Effect of Heating Rate on the Dynamic Compressive Properties of Granite by Ronghua Shu, Tubing Yin, Xibing Li

“…The microscopic morphological features were obtained by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and the crack propagation was determined by high-speed video camera. The experimental results show that the dynamic compressive strength and elastic modulus both show an obvious trend of a decrease with the increasing heating rate and temperature; the opposite phenomenon is observed for the peak strain. …”

Specifics of the Algorithmic Prescriptions in the Learning Process of the Gymnastics Exercises’ Techniques by Victor BUFTEA

“…When dividing a whole into constituent parts, it is necessary that they be classified or arranged according to their common characteristics, such as the movement of certain segments in the same direction, with the same mode of symmetry, speed, amplitude, the increasing order of the degree of difficulty, etc., which allow the identity of the phases and their positive transfer by extrapolation on other actions and, obviously, which does not contradict the physiological and psychological-pedagogical mechanisms of motor skills formation. …”

Kinematic analysis of the back squat at different load intensities in powerlifters and weightlifters by Valerio Giustino, Domenico Savio Salvatore Vicari, Domenico Savio Salvatore Vicari, Flavia Figlioli, Flavia Figlioli, Marco Gervasi, Eneko Fernández Peña, Naima Schifaudo, Mattia Tedesco, Patrik Drid, Antonio Paoli, Giuseppe Battaglia, Giuseppe Battaglia, Antonino Bianco, Antonino Patti

“…., 60%, 70%, 80%, 90%, 100%) of the 1-RM. An action camera recorded the execution of each BS trial in the sagittal plane and, afterward, the videos were analyzed by measuring the range of motion (ROM) of hip, knee, and ankle for the angular kinematics, and the timing, distances, speeds, and accelerations of the barbell for the linear kinematics.ResultsRegarding the angular kinematics, no significant differences were found in the parameters in the starting and ending positions among the 5 trials, while a significant decrease was found in the hip relative angle (p = 0.026) in the maximum flexion position as load intensity increased. …”
