(2014-01-22)
The focus of this case study was to determine the impact of the co-construction and use of the clock model in the development of fractional understanding in a Grade 4/5 classroom. A pretest, instruction, midtest, intervention, ...
Exploring a Potential Means of Measuring Running Economy above Anaerobic Threshold
(2016)
Running economy (RE) is an important predictor of endurance performance. To date, the typical methods of measuring RE involves calculating an athlete’s VO2 (ml-1·kg−1·km−1) at a known speed during a physiological steady-state. ...
