Hemodialysis prescription : dose adequacy by continuous monitoring of fresh and spent dialysate conductivity
(2001)
Measurement of hemodialysis treatment adequacy is essential to monitor quality
assurance for today’s growing dialysis population. The universally accepted measure of
hemodialysis dose is Kt/V. Kt/V above 1.2 has been ...
Influence of type II muscle fibers and creatine supplementation on repeated bouts of the Wingate Anaerobic Test
(2001)
The main purpose of this thesis was to investigate the influence of muscle fiber
type composition and supplemental creatine monohydrate on repeated bouts of the
Wingate Anaerobic Test (WAnT). More specifically, would a ...
Relationships between timing of injury onset in the sport season and emotional response to injury
(2001)
The relationship between the timing of injury onset in the sport season and athletes’ emotional
reaction to sport injury was investigated. Twenty (10 male and 10 female) varsity and
recreational athletes involved in the ...
Comparison of oxygen consumption and selected kinematics between and within the 1-skate, 2-skate and offset techniques
(2001)
The 1-skate, 2-skate and offset techniques are the three most prevalent skate-skiing
techniques used during cross-country ski racing. Although kinematic differences
at maximum velocity have been observed between techniques ...

achievement goal orientation, Intrinsic motivation and self-efficacy In relation to their
gender and the sport structure they participate in, competitive ...
Predictors of physical activity among individuals with spinal cord injuries
(2001)
This study used the theoretical framework of Pender's Health Promotion Model (HPM)
to predict physical activity patterns in a sample of spinal cord injured (SCI). The model
was adapted to better fit the population under ...
Effect of oral glutamine supplementation on resting blood and saliva immune parameters in endurance trained athletes
(2001)
There is considerable evidence suggesting that frequent, intense, long duration exercise is
associated with adverse effects on the immune system as shown by a decrease in immune cell
numbers and function. This may ...
Effects of Tai Chi on balance and mobility in older women who are at various risk levels for falls
(2001)
Physical activity has been accepted as instrumental in the maintenance of functional ability and

Guide to Healthy Active ...
Impact force testing of long distance running shoes
(2001)
The primary purpose of the study was to calibrate and validate a shoe impact
machine designed to replicate heel strike impact force produced during running.
The secondary purpose was to compare impact force attenuation ...
Variability of ionic magnesium
(2001)
With the invention o f the ion-selective electrode, ionic magnesium (iMg), the
biologically active form of Mg, is a common blood assay. There is some evidence that iMg
has considerable within subject variability. To ...
