Sports massage and the recovery of athletes
No full textMasaža je manipulacija tjelesnih tkiva pomoću tehnika kao što su glađenje, trljanje, valjanje i lupkanje u svrhu održavanja zdravlja. To je jedna od najstarijih i najprirodnijih ljekovitih primjena u ljudskoj povijesti. Povijest masaže seže u davna vremena. Najranije pisano znanje o masaži, koja je jedan od najstarijih postupaka liječenja čovječanstva, može se naći u kineskim resursima. Kinezi su najranije započeli koristiti masažu za liječenje bolesti i održavanje zdravlja prije otprilike 5000 godina. Gotovo da ne postoji razlika između klasične medicinske i sportske masaže; imaju gotovo identično fiziološko djelovanje, ali energičnost sportske masaže ima bolji utjecaj na jake i hipertrofične mišiće sportaša. Masaža je osmišljena tako da se omekšavaju i zagrijavaju tkiva, te poravnavaju mišićna vlakna, što omogućava brže izbacivanje mliječne kiseline iz mišića. Sportska masaža koristi se u tretmanu posebnih mišićnih skupina koje su aktivne u pojedinom sportu. Npr.kod biciklista, masaža prije treninga potiče bolje zagrijavanje mišića nogu, koji služe kao glavni pokretači tijekom vožnje. Sportska masaža je sveprisutna u elitnom sportu i sve je češća u dobnim skupinama i na amaterskoj razini, stvarajući industriju profesionalnih terapeuta i uređaja za masažu vrijednu više milijuna funti. Kao najveće prednosti sportske masaže smatraju se poboljšani oporavak, izvedba i prevencija ozljeda. Kod vrhunskih sportaša, brza i učinkovita regeneracija je glavni predmet svih trenažnih procesa, a masaža je postala neizostavni dio terapije svakog sportaša. Zanimanje za sportsku masažu u posljednje je vrijeme u stalnom porastu, osobito u zemljama u razvoju. Određene studije su pokazale da liječnici opće prakse imaju minimalno ili nimalo znanja o terapiji sportskom masažom. Primarni cilj ovog rada je utvrditi na koji način sportska masaža utječe na oporavak sportaša. Sekundarni cilj je prezentirati najnovije spoznaje iz područja primjene sportske masaže u oporavku sportaša zainteresiranoj javnosti.Massage is the manipulation of body tissues using techniques such as effleurage, friction, rolling and tapping for the purpose of maintaining health. It is one of the oldest and most natural medicinal applications in human history. The history of massage goes back to ancient times. The earliest written knowledge of massage, which is one of humanity's oldest treatment procedures, can be found in Chinese resources. The Chinese at the earliest began using massage to treat diseases and maintain health about 5,000 years ago. There is almost no difference between classical medical and sports massage; they have almost identical physiological action, but the hustle of sports massage has a better effect on the strong and hypertrophic muscles of athletes. Massage is designed to soften and warm tissues, and align muscle fibers, which allows faster expulsion of lactic acid from the muscles. Sports massage is used in the treatment of special muscle groups that are active in a particular sport. For example, in cyclists, pre-workout massage promotes better warm-up of the leg muscles, which serve as the main drivers while riding. Sports massage is ubiquitous in elite sport and is increasingly common in age groups and at the amateur level, creating an industry of professional therapists and massage devices worth millions of pounds. The greatest benefits of sports massage are improved recovery, performance and injury prevention. In top athletes, fast and effective regeneration is the main subject of all training processes, and massage has become an indispensable part of the therapy of every athlete. Interest in sports massage has been steadily increasing lately, especially in developing countries. Certain studies have shown that GPs have minimal or no knowledge of sports massage therapy. The primary goal of this paper is to determine how sports massage affects the recovery of athletes. The secondary goal is to present the latest findings in the field of sports massage in the recovery of athletes to the interested public

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
