Physiological Characteristics of Projected Starters and Non-Starters in the Field Positions from a Division I Women's Soccer Team.

NCAA soccer features different substitution rules compared to FIFA-sanctioned matches, with a greater availability of players who can enter the game. This could influence the physiological characteristics of the field position starters (ST) and non-starters (NST) within a collegiate women's team, which has not been previously analyzed. Thus, 22 field players from the same Division I women's soccer squad completed: vertical and standing broad jumps; 30-meter (m) sprint (0-5, 0-10, 0-30 m intervals); pro-agility and 60-yard shuttle; and the Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 1.

Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 2 and Its Relationship With Other Typical Soccer Field Tests in Female Collegiate Soccer Players.

The ability to complete high-intensity running is essential for soccer. The Yo-Yo Intermittent Recovery Test Level 2 (YYIRT2) can measure this capacity, but there is limited information regarding this assessment in collegiate female soccer players. This study investigated the YYIRT2 as a measure of high-intensity running in this population, and its relationship to other soccer field tests.

Intrauterine administration of hCG immediately after oocyte retrieval and the outcome of ICSI: a randomized controlled trial.

Study Question: Does the intrauterine administration of hCG immediately after oocyte retrieval in antagonist cycles with ICSI and fresh embryo transfer (ET) influence the implantation rate or chemical and clinical pregnancy rates?

Summary Answer: The intrauterine administration of hCG after oocyte retrieval increases the implantation rate and chemical and clinical pregnancy rates.

What Is Known Already: Over half of IVF/ICSI cycles fail due to implantation failure. Intrauterine administration of hCG, a few minutes before ET, increased the implantation and pregnancy rates in most but not in all studies.

The Physical and Athletic Performance Characteristics of Division I Collegiate Female Soccer Players by Position.

Lockie, RG, Moreno, MR, Lazar, A, Orjalo, AJ, Giuliano, DV, Risso, FG, Davis, DL, Crelling, JB, Lockwood, JR, and Jalilvand, F. The physical and athletic performance characteristics of Division I collegiate female soccer players by position.

Interaction Between Leg Muscle Performance and Sprint Acceleration Kinematics.

This study investigated relationships between 10 m sprint acceleration, step kinematics (step length and frequency, contact and flight time), and leg muscle performance (power, stiffness, strength). Twenty-eight field sport athletes completed 10 m sprints that were timed and filmed. Velocity and step kinematics were measured for the 0-5, 5-10, and 0-10 m intervals to assess acceleration.

Certain Actions from the Functional Movement Screen Do Not Provide an Indication of Dynamic Stability.

Dynamic stability is an essential physical component for team sport athletes. Certain Functional Movement Screen (FMS) exercises (deep squat; left- and right-leg hurdle step; left- and right-leg in-line lunge [ILL]; left- and right-leg active straight-leg raise; and trunk stability push-up [TSPU]) have been suggested as providing an indication of dynamic stability. No research has investigated relationships between these screens and an established test of dynamic stability such as the modified Star Excursion Balance Test (mSEBT), which measures lower-limb reach distance in posteromedial, medial, and anteromedial directions, in team sport athletes.

Effect of Different Sprint Training Methods on Sprint Performance Over Various Distances: A Brief Review.

Linear sprinting speed is an essential physical quality for many athletes. There are a number of different training modalities that can be used to improve sprint performance. Strength and conditioning coaches must select the most appropriate modalities for their athletes, taking into consideration the sprint distances that typically occur during competition.

We studied 198 women with preeclampsia including 128 women with mild and 70 women with severe forms and 101 healthy pregnant women with uncomplicated pregnancy. Among cases there were 23 women with early onset preeclampsia and 175 cases with late-onset preeclampsia.

Adsorptive immobilization of erythrocyte membrane.

Immobilization of human erythrocyte membrane was carried out by adsorption on Fractosil, a porous form of silica. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) was chosen as a representative membrane enzyme in this study. Dependency of adsorption on membrane concentration was determined.

Deficient lipid-protein interaction in mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase from newborn and old rat brain.

In contrast to the mature brain, Arrhenius plots of mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase from newborn and old rat brain show no breaks (transition temperature); the apparent activation energy of the enzyme, in the physiological range of temperature, is also significantly higher. The results indicate deficient lipid-protein interaction as well as differential fluidity status in the inner mitochondrial membranes of the newborn and aged brain. These changes may contribute to the known deficiency in oxygen consumption of the newborn and old brain.
