Utilizing physical educators to monitor muscular strength and neuromuscular control among children with varied recess time by G. Kate Webb, Yan Zhang, Deborah J. Rhea

“…The purpose of this study was to utilize the physical education setting to examine MusS and NC factors in the Fall and Spring (Time 1 to Time 2) of one school year in a predominately Hispanic sample of second-grade children who received 60 min or 20 min of daily recess.MethodsThis quasi-experimental pre-test/post-test study administered four MusS tests and one NC test to District 1 (N = 59) which received 60 min of recess daily (intervention), and District 2 (N = 49) which received one 20 min daily recess (control). ANCOVAs were run for group differences at Time 2 while controlling for Time 1.ResultsIntervention children significantly outperformed control children on the single leg 3-hop muscular strength test F(1,105) = 13.1, p &lt; .001, n2 = .05, and the neuromuscular control side-step test F(1,105) = 4.77, p = .03, n2 = .04. …”

Weather resilience of the future Swiss electricity system with very high shares of variable renewable energy sources by Collin Killenberger, Nik Zielonka, Jan-Phillipp Sasse, Evelina Trutnevyte

“…Here, we apply the electricity system model EXPANSE for Switzerland to search for resilient cost-optimal and near-optimal system designs in 2035 under various policy scenarios, using data from 25 historical weather years (1995–2019) for electricity demand, solar photovoltaics (PV), wind power, hydropower dams and run-of-river hydropower. In particular, we demonstrate how modeling to generate alternatives (MGA) could be used to define a range of potential system designs for reaching different levels of weather resilience. …”
