This study was conducted to examine the correlation between the anthropometric measure and kinematic of pull shot. Eighteen cricket batsmen were recruited for data collection. The variables were recorded as stature, body mass, skinfolds, girths, bone lengths, breadths and physical strengths. The pull shots were recorded with two video cameras and Aerial Performance Analysis System (APAS) software for the kinematic of the pull shot. All kinematic were not significantly correlated with the pull shot performance except the bat angle. It was concluded that the girths and breadths of upper and lower limbs are associated with higher perforamnce of pull shot at the moment of batball contact. The wider arms help to maintain the body position to execute a successful pull shot. The extension of the knee, hip and elbows assist batsmen to keep body position against the short of length ball for an accurate pull shot.

"ABSTRACT. Background. A balanced posture allows sports movements PERFORMANCE with optimal consumption of energy and minimal stress on the musculoskeletal system with of the technology offered by the posturograph, we can identify the center of gravity deviations, the points of support, the load, the weight distribution in the soles, the anterior posteriorized or compressed posture, the asymmetries of the body. by an interpretation in biomechanical context, any compensations or decompensations can be identified. Aim. The aim of the study is to improve posture through biofeedback treatment using the GPS 600 device. Materials. The Posturograph or Global Postural System (GPS) is an advanced postural analysis system that uses techniques and methods of noninvasive diagnosis and evaluation in the field of medical recovery. Posturography includes 2 diagnostic units and software. Methods. We used the following methods: bibliographic study methods, method of observation, measurement method, experimental method, statistical method. Applied treatments. The treatments for re-educating the posture with the GPS 600 device took place for 2 weeks. During the treatment, the subjects had to maintain their body position / posture as indicated by the device. Results. From the 12 athletes, the anteriority of the head improved, the center of gravity, loading on the right and left lower limbs. At the end of the 2 weeks, the athletes reached a perfect balance of the center of gravity and the weight distribution on the lower limbs. Conclusion. Biofeedback treatments with the GPS 600 device help to improve POSTURE and maintain the results over time."

This article explores the fundamental role of bodily movement in the development of musical knowledge and performance skills; in particular, how the body can be used to understand expressive musical material and to communicate that meaning to coperformers and audience. The relevance to the educator is explored (whether working with a child or adult beginner, or a more advanced learner). The article is divided into six main sections, tracing the role of body movement skill in music production, expressive musical performance, developing learners to play their musical instruments with technical and expressive appropriateness, coperformer coordination, and projection for audience perception. The work builds on a growing interest in the embodied nature of musical experience. The article concludes with case study observations of practical insights and applications for the teacher.

Inhumation burials are recorded in Britain and Europe during excavations in a standardized way, especially graves of early medieval date. Just a limited number of attributes are usually foregrounded and these mainly concern skeletal identification, the grave plan and, when a burial is furnished, a list of objects, particularly metalwork, as well as occasional reference to burial structures, if present. In this paper, we argue that concealed within these recorded details are attributes that often receive little attention, but which can provide evidence for community investment in the individual funerary rite. These include grave orientation, grave morphology, the body position and the empty spaces in the grave, as well as categories of material culture. We argue here that these factors enable us to define communal burial profiles and can facilitate the identification of group perceptions and actions in dealing with death. By capitalizing on these additional aspects of funerary ritual, archaeologists can move away from a general dependency on well-furnished burials as the main stepping-off point for discussion of social and cultural issues. This has particular relevance for regions where unfurnished burial rites are the norm and where furnished rites do not rely on a wealth of metalwork.

This article first studies and designs the college English test framework and performance analysis system. The author analyzes a large number of data collected by the system in three dimensions: using data mining title association models, using machine learning to merge college English score prediction models, and finally diagnosing on the basis of the sexual evaluation model, the author designed and implemented a test paper algorithm based on the association rules of the question type, and carried out relevant verification from the three aspects of test paper time, test question recommendation and improvement according to scores. Finally, according to the needs analysis, the author uses the diagnostic evaluation model and related test paper algorithm to design and implement the diagnostic evaluation model, which is added to the college English diagnostic practice system. It can be obtained through comparative experiments that the paper-based algorithm based on the diagnostic evaluation model proposed in this paper can effectively give better practice guidance and test question recommendation to the learner’s learning status and knowledge point problem obstacles, and can effectively improve learning. The achievements of the authors have broad application prospects and research value.
