Doing peer review and receiving feedback: impact on scientific literacy and writing skills.

Doing peer review has been effectively implemented to help students develop critical reading and writing skills; however, its application in Human Physiology programs is limited. The purpose of the present study was to determine the impact of peer review on Human Physiology majors' perceptions of their scientific literacy and writing skills. Students enrolled in the Scientific Writing course completed multiple writing assignments, including three revisions after receiving peer and instructor feedback.

Physical and performance differences among forwards, defensemen, and goalies in elite women's ice hockey.

Growth in peak aerobic power during adolescence.

Purpose: To model the growth of peak aerobic power during adolescence in both sexes followed longitudinally from 10 to 18 yr.

Methods: Peak aerobic power (peak VO2) was measured annually during a maximal treadmill test with the Bruce protocol. Height and weight were measured semiannually.

Adolescent spurts in body dimensions: Average and modal sequences.

The sequence of growth spurts in 11 body dimensions was examined in 101 Polish adolescents, 52 males and 49 females, followed longitudinally from 11-18 years. The dimensions included weight; stature; symphyseal height; biacromial and bicristal breadths; and arm, forearm, chest, thigh and calf circumferences. Upper segment length was estimated as stature minus symphyseal height.
