The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of upper body resistance training on muscle activation, psychophysiology and shooting performance among compound archers. This study involves a pre and post experimental design with experimental groups and control group. Thirty compound archers (Mean age = 19.0 _ 2.3 years) completed the whole study protocol. All parameters were measured at pre-intervention and post- intervention. Electromyography was used to measure muscle activation. Heart rate monitor was used to measure the physiological variable. The revised Competitive State Anxiety-2 was used to measure competitive state anxiety and shooting performance was assessed through the total scores of double 50 meters round. The results of Mixed factorial analysis of variance revealed a significant interaction between the experimental group and control group (p < 0.05) after the intervention for anconeus muscle and self-confidence. The experimental group was found (p = .02 < .05) for mus.....

The present study investigates whether it may be possible to use Vocabulary Levels Test (VLT) and Word Associates Test (WAT) for measuring language proficiency and placement purposes. In so doing, 85 upper-intermediate and 50 lower-intermediate EFL learners took Vocabulary Levels Test (VLT), Word Associates Test (WAT), and Oxford Placement Test (OPT). Results of correlation and regression analyses indicated that (a) Word Associates Test could not predict performance on Oxford Placement Test neither for the lower-intermediate nor the upper-intermediate group, (b) Vocabulary Levels Test could significantly predict performance on Oxford Placement Test for both proficiency groups, and (c) while the 2,000 word level correlated with and predicted performance on Oxford Placement Test for the lower-intermediate group, the 5,000 word level predicted performance on proficiency test for the upper-intermediate group. The findings point to the possibility of using VLT for measuring language profici.....
