Previously, it was reported that carbohydrate mouth rinse improves repeated sprint performance. The current study, aimed to explore this postulation by examining the influence of carbohydrate mouth rinse on repeated sprint performance. The present study, employed a pre-experimental trial. This was parallel with printed recommendations (Hopkins et al., 2001). Moreover, the absence of a practice effect for any performance variable indicates veracity of the pre-experimental trial. Furthermore,…

The Merriam-Webster dictionary describes multitasking as “the ability to do several things at the same time.” People multitask in order to complete work more quickly than they originally would have. After all, who wouldn’t want to finish their chores in half the time? When it comes to school, students nearly always welcome opportunities to finish early. Multitasking becomes an appealing strategy when faced with multiple homework assignments, extracurricular activities, and social gatherings.…

These movements are crucial for a tennis serve and therefore show its importance in maintaining optimal function in this area (Schacter, 2010). Reinold et al (2013) has suggested that exercises strengthening the scapula stabilising muscles (serratus anterior and trapezius muscles) have shown to be beneficial for overarm athletes. By building up the dynamic stability of these muscles it may prevent them from being overstretched during the serving…

the absence of contingency learning effects, researchers will need to evaluate the role of learning processes in conflict adaptation. Furthermore, future research should seek to expand Botvinick et al.’s (1999) findings regarding the role of the anterior cingulate cortex in conflict adaptation by attempting to locate the other regions of the brain that contribute to this…

Directed forgetting can be defined as an overall reduction in long-term memory, resulting from human demand to forget previously presented…

because the tibiofemoral joint is weak to a relative extent and can be damaged easily, it relies on ligaments and muscles to sustain its stability. When a person extends their knee fully, then the femur slightly rotates on the tibia and locks the tibiofemoral joint in place hence allowing for effective load bearing. The other articulating surface is the patellofemoral which is the distal and anterior part of the femur that articulates with the patella. The patellofemoral joint increases the…

Hoehn, 2013). The ligaments are what keep the knee in place and allow us to move and be mobile. This structure is also the most vulnerable because it is the part of our body that bears the most weight and pressure and needs to be flexible in order to maintain its purpose. We need our knees to support our body weight, have the ability to perform a squat and even something as simple as walking (Sanville, Nicholson, & Driscoll, 1994). The main parts of the knee are bones, ligaments, tendons,…
