Equations to estimate the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) have recently been advocated over serum creatinine values as a means to more accurately assess kidney function. The Cockcroft-Gault (CG) equation requires a body weight parameter, whereas the Modification of Diet in…

The aim of the current study was to develop a structural equation modeling (i.e., path-flow analysis model) for active drag force based on anthropometric, hydrodynamic and biomechanical variables in young swimmers. The theoretical model was developed according to main review…

The purpose of this study was of two-folds, firstly, to evaluate the anthropometric profile of Indian inter-university volleyball players and, secondly, to search the correlation of body mass index, % body fat, hand grip strength (right dominant) and Vo2max. with…

This study aims to characterize the specific domains (SPD) and non-specific domains (NSD) of practice on the procedures of learning training in football, quantifying and identifying the experiences in order to find possible links between the estimates of accumulation of…
