The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. THE DEVELOPMENT OF A RELIABLE AND VALID NETBALL INTERMITTENT ACTIVITY TEST A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Sport and Exercise Science at Massey University, Auckland, New Zealand HELEN JOANNE RYAN 2009 i ABSTRACT The purpose of the present investigation was to identify the exercise intensity of netball match play in order to assist in the development of a Netball Intermittent Activity Test (NIAT). A further aim was to assess the criterion validity and the test- retest reliability of the NIAT. Eleven female netball players (21.4 ± 3.1 years, 1.73 ± 0.06 m, 69.3 ± 5.3 kg and 48.4 ± 4.9 ml·kg-1·min–1 mean ± SD, age, height, body mass and & OV 2max, respectively) volunteered to participate in the study. Heart rate data was recorded for all participants from at least two full 60 minute games during Premier Club competition. Individual maximum heart rate values were acquired for all subjects from the performance of the Multistage Fitness Test, and used to transform heart rate recordings into percent maximum heart rate (%HRmax). Patterns in %HRmax were used to indicate positional grouping when developing the NIAT from time motion analysis data. Subjects performed two trials of the NIAT separated by at least seven days.

TRANSCRIBED AND EDITED BY ROBERT NEWSOM UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, IRVINE 2009-10 Not to be reproduced without permission of the Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston, Massachusetts Winslow Family Memorial, Volume IV Editorial material Copyright © 2010 Robert Walker Newsom ___________________________________ All rights reserved. Except for brief quotations in a review, this work, or parts thereof, may not be reproduced without permission from the Massachusetts Historical Society, Boston, Massachusetts.

MARGARET began her own journal prior to her father’s death and her decision to continue his Memorial. So there is some overlap between their portions. And her first entries in her journal are sparse, interrupted by a period of four years’ invalidism, and somewhat uncertain in their purpose or direction. There is also in these opening pages a great deal of material already treated by her father. But after her father’s death, and presumably after she had not only completed the twenty-four blank leaves that were left in it at his death, she also wrote an additional twenty pages before moving over to the present bound volumes, which I shall refer to as volumes four and five.* She does not paginate her own pages. I have supplied page numbers on the manuscript itself and entered these in outlined text boxes at the tops of the transcribed pages.

  • A Different Kind of Where-To-Go- Birding: Ten Favorite Places of the Bird Observer Staff
    A Different Kind of Where-to-go- Birding: Ten Favorite Places of the Bird Observer Staff For this thirtieth-anniversary issue, the editors, recent guest editors, department heads, and various other Bird Observer staff members collaborated on a project to describe their favorite places to watch birds, and why they like them so much. We began by trying to identify and summarize the ten best places to bird in Massachusetts (since that’s where the staff all live), but that quickly proved an impossible task. How could the best places be determined? Who would ever agree with our choices? So we decided to eschew politically charged decisions and concentrate on our favorite places instead. The following pieces are not intended to describe these places in detail, give directions, or provide comprehensive lists of birds seen there. They are short essays on why the particular staff member really likes to bird the place. Of course the authors include avian highlights, but the aim is to also offer insight into the more personal and aesthetic reasons that the selected location is a pleasure to bird. No two authors have gone about their task in the same way, and, indeed, there were few ground mles except to keep it short and personal. So sit back and enjoy the essays. You will quickly find that the staff have described what would generally be considered some of the best birding sites in Massachusetts, although most of them are in the eastern part of the state, an artifact of where the majority of the staff live.
