    Abstract: The purpose of this study was to identify the correct technique to perform highly executed long swing gymnastic movement: Belle Piked (BP). Two national Chinese gymnasts (58kg, 60.3kg) performed 4 repetitions of BP movement, on the middle of parallel bars with zero deduction. Reflective markers (14mm) and ten high-speed cameras (ViconT40S, 100Hz) w... Show More

    Abstract: Scammon’s growth curves are often cited in discussions of motor ability development and training theory. However, Scammon’s theory of growth curves was proposed more than 90 years ago, and its scientific value is weak. Therefore the growth curves of Scammon was reexamined, and Fujimmon growth curves was newly proposed. If based on Fujimmon’s growth... Show More

    Abstract: Weight Lifters often manipulate dietary protein to build muscles, and one dietary approach is a High-Protein Ketogenic Diet (HPKD). However, very little research has been conducted on the effects of a high-protein ketogenic diet on strength training performance and muscle building outcome goals. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is to inv... Show More
