in¬tense training in later phases and periods. Later in the preparatory period‚ the basic strength phase aims to increase the strength of the muscles essential to the primary sport movements. For example‚ the sprinter’s running program progresses to include interval sprints of moderate distances and more complex and specialized plyometric drills. The last stage of the preparatory period is the strength/power phase. Here‚ the sprinter’s in¬terval and speed training intensifies to near com¬petitive

created equal‚ free‚ rich‚ poor‚ intelligent or otherwise. From these many traits that we share‚ we draw strength‚ hope or ambition. But in all these desirable traits‚ there are always elements of weakness. Weaknesses which may cost us a great deal or spare us from life’s many machinations and snares. Being in a liberal arts college like ashesi‚ I spend most of my time coming to terms with my strengths and weakneses: usually unknowingly and without any real effort. A real weakness I have identified is

ENGINEERING LABORATORY III (BDA 27101) TOPIC 1: TENSILE TEST 1. INTRODUCTION The tensile experiment is the most common mechanical test that reveals several important mechanical properties‚ such as: modulus of elasticity‚ yield strength‚ ultimate tensile strength‚ ductility‚ and toughness. The material to be tested is formed into a shape suitable for gripping in the testing machine‚ and then pulled at constant rate until it fractures. The tensile instrument elongates the specimen at a constant

primarily discusses results obtained from the conducted experiments and includes computed data from the Kingston computer program. The value of the plastic moment capacity of each experiment was obtained; Obtained value was used to find the yield strength of the structures and compare them to typical values for mild steel. The important data is summarized in a table; followed by a list of important formulae. All individual results are listed in the appendix at the end. NISHANT AGARWAL The

Informative Essay Overtraining Do you like the saying of ‘no days off’? Ever heard the statement ‘rest is for the weak’? You might have even heard that the more you work out the better results you’ll get. You may push your self to the limit every time you work out‚ but ever think of giving your body a rest week to recover? Most athletes know that getting enough rest after exercise is essential to high-level performance‚ but many still over train and feel remorseful when they take a day off. People

the embankment was constructed. Lime was spread over the foundation soils to increase the shear strength of the soil through lime diffusion. In the laboratory experiments‚ vertical and horizontal deformations of the geotextile were recorded. Spreading of lime reduced the water content of the clay in the crust layer. It was observed that crust formation using lime diffusion increased the shear strength of the foundation soil thereby allowing the soil to carry larger loads. The soil was capable of
