Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess mid- term effect of Kinesio tape on peak power of quadriceps and hamstrings muscles after ACL reconstruction 24 hours after taping. Material: Thirty six ...men who had undergone ACL reconstruction and completed physiotherapy periods (6 months) were assigned to no taping, placebo and taping groups. Peak power was tested before and 24 hours after taping by Isokinetic dynamometry. Data was analyzed by SPSS software 19. ANOVA and post hoc test (LSD) were used for interpretive analysis. Results: The results showed that the effect of Kinesio tape on peak power of quadriceps muscles at velocities of 180°/s and 300°/s was significant. In the hamstring muscles, significant effects were obtained at velocities of 60°/s, 180°/s & 300°/s. Conclusion: Positive impacts of Kinesio tape on muscular peak power among athletes who had ACL reconstruction were observed. Regardless of psychological effect and reducing re - injury fear, Kinesio - tape causes to stabilize and increase effective range of motion of the knee, so it is recommended that in the explosive training, athletes who have ACL reconstruction should use tape to reduce the probability of re-injury and increase muscle power.
Mahdi Amel (1936-87) was a prominent Arab Marxist thinker and Lebanese Communist Party member. This first-time English translation of his selected writings sheds light on his notable contributions to ...the study of capitalism in a colonial context.
"Over the past years, a large number of statistical expressions used as a measure of accuracy, collectively referred to as error functions. These functions use to determine the best fitting data. ...Since accurate adsorption equilibrium information are necessary for the analysis and design of adsorption, error functions are used to valuation the validity of the adsorption mathematical models with experimental results by finding the most appropriate isotherm. Therefore, this overall review provides a definition of a number of common error function and explains the use of these functions in determine optimal adsorption data and chose the right isotherm.
