Abstract

The study objective was to examine the effects of three days of sleep restriction on maximal jump performance and joint coordination. Eleven elite cyclists obtained a one-week baseline of habitual sleep then restricted sleep to 4 h/night (SR) for three nights assessed through self-report and actigraphy. Pre and post-intervention measures were a box drop maximal vertical jump with 3D motion capture to assess physical performance and biomechanical changes, and Psychomotor Vigilance Task (PVT) assessed changes in response time. Associations between biomechanical, physical, and cognitive performance measures were assessed. Participants restricted reported sleep from 7.4 ± 0.5 h/night at baseline to 4.0 ± 0.2 h/night and actigraphy indicated 6.7 ± 0.7 to 3.7 ± 0.2 h/night. Following SR, jump height decreased (0.44 ± 0.09 vs. 0.42 ± 0.10 m, p = 0.02, g = 0.21). Hip sagittal/knee frontal (Δ15.5°, p = 0.04, g = 0.40) and hip frontal/knee frontal (Δ11.0°, p < 0.01, g = 0.44) plane coordination variability increased after SR. Hip sagittal/knee frontal plane coordination variability after SR was associated with increasingly slower PVT response time (r = 0.63, p = 0.03). These findings suggest SR for three days decreased maximal jump performance. SR increased joint coordination variability and was associated with greater impairment in response time. SR leads to deviations from preferred movement patterns, which may have implications for decrements in athlete performance and increased injury risk.

Abstract

ObjectiveWe hypothesized that professional football teams would perform better than anticipated during games occurring close to their circadian peak in performance.DesignWe reviewed the past 40 years of evening and daytime professional football games between west coast and east coast United States teams. In order to account for known factors influencing football game outcomes we compared the results to the point spread which addresses all significant differences between opposing teams for sports betting purposes. One sample t-tests, Wilcoxon signed ranked tests, and linear regression were performed. Comparison to day game data was included as a control.SettingAcademic medical center.ParticipantsN/A.InterventionsN/A.ResultsThe results were strongly in favor of the west coast teams during evening games against east coast teams, with the west coast teams beating the point spread about twice as often (t = 3.95, P < 0.0001) as east coast teams. For similar daytime game match-ups, we observed no such advantage.ConclusionsSleep and circadian physiology have profound effects on human function including the performance of elite athletes. Professional football players playing close to the circadian peak in performance demonstrate a significant athletic advantage over those who are playing at other times. Application of this knowledge is likely to enhance human performance.

Abstract

The relationship between sleep duration, sleep quality, and race completion time during each stage of a 3-day ultra-endurance triathlon (stage 1: 10-km swim, 146-km cycle; stage 2: 276-km cycle; and stage 3: 84.4-km run) was investigated. Seventeen triathletes partook in sleep analysis throughout the ultra-endurance multiday triathlon using an actigraphy wristband. The participants wore the band to record objective sleep outcomes for approximately 4 days (1–2 d prerace, 3 race days, and 1 d postrace), except while racing. The total sleep time (TST; prerace: 414.1 [95.3] min, prestage 1: 392.2 [138.3] min, prestage 2: 355.6 [62.5] min, and prestage 3: 299.7 [107.0] min) significantly decreased over time (P <.05). Significant Pearson moment–product correlations were found between TST and subsequent race–day performance for race stage 1 (r = −.577; P =.019) and stage 3 (r = −.546; P =.035), with further analysis revealing that TST explained 33% and 30% of the variation in performance for stages 1 and 3, respectively. During a 3-day ultra-endurance triathlon, the TST was reduced and had a significant negative correlation to exercise performance, indicating that sleep loss was associated with slower performances. Sleep onset latency, wake episodes, and sleep efficiency did not significantly change over the course of this investigation, which may stem from the close proximity of exercise to sleep.

Abstract

Purpose: Review selected sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and treatment recommendations for pharmacists and providers practicing in the acute care setting. Summary: In 2015, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published an updated guideline on the treatment of STIs with an emphasis on prevention and new diagnostic strategies to combat the growing problem of STIs in the United States. Despite this guidance, the incidence of infection has continued to grow. In October 2016, an in-depth analysis reported that 20 million new infections occur annually in the United States. With this growing burden of disease, it is pertinent that health-care providers optimize their treatment strategies to improve upon the management of STIs. Focusing on identification of asymptomatic- and symptomatic-infected persons, treatment, education, effective follow-up, and counseling for patients and sexual partners, emergency medicine pharmacists and providers can help minimize the negative long-term health consequences of STIs. Conclusion: In the emergency department setting, clinical pharmacists and providers can play a crucial role in preventing and treating STIs and should continue to expand and keep current their knowledge of this topic.

Author

Spanos, Nicholas P., Pawlak, Anne E., Mah, Christopher D., and D'Eon, Joyce L.

