Nationalist–Feminine Bifurcation: The Construction of National Morality Through Gender Regimes

Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article introduces the concept of nationalist–feminine bifurcation to analyse how nationalist–populist regimes construct moral orders through gendered representations. It explores how women are simultaneously portrayed as the idealized ‘national woman’ and the excluded ‘moral threat’. Through a comparative discourse analysis of four cases—

Different profiles of the aerial start phase in front crawl

, 2010
This study analyzed the kinematics and kinetics (jumping ability) of the aerial start phase in 11 elite front crawl sprinters. The aim was to determine whether a particular start technique leads to a short 15 m start time or whether several start ...

The Formosan Black Bear and Taiwanese Nationalism

Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Building on scholarship that situates nations and nationalism within colonial relations, this article examines nationalism in settler‐colonial Taiwan amid China's colonial claim to sovereignty. Drawing on interviews, conservation documents and popular representations, we show how the Formosan black bear became a national symbol of resistance ...

Spaceflight and sport science: Physiological monitoring and countermeasures for the astronaut–athlete on Mars exploration missions

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Long‐duration spaceflight impacts essentially every system in the human body, resulting in multisystem deconditioning that might impair the health and performance of crewmembers, particularly on long‐duration exploration missions to Mars. In this review, we apply the sport science model of athlete monitoring, testing and training to astronauts;

The correlation between jump height and mechanical power in a countermovement jump is artificially inflated [PDF]

, 2020
The countermovement jump is commonly used to assess an athlete’s neuromuscular capacity. The aim of this study was to identify the mechanism behind the strong correlation between jump height and mechanical power in a countermovement jump.

Jumping on the moon as a potential exercise countermeasure

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract The Moon's gravitational field strength (17% Earth's gravity) may facilitate the use of bodyweight jumping as an exercise countermeasure against musculoskeletal and cardiovascular deconditioning in reduced gravity settings. The present study characterised the acute physiological and kinetic responses to bodyweight jumping in simulated Lunar ...

ATHLETIC: An exoskeleton countermeasure exercise device for resistive and plyometric training in deep‐space missions

Experimental Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract Prolonged exposure to weightlessness leads to loss of muscle and bone mass. Therefore, astronauts on board the International Space Station (ISS) currently perform mandatory daily exercises. ISS missions usually last 6 months, and future missions will become significantly longer when going, for example, to Mars.

Does the 10% Asymmetry Threshold Matter? Effects of Lower-Limb Asymmetries on Jumping and Agility in Basketball

Journal of Functional Morphology and Kinesiology
Background: Lower-limb asymmetry is linked to injury risk and may impair performance, yet evidence in basketball is inconsistent. A commonly cited 10% threshold is proposed as critical, but its practical relevance in basketball-specific tasks remains ...
