STRUCTURE OF DIFFERENT INDICATORS FOR EVALUATING ISOMETRIC LEG EXTENSORS EXPLOSIVE FORCE IN TOP LEVEL ATHLETES
"The aim of this work was to establish factore structure of different indicators force-time curve for evaluating the leg extensors explosiveness regarding different sports and both genders. The research included 378 examinees divided into 8 groups based on gender and training process distinctiveness they have been subjected to.

FREQUENCY OF ANAEROBIC POWER AMONG BRAZILIANS BASED ON
DERMATOGLYPHICS AND R577X POLYMORPHISM OF THE ACTN3 PROTEIN

"Dermatoglyphics and analysis of the Alpha-Actinin-3 gene are evaluative instruments frequently used to identify the sportive and general population profile associated with physical performance. This research aimed to determine, based on dermatoglyphic characteristics and the R577X polymorphism of Alpha-Actinin-3, the percentage of people in the State of Paraíba/Brazil, with unfavorable characteristics to excelling in sports that require anaerobic power."
