These effects of stretching prominently appear to affect stretch tolerance with no changes in the viscoelastic properties of the muscle (Halbertsma & Göeken, 1994) (Magnusson, Simonsen, Aagaard, Sørensen, & Kjaer, 1996). The mechanism for increased performance following chronic stretching is believed to be related to stretch-induced hypertrophy, which is discussed more when examining the adaption mechanisms. Adaptation Mechanisms The adaptation mechanisms of acute and chronic stretching…

Soccer is one of the biggest team sports out there in the world with an estimated figure of about 265 million players in the world. Unfortunately, soccer-related knee injuries are very common and constitute a major problem not only in soccer but many other sports. The Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is one of the most common knee structure that is injured during play and practice. An ACL injury can be characterized as a partial of a full tear of the ligament; surgical repair of the ACL is very…

Heritage on wheels. That’s my take on the Ford Mustang. You cannot escape the evidential truth that Ford’s pony car has a great deal of history behind it, while it adroitly advances that legacy with each new model built. A Once-Threatened Species More than a half century has passed since the original Mustang took to the road, but not without a little drama through the intervening years. Indeed, the Mustang’s existence was threatened at least twice over that span, beginning with new federal…

and emission release. Engine downsizing and turbocharging is perhaps the most encompassing of all of the previous solutions. The overall size of the engine is decreased and a turbocharger is added, allowing for the same or sometimes more power and torque to be produced and lowering fuel consumptions and…

Jet engines are commonly known to be on various aircraft. Whether it be an airplane or a rocket, jet engines are what allow these aircraft to fly through the air at tremendous speeds. In 1926, Frank Whittle had to write a thesis in order to graduate from officer training. Whittle chose his thesis topic to be over the future of aviation. In his paper, he discussed that with the way planes were gaining thrust, which was by propellers, the planes would never be able to fly higher than twenty…

the drive wheels in the ratio of 5:1. • It helps in enabling diversion of power flow at right angles. • It helps in providing necessary means to drive the driving wheels at different speeds when required. • It helps in resisting the effect of torque reaction, driving thrust and braking effort effectively. Comparison between Manual transmission and Automatic transmission Manual transmission Automatic transmission • Vehicles with manual transmission are usually…

took the wheelbase from the jaguar XK-120 “witch was one of Harley Earls favorites” they set it at 102 inches for better quick turning and smooth handling (Langworth, 1987, p.20). And for the first time in Chevrolet’s history instead of putting a torque tube drive on the car they put in a Hotchkiss Drive shaft. Witch that means the drive shaft is open instead of enclosed, the Hotchkiss drive is similar to the drive shafts we use today in rear wheel cars and trucks. Unlike most Chevy cars they…

A single, all-knowing entity is central to the religion that I had grown up with. A god named God a figure of perfection who cradles the world. Watching over the people of Earth and holding control of what goes on with no-one sitting at his level sharing such an amazing power of creation. God made it all and holds so much faith from the people and for the people, but no matter what anyone says, I cannot bear the thought of giving all of my faith to someone or something so inhumanely “pure”.…

dissipate through the springs, and the specific behavior of the springs can be modeled in later stages. The component of force that needs to be looked at primarily is the x component, since this is the component of the force that would produce the most torque on collision. Since the x component of both the spring and the impact forces are relatively more important, this means a system should be created that hinders most of the translational/rotational movement in the x direction. BIOBAND To…

Although the efficacy of bracing the knee post-anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery has been widely debated, knee bracing has been regarded as a necessity for protection of the ACL post reconstructive surgery. Functional knee braces are intended to stabilize the knee during rotation, reduce strain on the ACL graft, and are most often seen in in sports that require various, fast direction changes (Paluska & Mckeag , 2000). Typically, the choice of the patient wearing or not wearing a…
