Growth Pattern of Male and Female Kejobong Goats in Rural Areas by Endang Purbowati, Edy Rianto

“…The regression analysis and correlation between age and body weight in male and female Kejobong goats showed that the equation of the regression in the male goats was Y = - 0.040 X2 + 2.662 X + 1.105 and that in the female goats was Y = -0.019 X2 + 1.566 X + 4.665. The correlation coefficients (r) between age and body weight in male and female Kejobong goats were 0.97 and 0.90, respectively, while the coefficients of determination (r2) were 93.50% and 80.60%, respectively. …”

CLASSIFICATIONS OF TECHNICAL MEANS OF PHYSICAL TRAINING AND ASSESSMENT OF THEIR EFFECTIVENESS BASED ON BIOMECHANICAL PRINCIPLES OF STRUCTURING MOTOR ACTIONS by M. B. Sotsky

“…As a result, digital indexing of the above targets was proposed which allows to group and present the technical means in the form of matrix depending on the combination of the indexes and to determine promising trends in novel developments finding the blank areas in the matrixIn accordance with the proposed classification by the example of technical means of strength training, the concept of the biomechanical efficiency of the devices is introduced for the first time, for which specific numerical coefficients were introduced such as spatiality, inertia and energy dissipation.The paper presents a qualitative analysis of the typical means of strength training in terms of biomechanical efficiency, which showed the prospect of engineering technical devices with many degrees of freedom using the friction method of creating the resistance when training.…”
