    University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad

    Author : Marcus Nilsson; [2021]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Background: Volleyball is a physically demanding sport, not because of physical contacts between players but because of the quick movements and changes of directions that occurs both horizontally and vertically. Many coaches consider vertical jump and agility as the most important skills for a successful volleyball player to possess. READ MORE

  3. 12. The loaded barbell squat: Muscle activation with the barbell in a free compared to a fixed vertical movement path in healthy athletes

    University essay from Umeå universitet/Avdelningen för fysioterapi

    Abstract : Aim: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between a multi-joint eccentric strength test with both change of direction performance and ground reaction force (GRF) of the penultimate foot contact (PFC) in female soccer players. This study also aimed to investigate the bilateral strength and performance differences between the dominant and non-dominant limb. READ MORE

  6. 15. Stars Eating Planets

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Astronomi - Genomgår omorganisation

    Author : John Wimarsson; [2020]
    Keywords : Earth and planetary astrophysics; planetary dynamics; planet-planet scattering; planet consumption; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In a phase of instability during the dynamical evolution of some multiple exoplanetary systems, exchange of angular momentum and/or energy through gravitational interactions between planets will lead to alterations of their orbital properties. In some cases, planetary orbits end up crossing, which leads to close encounters between two planets. READ MORE
