Workshop: Sweat Rate Measurement in Athletes
(Proceedings of the XXXI FIMS Sports Medicine World Congress, Medimond International Proceedings, 2010-10)
Both laboratory and field tests for measuring sweat rate in athletes have been performed more and more often this past decade. This workshop gave the attendants a hands-on opportunity to test two volunteers who exercised ...
Self-reported versus performance-based measures of physical function: prognostic value for survival
(2014)
Background: Although previous studies have indicated that performance assessments strongly predict future survival, few have evaluated the incremental value in the presence of controls for self-reported activity and mobility ...
Evaluation of four vertical jump tests: methodology, reliability, validity, and accuracy (postprint)
(2000)
Vertical jump performance tests can give considerably different results, even when different methods are used to analyze a single jump trial. To evaluate and compare four different methods commonly used to measure vertical ...
Acute Effects of Exercise on Blood Pressure: A Meta-Analytic Investigation
(2015)
Hypertension affects 25% of the world’s population and is considered a risk factor for cardiovascular disorders and other diseases. The aim of this study was to examine the evidence regarding the acute effect of exercise ...
Analyzing the Measurement Equivalence of a Translated Test in a Statewide Assessment Program
(2016-09)
When tests are translated into one or more languages, the question of the equivalence of
items across language forms arises. This equivalence can be assessed at the scale level by means of
a multiple group confirmatory ...
Using Non-Traditional Interfaces to Support Physical Therapy for Knee Strengthening
(2016)
Physical therapy consists mainly in the execution of
rehabilitation processes that aim to help overcome injuries, as
well as develop, maintain, or restore maximum body movement.
Knee rehabilitation is one kind of physical ...
Evaluation of Four Vertical Jump Tests: Methodology, Reliability, Validity, and Accuracy

Relationship between sleep duration affects cognitive function in adolescents
(2016)
Sleep time may interfere with the ability to perform tasks requiring memory, organization and reasoning. A lack of sleep has been related to cognitive deficits; however, few studies had demonstrated an association between ...
Function Point Structure and Applicability: A Replicated Study
(2016)
The complexity of providing accurate functional software size and effort prediction models is well known in the software industry. Function point analysis (FPA) is currently one of the most accepted software functional ...
