Data from two separate experiments conducted to ascertain the optimum protocol for a maximum anaerobic work output test on the bicycle ergometer indicated that the test duration needs to be approximately forty seconds and the optimal frictional resistance five to six kilograms. (MB)

Research suggests that knowledge of the results of their performance facilitates children's development in motor tasks. (JD)

It was concluded that somatotype and body composition was not highly related to physical performance. (JD)

General applications, descriptive studies, and cost/feasibility issues. (DAG)

Study of the effect of a supplemental carbohydrate intake for seven elite ice hockey players before and during a game demonstrated that the supplement could result in less glycogen usage per distance skated, which had important implications for athletes who may participate in more than one game a day.
