DOES THE SHORT-TERM LEARNING EFFECT IMPACT VERTICAL JUMP PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT ON A PORTABLE FORCE PLATE SYSTEM?

Does the short-term learning effect impact vertical jump performance assessment on a portable force plate system?

One of the reoccurring questions that arises during the countermovement vertical jump (CVJ) assessment is whether the learning effect has an impact on the accuracy of the results obtained.Thus, the purpose of the present investigation was to examine the impact of the short-term learning effect on the assessment of lower-body neuromuscular performan

The role of H1 linker histone subtypes in preserving the fidelity of elaboration of mesendodermal and neuroectodermal lineages during embryonic development.

H1 linker histone proteins are essential for the structural and functional integrity of chromatin and for the fidelity of additional epigenetic modifications.Deletion of H1c, H1d and H1e in mice leads to embryonic lethality by mid-gestation with a broad spectrum of developmental alterations.To elucidate the cellular and molecular mechanisms underly
