The University of Mary Wrestling Anaerobic Performance Test: A New Wrestling-Specific Protocol

The present work describes an exchange of experiences among students of the State School CIEP 291 - Dom Martinho Schlude in the City of Pinheiral, RJ, with the Advertising and Propaganda students, Information Systems and Engineering of the University Center of Volta Redonda (UniFOA) during a period of six months. The partnership arose due to a school´s need to develop some actions to participate in the Jaguar Land Rover Competition, 4x4 in Schools Technology Challenge. The challenge required technological changes in a prototype of a 4x4 vehicle approximately 20 cm long, 10 cm wide and 10 cm high. A micro-enterprise was create, with a logo and marketing actions, approaching an entrepreneurial vision. All actions taken were on display on a given day through verbal presentations and visualization of the team's booth. In addition to fulfill these needs, each team were evaluate on the performance test of the prototype in an obstacle course to take time. A partnership with UniFOA was created to assist in project development and support in the area of technology, strategy and marketing. Companhia Siderúrgica Nacional (CSN) led the industry's support in research and development for strategic planning for the team's actions. The students of the courses of Design, Information Systems, Advertising and Propaganda and Electrical and Mechanical Engineering assigned two hours a week for approximately six months to a technical monitoring involving the needs of the Team. In the end, the secondary students were able to elaborate all the necessary requirements according to the regulation participating in the National Stage and later of the World Stage. The UniFOA students were able to apply the concepts using Project Based Learning as a methodology fulfilling the role of the university in the society that is to produce knowledge, generate critical thinking, organize and articulate knowledge, forming citizens and professionals. The experience was very enriching providing for all involved strengthening of numerous cognitive and socio emotional skills. As a result of the project, the AUTO291 team was the champion in the National Stage, conquering the opportunity to represent the country in the world event, being the champion team in the category of "Best Media Dissemination" and was among the top three in the "in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates..

Daily Gain

Data from two record of performance test stations (ROP) were used to compare selected traits of polled and horned bulls. The University of Saskatchewan (SASK) ROP test station provided data on 578 Charolais (CH) and 375 Hereford (HE) bulls from 1985 to 1992, while the Alberta (ALTA) Hereford ROP station provided data on 1485 HE bulls from 1985 to 1993. Polled and horned CH bulls from SASK showed similar (P > 0.05) on-test average daily gain (ADG), while polled HE bulls from SASK showed significantly higher (P < 0.03) ADG than their horned counterparts (1.41 ± 0.01 and 1.36 ± 0.02, respectively). Polled CH bulls were 11.4% fatter than horned bulls at the end of the test (P < 0.01). No significant differences in ADG, weight per day of age (WPDA) or scrotal circumference (SC) were observed between polled and homed HE bulls in ALTA. These results show no disadvantage for polled bulls compared to horned for ADG, WPDA, adjusted SC and adjusted yearling weight. From a welfare perspective, it may be advantageous to use polled bulls to circumvent the need for dehorning. Key words: Polled horned bulls ADG test station

The Individual

Aim. The purpose of the study is to determine the morphological features and anaerobic performance of young football players. Materials and methods. 20 young football players aged 12–13 years were examined. The anaerobic performance test was carried out on a Monark 891E hand ergometer (Sweden). Physical and technical preparedness was assessed with the following pedagogical tests: the 15 m standing and crouch start running test, standing long jump, vertical jump, 30-second running, 3×10 m 3×10 m shuttle run. Hip circumference as a morphological basis of anaerobic performance of the legs was evaluated by using a measuring tape. Body length and weight were measured by standard anthropometric methods. Results. The young football players have a significant heterochrony of morphological development, which is expressed in a significant dispersion of the parameters of body weight and length. At the same time, neither actual age nor training loads are the determining factors for the demonstrated strength, but the level of morphological development (i.e. biological age), as evidenced by the correlations between the hip circumference and absolute peak power (r = 0.75, at p = 0.0001). There are no similar correlations with age (both in years and in days). Technical tests, such as basketball dribbling, basketball ball handling drill, and shuttle running with the ball, as well as basketball obstacle course did not have statistically significant differences between more or less physically developed athletes. Conclusion. The approach to differentiation of athletes according to the development of speed-strength qualities based on morphofunctional data can be used in coaching practice when working with young athletes aged 12–13 years. This will allow coaches to plan training sessions aimed not at balancing differences, but at improving the training process taking into account the individual characteristics of an athlete.

