The purpose of the study was to examine the effect of plyometric training on various surface on selected skill performance of female soccer players. To achieve the purpose 36 inter-collegiate female soccer players were selected as subjects. Their age ranged between 18 and 24. The selected subjects were randomly divided into four groups of 9 each. Group-I underwent plyometric exercises on the sand surface, group-II underwent plyometric exercises on the soil surface, group-III underwent plyometric exercises on the grass surface and group-IV acted as control.

O objetivo deste estudo foi identificar e correlacionar o nível de fragilidade e o risco de quedas em idosos participantes de exercícios físicos. A amostra foi composta por 67 idosos, utilizando o teste de Time Upand Go Test (TUGT) e a Escala de Fragilidade de Edmonton (EFE). Foi utilizado o teste ‘t” independente e Man Whitney. Como resultados EFE, 86,6% dos idosos não apresentaram fragilidade, 11,9% vulnerabilidade e 1,5% fragilidade leve. No teste TUGT, 86,6% dos idosos apresentaram risco nulo de quedas e 13,4% baixo risco de quedas.

Introdução: A injúria renal aguda associada à síndrome cardiorrenal tipo 1 são doenças prevalentes no ambiente de terapia intensiva e se apresentam como um grupo heterogêneo de condições que culminam na queda na taxa de filtração glomerular, e, por conseguinte, em um aumento na concentração da creatina sérica ou oligúria, além de ser classificada pelo seu estágio e causa. Objetivos: Analisar a classificação e fisiopatologia da injúria renal aguda e demonstrar atualizações da mesma correlacionada ao suporte dialítico na síndrome cardiorrenal tipo1.

Composite materials have numerous applications in the most varied areas of engineering as offshore, oil and gas industry, marine industries, aeronautics, and automaker. Used because they bring high rigidity and specific resistance, due to the advantages of being resistant to corrosion and having structural flexibility. The work is focused on fiberglass composites with epoxy matrix (FG) and no high-density polyethylene (HDPE) a decade after the incident.
