Limiting the Rise in Core Temperature During a Rugby Sevens Warm-up With an Ice Vest.
(
Human Kinetics
, 2019 , Article)
Determine how a cooling vest worn during a warm-up could influence selected performance [counter movement jump (CMJ)], physical (GPS metrics) and psycho-physiological (body temperature and perceptual) variables. In a ...

Progressive circuit resistance training improves inflammatory biomarkers and insulin resistance in obese men
(
Elsevier Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Circuit resistance training (CRT) is a time-efficient exercise modality for improving skeletal muscle and cardiovascular fitness. But the beneficial role of CRT in obese individuals is still not well understood. This study ...

(
Springer New York LLC
, 2019 , Conference Paper)
Annotating blockchains with auxiliary data is useful for many applications. For example, criminal investigation of darknet marketplaces, such as Silk Road and Agora, typically involves linking Bitcoin addresses, from which ...
Active exercisers with a higher orientation toward task-approach goal might experience higher happiness: the mediating role of dispositional self-control
(
Taylor and Francis Inc.
, 2019 , Article)
Active exercisers engage in physical activity or training sessions with intentions that are inherently influenced by stable orientations toward achievement goals (i.e. self-regulatory representations about specific outcomes ...
