Order of strength exercises on the performance of judo athletes

OBJETIVO: El objetivo fue investigar el efecto del orden distintas de ejercicios de fuerza para extremidades superiores e inferiores en el rendimiento específico de judokas junior. MÉTODO: Se divide una muestra de 39 atletas masculinos en tres grupos: Experimental-EG1; EG2 y Control. Los Grupos realizaron ejercicios de fuerza máxima y potencia con intensidades del 80-90% para 12 semanas de intervención. El orden de los ejercicios para el EG1 fue del de extremidades superiores primero e inferiores después. El EG2 realiza los mismos ejercicios en secuencia inversa. Se utilizó la Prueba Especial Judo Fitness (SJFT) para evaluación. RESULTADOS: Los experimentos intra e inter grupos muestran diferencias (p<0.05) en los derribos-caídas y en el índice SJFT, con EG2 mostrando mejores resultados. CONCLUSIONES: Las variables de SJFT tuvieron mejores resultados en el orden de ejercicios seguidos por el EG2OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effect of strength exercises using different orders for upper and lower limbs on the specific performance of junior judo athletes. METHODS: 39 male athletes were divided into three groups: experimental- EG1, experimental-EG2 and control group. Experimental groups performed with intensities 80-90% of strength and power for 12 weeks. The exercise-order for EG1 followed an upper to lower limb sequence and EG2 performed the same exercises in reverse. The Special Judo Fitness Test (SJFT) was used in the assessment. RESULTS: Experimental intra and inter-groups showed differences (p<0.05) in the throws-falls and SJFT-index, but the EG2 showed best results. CONCLUSIONS: The SJFT-variables had better results to exercises order in EG

Características agronômicas dos capins Digitaria sp. e Cynodon dactylon cv. Tifton-85 sob diferentes alturas de resíduo.

Com o objetivo de avaliar a produtividade dos capins Digitaria sp. e Cynodon dactylon cv. Tifton-85 em diferentes alturas de resíduo foi conduzido um experimento, no período de abril a junho de 2012, na Embrapa Meio-Norte, localizada no município de Parnaíba, Piauí. O delineamento experimental foi em blocos casualizados em esquema de parcelas divididas, com cinco repetições, tendo nas parcelas as gramíneas (Digitária e Tifton-85) e nas subparcelas as alturas de resíduos (10, 20 e 30 cm)

Produtividade do Capim-Marandu sob diferentes doses de nitrogênio.

Objetivou-se com este trabalho avaliar o efeito de diferentes doses de nitrogênio (N) sobre o rendimento de matéria seca (MS) do capim Brachiaria brizantha cv. Marandu. O trabalho foi conduzido, no período de dezembro de 2011 a abril de 2012, no Campo Experimental da Embrapa Meio-Norte, localizado no município de Parnaíba, Piauí

Pervasive gaps in Amazonian ecological research

Biodiversity loss is one of the main challenges of our time,1,2 and attempts to address it require a clear un derstanding of how ecological communities respond to environmental change across time and space.3,4 While the increasing availability of global databases on ecological communities has advanced our knowledge of biodiversity sensitivity to environmental changes,5–7 vast areas of the tropics remain understudied.8–11 In the American tropics, Amazonia stands out as the world’s most diverse rainforest and the primary source of Neotropical biodiversity,12 but it remains among the least known forests in America and is often underrepre sented in biodiversity databases.13–15 To worsen this situation, human-induced modifications16,17 may elim inate pieces of the Amazon’s biodiversity puzzle before we can use them to understand how ecological com munities are responding. To increase generalization and applicability of biodiversity knowledge,18,19 it is thus crucial to reduce biases in ecological research, particularly in regions projected to face the most pronounced environmental changes. We integrate ecological community metadata of 7,694 sampling sites for multiple or ganism groups in a machine learning model framework to map the research probability across the Brazilian Amazonia, while identifying the region’s vulnerability to environmental change. 15%–18% of the most ne glected areas in ecological research are expected to experience severe climate or land use changes by 2050. This means that unless we take immediate action, we will not be able to establish their current status, much less monitor how it is changing and what is being lostinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
