The Relationship Between the Burpee Movement Program and Strength and Endurance Performance Measures in Active Young Adults: A Cross-Sectional Analysis.

Objectives: This paper aimed to assess the motor performance in the Burpee Movement Program through the acceleration recorded by the Phyphox mobile app and define its relationship to strength and endurance parameters.

Methods: Altogether, 15 students in physical education teaching completed the 3 × 3 min Burpee Movement Program, consisting of the repeated execution of a single burpee with maximum effort at regular intervals triggered by a sound signal. During the load phase, the intensity of the burpee and the fatigue index expressed in percentages were evaluated by means of the acceleration recorded through a mobile phone.

Hierarchically Porous Polyacetylene Networks: Adsorptive Photocatalysts for Efficient Bisphenol A Removal from Water.

In this article, we report a series of functionalized polyacetylene-type networks formed by chain-growth insertion coordination polymerization in high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs). All polymerized HIPEs (polyHIPEs) contain a hierarchically structured, 3D-interconnected porous framework consisting of a micro-, meso- and macropore system, resulting in exceptionally high specific surface areas (up to 1055 m·g) and total porosities of over 95%. The combination of π-conjugated and hierarchically porous structure in one material enabled the use of these polyacetylene polyHIPEs as adsorptive photocatalysts for the removal of chemical contaminants from water.

Complex isomerism influencing the textural properties of organometallic [Cu(salen)] porous polymers: paramagnetic solid-state NMR characterization and heterogeneous catalysis.

Although organometallic porous polymer networks are recognized as promising heterogeneous catalysts, the relationship between ligand/monomer geometry and network parameters is usually not well understood due to the lack of atom-resolved characterization methods for the amorphous network matrix. In this work, a series of copper(II) salen-type metal complexes was synthesized, using - and -1,2-diaminocyclohexane segments, and thoroughly characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and solution- and solid-state NMR spectroscopy. Terminal ethynyl groups of the complexes were then transformed into polyacetylene chains by coordination chain-growth homopolymerization, resulting in highly porous (458-655 m g) organometallic polymer networks with a copper(II) ion content of about 12 wt%.

Basic motor competencies in Slovak children from the 3rd and 4th grade elementary age group.

Background: The development of movement skills is the basic goal of physical and sports education. Their level is a determining factor in the subsequent involvement of the child in physical activities. Goal is to contribute to the knowledge of basic motor competencies (BMC) in the 3rd and 4th grade boys and girls from elementary schools.

Characterization of LaFeO Dielectric Ceramics Produced by Spark Plasma Sintering.

Commercially available LaFeO powder was processed using the spark plasma sintering (SPS) technique. The results of the dielectric measurement showed high permittivity, but this was strongly frequency-dependent and was also accompanied by a high loss tangent. The chemical purity of the powder and changes induced by the SPS process influenced the stability of the dielectric parameters of the bulk compacts.
