The purpose of study was to find out the influences of two combinations of neuromuscular drills and asana practices on agility of basketball players.  To achieve the purpose of the study, thirty basket ball players with the age of 10 to 13 years from Navabisha Montessori School, Velachery, Chennai, Tamilnadu were selected as subject at random. The study was formulated as pre and post test random group design. The selected subject was divided into three equal groups. The group-1 (n=10, NMD-AP) underwent neuromuscular drills combined with asana practices. The group-2 (n=10, AP-NMD) underwent asana practices combined with neuromuscular drills and group 3 served as control group (n=10, CG). In this study, two training programme were adopted as independent variables and the agility was selected as dependent variable. It was tested by T test; scores recorded in seconds. The agility tested before and after the training period. The collected pre and post data was critically analyzed with apt statistical tool of analysis of co-variance (ANCOVA). The Scheffe’s post hoc test was used to find out pair-wise comparisons between groups. The result clearly proved that there was a significant improvement on agility in experimental groups than the control group.

Kebutuhan energi, protein, dan zat besi dapat disumbangkan oleh makanan jajanan masing-masing sekitar 36%, 29%, dan 52%. Namun, makanan jajan yang tersedia disamping tidak selalu sehat dan bergizi juga perilaku sisiwa tidak selalu positif untuk kebutuhan gizi. Tujuan penelitian ini mengetahui pengaruh media visual poster dan leaflet terhadap perilaku makanan jajanan pelajar suatu SMA di Kabupaten Mandailing Natal, Sumatera Utara, 2009. Dengan desain eksperimen kuasi one pre- and post-test group, penelitian dengan perlakuan pajangan poster dan leaflet di sekolah ini menilai pengaruh intervensi 2 minggu setelah perlakuan. Analisis data dilakukan dengan metode uji T-berpasangan terhadap sampel 80 pelajar kelas khusus. Sebelum dan setelah perlakuan, skor rata-rata pengetahuan siswa adalah 1,99 dan 3,00, skor rata-rata sikap adalah 1,80 dan 3,00. Tindakan konsumsi makanan para pelajar juga meningkat sebelum (x=1,76) dan sesudah (x=1,86) intervensi. Terdapat perbedaan yang bermakna antara perilaku konsumsi makanan jajanan pada anak sekolah sebelum dan sesudah intervensi. Dapat disimpulkan bahwa penyuluhan gizi menggunakan media poster dan leaflet mampu meningkatkan perilaku gizi anak sekolah. Disarankan pihak sekolah dan puskesmas menggunakan poster dan leaflet sebagai salah satu media penyuluhan gizi menyampaikan informasi gizi tentang makanan jajanan dan isu kesehatan lain untuk mempromosikan upaya kesehatan sekolah.Kata kunci: Perilaku konsumsi makanan jajanan, poster dan leaflet, pelajar SMAAbstractStreet food plays an important role in students’ nutrition.

An adolescent’s knowledge about premenstrual syndrome handling is still in the minor level since parents have no intention to talk openly and it tends to be a taboo. A peer group education method can be used to give information on adolescent girl about premenstrual syndrome handling in which it can be taught more openly. This study aims at investigating the influence of peer group education toward level of premenstrual syndrome handling’s knowledge of adolescent girl. This study used pre-experimental design with One-Group Pre-Post Test Design. The number of population were 81 adolescent girls from VII grade in which taken by using probability sampling (cluster sampling). The number of sample it self were 66 respondents. The independent variable was peer group education and the dependent variable was level of adolescent premenstrual syndrome handling’s knowledge. The data were collected by using questioner which was used before and after peer group education. The data were processed after gaining the whole data collection and the statisticalWilcoxon sign test were used afterward. The findings revealed that the value of asymp.sig (2 tailed) was 0,000 and α was 0, 05. The value of asymp.sig (2-tailed) <α 0,05, it means that H1 was accepted in which there were influence of peer group education toward level of adolescent premenstrual syndrome handling’s knowledge in VII grade of state SMP 2 Mojoanyar Mojokerto.

Abstract. In a recent paper, Ferrer and Pardo (2014) tested several distribution-based methods designed to assess when test scores obtained before and after an intervention reflect a statistically reliable change. However, we still do not know how these methods perform from the point of view of false negatives. For this purpose, we have simulated change scenarios (different effect sizes in a pre-post-test design) with distributions of different shapes and with different sample sizes. For each simulated scenario, we generated 1,000 samples. In each sample, we recorded the false-negative rate of the five distribution-based methods with the best performance from the point of view of the false positives. Our results have revealed unacceptable rates of false negatives even with effects of very large size, starting from 31.8% in an optimistic scenario (effect size of 2.0 and a normal distribution) to 99.9% in the worst scenario (effect size of 0.2 and a highly skewed distribution). Therefore, our results suggest that the widely used distribution-based methods must be applied with caution in a clinical context, because they need huge effect sizes to detect a true change. However, we made some considerations regarding the effect size and the cut-off points commonly used which allow us to be more precise in our estimates.

In fishes, environmental ion availability can have substantial effects on growth and development. This study examined the development of Lake Sturgeon in response to the varying environmental ion availability that they experience as part of a conservation stocking program. We reared sturgeon in natural water from the Coosa River, which had higher concentrations of Mg2+, Na+, and Zn2+ than standard hatchery conditions, while [Ca2+] at the Warm Springs National Fish Hatchery was 2× higher than in the Coosa River. Eggs were hatched in each water type and the larvae were sampled at time points before and after yolk absorption during the first 8 weeks of development. Total length and weight in WSNFH larvae were significantly higher than larvae in Coosa River water starting at 8 dph, indicating that growth was dependent on the different environmental ion levels. Concentrations of the ions of interest were also determined for whole-body acid digests of the exposed Lake Sturgeon. We found that Lake Sturgeon reared in Coosa River water had significantly higher magnesium and zinc than Lake Sturgeon reared in WSNFH water (p < 0.05), while calcium was significantly higher in WSNFH than Coosa River water. This difference shows that different environmental ion concentrations also impact the overall development of larval Lake Sturgeon.