Abstract

A total of 46 male and 36 female right-handers were assessed on three measures of left-moving, as well as on hypnotic susceptibility, and several measures of imaginal ability. The three left-moving indices intercorrelated significantly. However, none of these indices correlated significantly with hypnotic susceptibility or imaginal ability variables in either sex.

46. A Multivariate Study of Hypnotic Susceptibility

Author

Spanos, Nicholas P., D'Eon, Joyce L., Pawlak, Anne E., Mah, Christopher D., and Ritchie, Gary

Abstract

Twelve variables previously shown to predict hypnotic susceptibility were factor, analyzed. Six of them loaded on a common factor labeled “a positive set toward, imagining.” The items from two hypnotic susceptibility scales were also factor, analyzed, and fell into three factors (one “cognitive” and two motor factors)., Multiple regression analyses using the susceptibility scales and also the three, susceptibility factors as criterion variables indicated that most of the predicted, variance was accounted for by the predictor variables that loaded on the, “imaginative set” factor. Many of the predictor variables did not contribute, significantly to the prediction of the susceptibility measures. Moreover, a number of, predictors, that purportedly assess similar processes, failed to intercorrelate, significantly. Methodological and theoretical implications of these findings are, discussed.

NATIONAL STANDARD REFERENCE DATA SYSTEM, King, Edward G, Mah, Alla D, Pankratz, L B, NATIONAL STANDARD REFERENCE DATA SYSTEM, King, Edward G, Mah, Alla D, and Pankratz, L B

Abstract

The principal purpose of this volume on thermodynamic properties of copper and its inorganic compounds is to supply information that can be used by the extractive metallurgist as a basis for improving existing processes or for establishing new ones. However, for the sake of completeness, all relevant data on copper compounds, through June 1971, have been critically reviewed and evaluated. As a result, properties for 159 copper-containing substances have been incorporated into the compilation. Thus, the work can be used as a guide also for other areas of thermochemical research. The compilation is divided into several sections. The first section gives enthalpy of formation, Gibbs energy of formation, and entropy of substances at 298 K. The second section gives tabular values of properties of compounds as a function of temperature. Included are heat capacity, entropy, Gibbs energy function, enthalpy relative to 298 K, enthalpy of formation, Gibbs energy of formation, and equilibrium constant of formation. The third section gives data for selected chemical reactions over ranges of temperature, with emphasis on reactions of metallurgical interest. Tabular values are given for enthalpy of reaction, Gibbs energy of reaction, and equilibrium constant of reaction., INCRA Monograph II. The Metallurgy of Copper.

Abstract

Purpose. This study examines factors that affect customer lifetime value (CLV) in fast-food restaurants (FFRs) in Jordan. These factors are relational benefits, brand experiences, service quality (SQ), satisfaction, trust and commitment. Design/methodology/approach. An online survey was collected from a sample of 503 respondents. The authors used SPSS to test the constructs’ relationships and analyse the data. SmartPLS was used to test the hypotheses. Findings. In contrast to previous studies, not all dimensions of brand experiences and relational benefits had a significant and positive influence on relationship marketing outcomes (satisfaction, trust and commitment). On the other hand, results demonstrated that SQ had a significant and positive influence on relationship marketing outcomes. Furthermore, research reveals that satisfaction, trust and commitment significantly and positively influenced CLV. Practical implications. Those FFRs that seek to enhance CLV should build solid and sustainable bonds with their customers. This paper concludes by stating its implications, its limitations and the opportunities available for future research. Originality/value. This study, which is unique in the Middle East, includes essential strategies for managing customer relationship that can be universally applied to improve customer benefits and maximise the performance of businesses.

Abstract

Purpose. This study examines factors that affect customer lifetime value (CLV) in fast-food restaurants (FFRs) in Jordan. These factors are relational benefits, brand experiences, service quality (SQ), satisfaction, trust and commitment. Design/methodology/approach. An online survey was collected from a sample of 503 respondents. The authors used SPSS to test the constructs’ relationships and analyse the data. SmartPLS was used to test the hypotheses. Findings. In contrast to previous studies, not all dimensions of brand experiences and relational benefits had a significant and positive influence on relationship marketing outcomes (satisfaction, trust and commitment). On the other hand, results demonstrated that SQ had a significant and positive influence on relationship marketing outcomes. Furthermore, research reveals that satisfaction, trust and commitment significantly and positively influenced CLV. Practical implications. Those FFRs that seek to enhance CLV should build solid and sustainable bonds with their customers. This paper concludes by stating its implications, its limitations and the opportunities available for future research. Originality/value. This study, which is unique in the Middle East, includes essential strategies for managing customer relationship that can be universally applied to improve customer benefits and maximise the performance of businesses.
