Dynamic stretching alone can impair slower velocity isokinetic performance of young male handball players for at least 24 hours by Haddad, Monoem

“…Two-way repeated measures ANOVAs revealed that 1) both the SS and control conditions exhibited knee extensor 60.s -1 (SS:-10.3%; p = 0.04, Control: -8.7%; p = 0.07) and 300.s -1 (SS: -12.9%; p = 0.005, Control: -16.3%; p = 0.02) isokinetic deficits at post-test, 2) DS impaired knee flexor 60.s -1 isokinetic work and power-related measures at post-test (Work: -10.1%; p = 0.0006; Power: -19.1%; p = 0.08) and at 24-hours' post-test (Work: 9.9%; p = 0.023; Power: -9.6%; p = 0.01), 3) DS (12.07% and 10.47%) and SS (13.7% and 14.6%) enhanced knee flexor 300.s -1 isokinetic force and power-related measures compared to control. …”

The investigation of treatment design parameters on carbon integration networks by Alnouri, Sabla Y.

“…Furthermore, it was discovered that for net capture targets of 20% and 25%, no revenue from carbon storage could be generated beyond a solvent temperature of 25 °C. Additionally, the optimal diameter of the treatment column was more responsive to changes in solvent temperature for cases with low net capture targets (below 10%), while its sensitivity decreased for higher capture targets (above 10%). …”
