ASSOCIATION BETWEEN 90O PUSH-UP AND CARDIORESPIRATORY FITNESS: CROSS-SECTIONAL EVIDENCE OF PUSH-UP AS A TRACTABLE TOOL FOR PHYSICAL FITNESS SURVEILLANCE IN YOUTH

Association between 90o push-up and cardiorespiratory fitness: cross-sectional evidence of push-up as a tractable tool for physical fitness surveillance in youth

Abstract Background Despite being associated with health outcomes like abdominal adiposity, depression, anxiety, and cardiovascular disease risk among youth, largely, clinicians still do not adopt physical fitness testing.A clarion call for increased surveillance was previously issued, in order to address the US population-level lack of knowledge r

Capturing the crack process of the Antarctic A74 iceberg with Sentinel-1 based offset tracking and radar interferometry techniques

In this paper, the crack process of the A74 iceberg is carefully monitored in different aspects by using synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images.First, a offset tracking strategy is designed to retrieve the temporal evolution of the glacier velocity field.Secondly, a signal coherence factor (SCF) is proposed to analyze the interferometric signals.The
