“An intervention program to promote health‐related physical fitness in nurses” by Yuan et al. (2009) is a quasi-experimental study that aimed to assess the impact of an exercise intervention on the nurses’ health-related physical fitness. Although quasi-experimental designs can be used to test causal hypotheses and share certain assumptions with experimental designs, quasi-experimental studies do not assume random assignment and control over extraneous variables, so they tend to have low internal validity (Trochim, 2006). Despite potential threats to internal validity, quasi-experimental studies are effective designs for investigating causal effects outside of controlled settings, so they often have good ...

The growing plethora on the debate regarding the act of compensating collegiate student athletes has interest not only sports aficionados, the academe but the society in general. Many people question the practice as somewhat inappropriate and a precursor to encouraging the youth to lose focus on their academics and their primary purpose for education. Many believe that students are being lured to participate in sports because of the financial reward that they can get from becoming a student athlete. Thus, students’ priorities are divided because of this practice. In addition, many assumes that when a student deemed that the rewards of athletic ...

Sneakers are perceived to have the darkest history in the footwear industry. Particularly because sneaker designs that were manufactured and invented many years ago have gained favour in the modern day, particularly the platform sneakers (Schiavone, 2014).

With this rate, it is becoming increasingly difficult to establish a design that will be launched subsequently. The aforementioned makes it even harder for one to establish the stance of sneaker products in the coming 20 ...

Introduction

Health sustainability and reduction of muscular illness has been an alarming campaign among the elderly. This is the group of people above the age of sixty years who in most cases are retired and live alone. It is also notable that this group has limited activities on their schedule as they are not working and mostly live on their pension. This makes it essential to increase their physical activities and stabilize their emotional health. These activities involve walking, engaging in planned sports and playing, conducting household chores and leisure activities such as swimming, cycling and hiking. These activities can ...

While much of Kurt Vonnegut’s fiction teems with irony and sarcasm, his advice about composition in “How to Write with Style” is earnest and sincere. He feels that one should write about that which makes one passionate; indeed, he suggests that “[t]he most damning revelation you can make about yourself is that you do not know what is interesting and what is not” (443). This means that, for Vonnegut, writing begins with the inspiration, with the “ideas in your head” (443).

Ralph Wood explained that Cheever’s work is rich in sadness because of its strong sense of “the human quest for meaning and value” (paragraph 7, 1982). In his interview with Anne Grant, Cheever admitted that his stories are “metaphors of reality of life” (Paris Review, No. 62).

Social identity refers to the behavior of a specific human being and his personal identity in relation in the social group in which he is a member (Turner 2000). Track and field refers to a sporting event whereby various activities are undertaken in one stadium. The stadium consists of a running lane and other facilities for jumping and throwing balls. Men’s performance differs when it comes to track and field. For instance, if a man runs alone rather than in relay, there is less probability of winning. In a relay, the fast runners compensate the loss made by the slow runners. It is therefore ...

The participation of girls in athletics tapers off as they transition into teenage hood and as they become young women. The rate at which female teens stop participating in athletics is much higher as compared to male teens.

This shows a great decline in young girls’ participation in athletics during adolescence. Women’s Sports Foundation (2011) found out that by the age of seven, the number of girls who have quit athletics and sports generally far surpasses ...

For instance, the two most popular sports events in the world are the Olympics and the FIFA World based on their attendance (Egger and Maurer 2014). However, since the two-sport events occur once in every four years in different countries, it would take many years to host these events twice in a ...

Every year, new records on different sports are broken by athletes. That is, they set new records on the previous limits of human performance in their respective sports.

This is, in fact, one of the reasons why most people and experts in the field of sports ask if there is ever a limit to human performance. Some would answer yes and some would answer the opposite.

While many children are born with a proverbial clean slate, this is obviously not the case for all children. When it comes to developmental psychology, there are many children that are born with some nasty genetic precursors or other issues innate to what is passed on from their parents and this leads to some challenges even in the best of circumstances. Such a situation calls for what Ellignsen, Baker, Blacher and Crnic (2014) refer to as “resilient parenting”. Indeed, they state right off the top that there are immense and immeasurable benefits to efficacious parenting and this ...
