  • Linguistic Variation of the American Circus
    Abstract http://www.soa.ilstu.edu/anthropology/theses/burns/index.htm Through the "Front Door" to the "Backyard": Linguistic Variation of the American Circus Lisa Burns Illinois State University Anthropology Department Dr. James Stanlaw, Advisor May 1, 2003 Abstract The language of circus can be interpreted through two perspectives: the Traditional American Circus and the New American Circus. There is considerable anthropological importance and research within the study of spectacle and circus. However, there is a limited amount of academic literature pertaining to the linguistics and semiotics of circus. Through participant observation and interviewing, of both circus and non-circus individuals, data will be acquired and analyzed. Further research will provide background information of both types of circuses. Results indicate that an individual's preference can be determined based on the linguistic and semiotic terms used when describing the circus. Introduction Throughout my life, I have always been intrigued by the circus. As a result, I joined the Gamma Phi Circus, here at Illinois State University, in order to obtain a better understanding of circus in our culture. A brief explanation of the title is useful in understanding my paper. I chose the title "Through the 'Front Door' to the 'Backyard'" because "front door" is circus lingo for the doors that a person goes through on entering the tent. The word "backyard" refers to the area in which behind the tent where all the people in the production of the circus park their trailers. This title encompasses the range of information that I have gathered from performers, to directors, to audience members.

It is advised that a chart be kept for each child to enable both the teacher and child to see progress, and to motivate the child to procede on an individual basis. The program is said to comprise five areas: muscular strength, dynamic balance, body awareness, spatial awareness, and temporal awareness. Activities in each area are presented in terms of teacher instructions, objective, concepts, materials required, and questions or directions to be given by teachers. Noted is inclusion of a pretest/posttest and warm up exercises.

  • The Effects of a Six-Week Ballistic and Plyometric Training Programme on Female Golfers’ Drive Performance and Neuromuscular Characteristics
    The effects of a six-week ballistic and plyometric training programme on female golfers’ drive performance and neuromuscular characteristics Anita Ya Ting Chau A thesis submitted to Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Sport and Exercise 2018 School of Sport and Recreation Supervisors: Dr. Adam Storey Dr. Scott R. Brown Abstract Golf-specific resistance training has become an additional method to increase drive distance and subsequent drive performance in recent years. However, the methods and subsequent benefits to such specific training modalities has thus far been isolated to male golfers. Female golfers may have differential outcomes from using identical golf-specific resistance training programmes to that of their male counterparts. To explore this unknown question in further detail, three separate investigations were undertaken within this thesis. Firstly, a systematic review was undertaken of the current literature pertaining to the effects of resistance training on golf drive performance and neuromuscular characteristics. Various types of resistance training protocols are reported within the golf literature with the intention to increase club head speed (CHS) to further drive distance. Researchers in the majority of these studies have recruited male golfers and have shown clear improvements in CHS. However, to date, no researchers have examined the effects of ballistic and plyometric training for female golfers. Secondly, ten skilled female golfers (HCP ≤ 10) were recruited to determine the reliability of an inertial measurement unit (IMU) to measure the rotational velocity of the lead wrist in the golf swing to use as an indicator for drive performance. Test-retest reliability was assessed over two separate occasions (separated by a minimum of six days).

Sometimes though-especially if you're a powerlifter, strongman or competitive athlete-they can stretch on for weeks or months and even bring your training to halt. Some strength athletes though, have found lasting relief for formerly debilitating injuries through a technique known as Active Release Techniques (ART). ART is a soft-tissue chiropractic technique that specifically targets the injured area. Feedback on ART has so far been very positive. Because of the way it's administered some people might say that ART therapy is a "massage," but make no mistake- it's not. ART therapy is a movement-based technique that is actually patented.
