Several investigations have noted altered kinetic and neuromuscular landing patterns in adolescent female athletes following various plyometrics programs. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a time-limited plyometrics training program on neuromuscular responses and peak vertical ground reaction force (PVGRF) in Division I collegiate soccer players. Sixteen (8 male, age=l9.38 ± 1.4 yrs, ht= 178.44 ± 8.99 cm, mass =80.38 ± 8.37 kg; 8 female, age=19.75 ± 0.71 yrs, ht=163.83 ± 4.30 cm, mass =62.13 ± 6.29 kg) athletes completed the testing protocol and plyometric training. Seven (3 male, average age=22.00 ± 1.00 yrs, average height=171.88 …

Fungus-grass associations recognized in Virginia from 1995 to 2003 are recorded. Many associations are new to the United States (59), eastern United States (2), and Virginia (21); others extend the known distribution for those previously discovered. These reports contribute to the natural history of Virginia.

(First paragraph) Flexibility is often downplayed as unimportant to fitness. However, flexibility training is imperative to maintain full range of motion (ROM) of joints, particularly in individuals with type 2 diabetes, who may experience limited joint mobility due to glycation of joint structures (1). Maladies such as “frozen shoulder” are common complaints in type 2 diabetes (2).
