal and win)...
The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of false positive and
false negative feedback upon the self-efficacy and performance of high and low
self-esteem experienced weight lifters. Among a group of volunteers, 65 experienced
male weight lifters were classified as either high or low self-esteem
following administration...
Two separate studies on the distribution of gammarid amphipods in the bathyal and abyssal benthic environments demonstrated that different assemblages could be found at a single depth over distances on the order of 100 kilometers. These studies evaluated changes in the species composition and relative abundance of the amphipod assemblage...
Mounting inflationary economic pressures and the obvious spiralling costs of education, at all levels, has drastically augmented public, administrative, and government concern regarding the effectiveness of many educational training programs. Secretarial Science, which is designed to provide occupational-level training represents such a program. Therefore, this study was conducted in order...
Vacuum ultraviolet absorption spectra of 13 model sugar compounds
were measured in the energy range of 50 to 80 kK. The model
sugars included three simple alcohols, four simple ethers, four cyclic
alcohol-ether compounds, and two dioxanes. All spectra show
transition bands in the energy region 50 to 65 kK....
Many animals detect prey or enhance their locomotion with information from hair-like receptors that are activated by local fluid flows. The utility of biological hair receptors has motivated the design of artificial hair sensors (AHS) for flow control applications where aerodynamic or hydrodynamic forces play a significant role in the...
Water availability is a critical limiting element in semi-arid ecosystem productivity and presents particular challenges in Sahelian countries such as Senegal. The landscapes are characterized by the presence of two common semi-arid shrubs (Piliostigma reticulatum and Guiera senegalensis), both of which may be important hydraulic regulators in these water-limited ecosystems....
