Interaction of step length and step rate during sprint running
Article Abstract:
A study to check the negative interaction between step length and step rate during sprint running is carried out. The results illustrate that vertical velocity of take-off is the most prominent source of negative interaction but it can be advantageous when the athlete is tired and needs to maintain a higher step rate.

Physical activity and cognitive decline, the role of the apolipoprotein e4 allele
Article Abstract:
This article examines the relationship between exercise, cognitive decline, and the apolipoprotein e4 allele in a sample of aged Dutch men. Findings indicate that subjects who exercised for at least an hour each day and were not carriers of the allele had a significantly lower risk of experiencing cognitive decline.
