This study investigated effects of listening example duration on the musical evaluation of wind band performances. In it, 96 music majors rated wind band performances that varied in performance level (high school, university, and professional), tempo (fast and slow), and duration (approximately 12, 25, and 50 seconds). Results showed no main effect for duration; however, there was a significant interaction between duration, tempo, and performance level. Listener ratings were higher for the medium and long durations of the professional and university level performances than for short performances. In contrast, medium and long durations were rated lower than the short examples for high school performances. The slow excerpt was rated higher than the fast excerpt only for professional performances. Analysis of features most noticed by listeners showed that intonation was associated with the relatively low ratings of high school level performances and musical expression was associated with the professional recordings.

The authors compare four variables of an attack jump between two groups of volleyball players, juniors and cadets. We observed during six months average strength of rebound, maximal impulse of strength, the time of whole rebound and the time reaching maximal impulse of strength. Th e group of juniors had better results for every parameter but cadets reached the highest improvement. Th e younger group gets to positive changes in average strength during rebound by 17,4 %, and for the time of whole rebound about 16,6 %. Maximal impulse of strength was increased by 3,9 % and the time reaching maximal impulse of strength was shorter 14,4 %. Juniors reached smaller changes than cadets, for average strength during rebound 9,2 %, maximal impulse of strength was increased by 12,5 % and the time of whole rebound about 10,6 %. Th e value of maximal impulse of strength was worst by 5,2 %. Th e both groups realized training programme of a very high quality, juniors 342 hours and cadets 211 hour of trainings load. Th e diff erences in results and value of changes are consequences of maturity, time of regular training process and performance level of our groups.

Purpose:To describe the development of anthropometric and physical characteristics of young Swiss alpine skiers between 2004 and 2011, to compare them between age and performance-level groups, and to identify age- and sex-dependent reference values for the tests performed.Methods:The Swiss-Ski Power Test includes anthropometric measures and physical tests for coordination and speed, strength, anaerobic capacity, and endurance. The authors analyzed the results of 8176 tests performed by 1579 male and 1109 female alpine skiers between 2004 and 2011. Subjects ranged between regional and national level of performance and were grouped according to their competition age groups (U12, 11 y; U14, 12–13 y; U16, 14–15 y; U18, 16–17 y; U21, 18–20 y) and performance level.Results:A progressive increase in anthropometric measures and improvements in tests results with increasing age were found. For all tests, male athletes had better results than female athletes. Minor differences were observed in anthropometric characteristics between 2004 and 2011 (mostly <5%), while results of physical and coordinative tests showed significant improvements (up to more than 50% enhancement) or stability over the years. Differences between higher- and lower-level athletes were more pronounced in tests for lower-limb strength and anaerobic capacity.Conclusions:The presented profile of young Swiss alpine skiers highlights the improvements in different physical aspects along the maturation process and chronologically over a period of 7 y. Furthermore, reference values are provided for comparisons with alpine skiers or athletes from other sports.

Although absolute jump heights should be considered an important factor in judging the performance requirements of volleyball players, limited data is available on age-appropriate categories. The purpose of this study is to determine the differences in specific anthropometric characteristics and jumping performance variables in under−19 female volleyball players in relation to playing position and performance level. The sample of subjects consisted of 354 players who prepared for the U19 Women’s Volleyball European Championship 2020 (17.4 ± 0.8 years, 1.81 ± 0.07 m, 67.5 ± 7.1 kg). Playing positions analyzed were setters (n = 55), opposites (n = 37), middle blockers (n = 82), outside hitters (n = 137), and liberos (n = 43). The results showed player position differences in every performance level group in variables of body height, spike, and block jump. Observed differences are a consequence of highly specific tasks of different positions in the composition of the team. Players of different performance levels are significantly different, with athletes of higher-ranked teams achieving better results. The acquired data could be useful for the selection and profiling of young volleyball players.

Purpose:To analyze how physical fitness (PF) improves in elite junior tennis players related to age, maturity, and performance level.Methods:Elite junior tennis players (n = 113 boys, n = 83 girls) divided by performance level were monitored longitudinally from U14 to U16. Maturity, upper and lower-body power, speed, and agility were measured during subsequent competitive seasons. Improvement was analyzed per sex using multilevel analysis.Results:PF components for boys and girls improved over age (U14-U16) (ES .53–.97). In boys, the more mature boys outscored the less mature boys in upper and lower-body power from U14-U16. In girls, high-ranked girls outscored lower-ranked girls on lower-body power, speed, and agility (U14-U16) (p < .05).Conclusion:Boys and girls improved on all PF components during U14-U16. In boys, power was related to maturity. In girls, lower-body power, speed, and agility were related to tennis performance. This has important implications for talent development.

The purpose of the study was to compare the physical fitness variable of 15-19 years of urban and rural area of Gandhinagar district Gujarat in relation to their age. To fulfill the objective of the study 40 School level Volleyball player (20 each) players of Gandhinagar was selected. The age of the selected subjects ranged from 15 to 19 years. Only (Standing Board Jump and 50 yard dash tests) were used to measures the selected physical fitness variables of the players. The study was delimited to AAPHER youth fitness test. In order to analyze the data t-test was used to analyze the data and investigator observed the significant different between Rural and Urban School level Volleyball players of Gandhinagar district Gujarat.