This study aims to realize the manufacturing of a prototype design of a pico-hydro power plant, which is expected to be a science of study and a reference for students at the University of Singaperbangsa Karawang in particular and Indonesian students in general, as well as monitoring the performance test of the prototype of pico-hydro power plant that is used as an electricity needs for lighting. The design and manufacture of this prototype require several supporting components: a). Pressure gauge; b). Pelton type turbines; c). Tacho Meter; d). Single-phase Ac generator; e). Avometer; f). Energy saving LED lamp. Pico-hydro power plant prototype testing is carried out by measuring the voltage generated by the generator, tested at no load and given a load using variations of 55%, 70%, 85%, 100% valve openings. Based on the results of the performance test, the pico-hydro power plant can work well. That matter can be seen from the largest flow valve opening which results in a high water flow rate, so that it can rotate the turbine quickly. The flow rate greatly affects the generator rotation. No-load test results, the largest voltage of 90 volts is obtained when using 100% valve opening, with the output producing an air flow of 0.0017 m3 / s, rotation (N1) 136 rpm, rotation (N2) 979 rpm. The results with the load, the largest voltage of 60 volts is obtained when using 100% valve openings, with the output producing rotation (N1) 133 rpm, rotation (N2) 957 rpm, and current 0.13 A when supplying the 4 LED lamps type of 3 watts with litting up brightly.

High Skill

The Values Education Program identifies human dignity as the “supreme” and all-embracing value. As a spiritual being, man must cultivate a sense of spirituality in consonance with nature and respond to God in faith. As an intellectual being, man must constantly search for truth. As a moral being, man must cultivate sense of social responsibility in pursuit of the welfare of the family and the good of larger community to achieve economic efficiency. This study aimed to determine the values orientation and performance of the students of the Two-Year Technical Course specialized in Electrical Technology in the University of Northern Philippines and the Ilocos Sur Polytechnic State College, Philippines. The study made use of descriptive-normative method of research. The values orientations of the students were determined through questionnaires, while their performance was based on their skill performance test in building wiring installation. As a whole, UNP and ISPSC students had “satisfactory” level in values orientation. The respondents possess a “Very High” skill performance. Their performance was significantly influenced by their values orientation. The Office of Student Affairs (OSA) of UNP and ISPSC should conduct more lecture series in Values Education and should encourage greater students participation in religious activities to put up with higher level of values orientation.

AbstractSki mountaineering (skimo) has recently gained popularity and established itself as a competition sport. It requires a specific training with a high hypoxic load. Although a variety of sport specific performance test protocols have been developed, a specific method for ski mountaineering (skimo) is pending. After the development of a sport specific ergometric protocol with recreational athletes in pre-tests a standard sport specific protocol was defined, concerning treadmill speed, slope and step test variables. This protocol was evaluated for its effectivity with members of the German national skimo team (6 male, 2 female). All athletes performed two spiroergometry test protocols, a standard bike test profile followed by sport specific spiroergometry. This skimo-specific test involved an incremental step test with skis on a treadmill, using a standard incline of 20° with an stepwise speed increase. Spiroergometry and blood lactate (BL) data were recorded and the first and second ventilatory thresholds (VT1 and VT2) were determined. All athletes could complete the test without any technical problems and reached cardiopulmonary exhaustion. The mean test break off BL was 9.98 ± 2.0 mmol/L for the bike test, and 9.28 ± 2.3 mmol/L for the skimo test. The heart rate at VT1 as a percentage of the maximum heart rate did not differ significantly between protocols. Heart rates at VT2 did not significantly differ between both protocols, but varied in both directions. In three athletes, VO2max was higher in the skimo tests than in the bike tests, while the remaining five athletes exhibited the opposite situation. VO2max did not differ significantly between skimo and bike tests (p = 0.35), but it varied in both directions. Motion analysis revealed motoric deficits in two cases. The study indicates that skimo and bike tests are not fully comparable. The skimo and bike test results vary with respect to the majority of test parameters and statistical findings, nevertheless these findings were not statistically significant. These differences were furthermore found to be inconsistent, which is the most valuable finding of the study. It can thus be concluded that a sport specific test is important for both optimal exercise testing and the development of training recommendations for skimo athletes.
