This study examined the accuracy of predicting back squat and bench press one repetition maximum (1RM) from submaximal average concentric velocity (ACV).Seventeen resistance trained men performed a warm-up and 1RM test on the squat and bench press, in which ACV was assessed on all repetitions. The ACVs during the warmup closest to 1.0 and 0.5 m.s-1 were used in a 2-point linear regression forecast of 1RM and the ACVs established at the loads closest to 20, 50, 70, and 80% of 1RM were used in a 4-point 1RM prediction. An ANOVA indicated significant differences between predicted and actual 1RM for all predictions (p<0.001). Both Bland-Altman and Mountain plots confirmed the findings of the ANOVA as data were not tightly conformed to the respective zero difference lines. Therefore, these results suggest that a linear regression forecast using submaximal ACV does not accurately predict 1RM in the ¬back squat and bench press. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2020. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection

INTRODUCTION: Retrospective video analysis (RVA) has been a popular method of analysis in many research fields, evidenced by autism behavioral research, child play behavior, and caregiver-resident interactions (Baranek, 1999; Gilchrist et al., 2018; Gilmore-Bykovskyi, 2015). Given the widespread use of RVA, the number of studies using it to augment their study designs provide sparse details about the training methods for this level of analysis, making it difficult to maintain a standard level of rigor across different institutions (Haidet, Tate, Divirgilio-Thomas, Kolanowski, & Happ, 2009). METHODS: A structured training program was developed for naïve coders (n=5). The structured training program was composed of five stages with careful introduction of behaviors and regular checkpoints. Statistical Analysis: The output generated by the naïve trainees was analyzed with paired t-tests, Fisher’s Exact Test, ANOVA, percent agreement, and Cohen’s kappa. RESULTS: No difference was found between the different trainees, demonstrating the trainees were trained to a similar level of expertise. The overall recognition of behaviors increased by 2.1% from the first to last training video analysis. Discrete behaviors had a higher level of agreement. CONCLUSIONS: The structured training program demonstrated a small increase in the recognition of behaviors, with a higher recognition in the derived MDS-UPDRS behaviors.

Within the healthcare system, nurses, are involved in many critical steps of the patient care process such as surgery triaging, post-procedure recovery monitoring and handoff release to a caregiver. A significant portion of their time is spent on the hospital floors where patients recover from their medical procedures. In today’s healthcare environments, multiple devices – typically monitors, ventilators, and infusion pumps – are used during said patient recovery process. Health equipment manufacturers often add alarms to medical devices, which serve a variety of purposes, ranging from simple notifications to warnings and alerts about potential hazards that require rapid action. In typical hospital units, several types of medical devices that monitor a variety of parameters based on patient and nurses/assistants needs. Many devices have similar alarm tones, regardless of risk levels. A typical nurse will attend to multiple patients, and the number of alarms that require attention place tremendous demands on nurses’ cognition, which causes enormous alarm fatigue. Alarm fatigue is not a new phenomenon and is very common in other industries, such as chemical processing, and nuclear power. The additional stress and burden of false alarms and non-actionable alarms is also troublesome. Many for-profit companies have developed commercial alarm management tools and aids to combat these problems and the rapid adoption of smart phones and tablets in healthcare has made alarm management more mobile and visual. However, even after these advances, the number of deaths and adverse events are still at an unacceptable level. The purpose of this study to establish that the current training methods used by various hospitals are inadequate and to explore the effects of rigorous one-on-one training and metacognitive intervention in managing alarm related adverse events. This study also identifies deficiencies in the current training methods and assesses the impact of individualizing alarm threshold settings on alarm workload, response and error rates.

