Baker & Newton (2004) postulate that balance between the agonist and antagonist muscle groups is essential for improving performance and injury prevention purposes. Negrete et al. (2013) examined the upper body push and pull strength ratio in 180 recreationally active males and females adults using timed push-ups and timed modified pull-ups. The test protocols consisted of 3 maximal sets of 15 seconds for both push-ups and modified pull-ups. The average of the 3 maximal sets was calculated and the

Would you dedicate over 40 hours a week to something without getting paid? Well, there are many people and even sports fans alike that believe college athletes do not deserve to be paid; but they do not realize everything they are going through. These kids are not only athletes but students as well. They not only dedicate over 40 hours a week to their sport, they have to maintain their grades and attend all of their classes. They must work harder to get all of their work done and reach their goals

basically “a surface of which one end or side is at a higher level than another; a rising or falling surface.” After a roller coaster climbs up the first big hill using a lift or cable to get to the top, the way down is controlled by gravity, or “a force of attraction between masses.” Then, the stored energy is released as kinetic energy, which is “the mechanical energy that something has while being in motion,” this will get the rollercoaster up the next hill. As the cart travels up and down the rest

Last year on Christmas Eve my co-worker brought his 7-year-old son into the office for the half day. H came with a sack full of dinosaurs and drew me a picture of a T-Rex (which still hangs on my cubby wall). This year H came with his Star Wars coloring pens and I now have R2D2 hanging next to Rex. H and his dad chided me for not knowing who all the latest Star Wars characters are and all the hype around the Christmas release of Rogue 1. So I dug up the flash drive another co-worker gave me last

Roller coaster works by the change of potential energy to kinetic energy. This is what drives the roller coaster. All of the kinetic energy you need for the roller coaster ride is there once the coaster goes down the first hill. The size of the first hill determines the speed of the rest of the ride. This works as almost a gravitational pull. Almost all roller coasters are moved by gravity and momentum of the ride going up and down the hills. Once you're going, different types of wheels help keep

in speed and so does the amount of energy that it has. Now that I have explained a little of what mass is, let’s go back and talk about the falling of an object and what causes it. Gravity also has to do with the falling of an object. Gravity is a force pulling together all

Maintaining the balance between the force protection operations in regard of the implementation of warfghting functions into the rear area operations actions will be affected due to the changes of political decisions and evolving nature of the operational environment. It may sounds easy and executable on first sight and leaves such an impression, but rear area operations have as big burden and value as the close and deep area operations. Rear area operations provide security for personnel, material

Philosophy of Stress The purpose of this paper is to discuss the concept of stress by evaluating it through the lenses of logical positivism and process organism. Stress will be defined in the context of each perspective. A leading perspective will then be determined and its selection justified. Definition of the Concept within the Two Perspectives Logical Positivism One of the key assumptions logical positivism makes is the theory of verifiability (Godfrey-Smith, 2003). Thus, through this

Does stress have a greater effect on Law Enforcement Officers than other professions I think yes. I will argue why and how Law Enforcement Officers are affected more by stress than others in different professions. There really is no surprise that Law Enforcement is a stressful profession. Officers and Deputies put their lives on the line daily to keep people safe. These individuals are exposed to many different situations that need physical and mental abilities to be able to perform the job effectively
