Abstract:
We adopted allometric models to identify the most appropriate body size/shape characteristics associated with physical performance activities of Greek school children. Children underwent assessments for aerobic and anaerobic fitness, flexibility and hand-grip strength. Results suggest that the inverse Ponderal index and not BMI is the most appropriate body-shape indicator associated with running and jumping activities. Height was negatively associated with flexibility, but both height and weight were positively associated with hand-grip strength. In conclusion, allometric models provide a valu

Abstract Melatonin has been documented to alleviate compromised pregnancies and enhance livestock performance traits. The objective of this study was to determine the effect of melatonin supplementation on milking traits in beef cattle dams and subsequent influence on calf performance. Cows (n = 60) were blocked based on embryo transfer donor and sire, potential calf breed and embryo grade. At d190, 220 and 250 of gestation, dams were administered either 2 subdermal ear melatonin implants (preMEL) or no implants (preCON).

As I ponder how we as performance theorists endeavour to analyse the question of context as it relates to theatrical activity, I am struck by the fact that this question has both micro and macro-cosmic implications.

Researchers have long pondered the personality type-performance relationship.

An improved understanding of the factors that contribute towards performance in this industry is a key mandate of management.

Joseph Brodsky’s assertion in Watermark (1992) that Venice ‘is the city of the eye’, providing a sense of security and solace to inhabitants and visitors via the sheer aesthetic force of its surroundings, implicitly raises questions, in the context of the twenty-first-century city, about the performative nature of not only modern-day urban aesthetics but also surveillance in public space, both of which, as phenomena, are dependent on forms of visual observation.