Anotation Title: Managing the training process in bodybuilding This thesis describes the sport of bodybuilding and its training process. It also describes aspects of managing the training process and based on own research determines what impact the training process is applied to changes in the state of training and performance. There is also considering the impact of specific training methods and intensification. In the research of this thesis, we used different testing methods. We performed functional tests, anthropometric measurements and biochemical tests. Based on these tests, we studied the effect of training programs for performance in bodybuilding. We found that the use of specific methods and intensification has a significant influence on the performance of bodybuilding. We also found that effective management of training process has an overall positive effect on performance status in the bodybuilding sport.

SUMMARRY In hodiernal primary class meet the schoolchild who have the different ability, different practice chance, the schoolchild who have different training requirements. The heterogeneous group is formed in that variety of individual differences and requirements and necessity of special training are showed up. In that group conceptualize situation, when teacher must satisfy different individual requirements during the short lesson time. Galkiene (2003, 2005), Juozaitytė (2003), Melienė, Ruškus, Elijošienė (2003), Dabrišienė, Narkevičienė (2002), Kaffemanienė, Lusver (2004) point up that successful study of child who have special training requirements in heterogeneous group asociate with necessity of new pedagogical technologies. Though the problem of training methods was researched generally enough, but in scientific aspect it is not enough answered what‘s the training technologies dominate in hodiernal class of heterogeneous primary training, what‘s the training methods are invoked in class, where child who have special training requirements are studing. The subject of research ��� training methods in heterogeneous primary training classes.

The highly competitive environment in which businesses operate today requires a skilful workforce in every organisation in order to remain a successful player in the competitive game of the industry. One of the main problems which occur in the workplace is the lack of training. A large number of employees can appear dissatisfied (Heinemann and Greenberger, 2002) due to being assigned responsibilities without-having the right knowledge and skills in that area. Training is an essential process which should be cautiously designed and implemented within all firms. The overall aim of this dissertation is to assess the importance of training- in work field.For many years now human capital has been regarded as vital for the efficient functioning of an organisation because of its contribution in improving productivity, business performance and economic growth (Schultz, 1961). Therefore it is important to invest in human resources through training (Lucas, 1988) in order to improve the competitive position of the firm, and because of the enhanced quality, innovation, continual increased productivity and in turn improved profitability that can be achieved through this (Taylor and Davies, 2004).Throughout this research the training system in Hilton Hotel will be examined and appropriate recommendations for a more effective training system will be given where appropriate. The overall aim of this study is to assess the importance of training in hospitality industry.

This paper is prepared in two sections. The first section is a summation of the opinion of leading educators, and others, in the area of vocational industrial education, as regards management, labor and the public schools' responsibility for the administration of an efficient program of training apprentices for the skilled trades. The second section--which is an appendix to the paper--is prepared in the form of a handbook. The objective of this handbook is an attempt to follow the thinking of these persons by condensing and coordinating the essential ideas of their writings and experiences and compiling a practical, usable teacher training guide for instructors of apprenticeship classes. The specific objective of the handbook is to improve instruction. It will be used for both pre-service and in-service teacher training. / Typescript. / "August, 1961." / "Submitted to the Graduate Council of Florida State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science." / Advisor: Edward K.

This study examined the relationship between average concentric velocity (ACV) and repetitions in reserve (RIR) in the back squat, bench press, and deadlift. Fourteen resistance-trained men performed three experimental sessions (one for each exercise), which was comprised of 4 sets to failure at 80% of one-repetition maximum. The ACV was recorded on every repetition of every set and cross-referenced with RIR. The main findings of this study were that RIR was a significant predictor of ACV for all three exercises; the mean set ACV was significantly different between exercises (p<0.001); and the relationship between RIR and ACV was set-dependent (p<0.001). However, the within-exercise difference in ACV from set-to-set is unlikely to be practically significant as all of these ACV differences were below the threshold of 0.06 m.s-1, which is the smallest worthwhile change in ACV. Therefore, these results suggest that the RIR/ACV relationship is exercise-specific, and is stable from set-to-set. / Includes bibliography. / Thesis (M.S.)--Florida Atlantic University, 2020. / FAU Electronic Theses and Dissertations Collection
