The purpose of this study was to compare the isokinetic muscular strength of the knee joint between female volleyball and table tennis players. A total of 27 elite volleyball players and 27 table tennis players participated in the study. This study measured both knee extensor and flexor strengths of volleyball and table tennis players using the isokinetic dynamic test. Peak torque was measured by performing maximal voluntary flexion and extension three times at $60^{\circ}/s$. Volleyball players had higher knee extensor and flexor strengths than table tennis players. No significant difference in both knee strengths was noted in table tennis players. However, volleyball players showed significant differences in both knee strengths. Height and weight showed a positive correlation with knee strength. This study found that volleyball players had greater knee strength than that of table tennis players. We also found that volleyball players have asymmetrical knee strength. Comparison with other sport players is warranted to better understand isokinetic muscular strength of the knee joint.

A total of 26 Korean elite soybean cultivars including 21 certified cultivars was assessed to evaluate genetic diversity and to analyze relationship among them based on 15 SSR markers. Fifteen SSR markers generated a total of 201 alleles. Average number of alleles per SSR marker was 13.4 with a range from 8 to 19. Genetic diversity of 26 cultivars estimated by PIC value ranged from 0.782 to 0.931 with an average of 0.874. PIC value of Satt197 was the highest with 0.931 and Satt141 was the lowest with 0.782 among 15 SSR markers. Cluster analysis based on genetic distances classified 26 soybean cultivars into 3 clusters. Cluster I, II and III included 2, 7 and 17 cultivars, respectively. Average genetic diversity within clusters was 0.769 with a range from 0.720 to 0.799. Average genetic diversity between clusters was 0.813 with a range from 0.725 to 0.857. Genetic diversity was higher between clusters than within clusters. Genetic relationship among clusters was near between I and II, and I and III and far between II and III cluster. All of 26 Korean elite soybean cultivars could be identified by using any of 5 combinations of 2 SSR markers with higher PIC value, i.e, $Satt197+Sat_088$, Satt197+Satt245, $Sat_088+Sat_-036$, $Sat_088+Satt245$ and Satt185+Satt245.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the characteristics of the injuries of the national elite Taekwondo players with the best performance in the international championship competition. Materials and Methods: Fifty-two athletes who got the injury in the 2011 Gyeongju World Taekwondo Championship competition were included in this sturdy. 950 members of national team of 146 countries participated in this game, 1,063 matches were performed. We analyzed the characteristics of the injuries such as injury rate by gender, age, weight class, injured region and injury type. Results: Fifty-two athletes of 950 athletes in 1,063 matches got injured and injury rate was 5.47 per 100 participants and 24.47/1,000 athlete-exposures. Injury rate of female athletes was higher than mail, but there was no significant statistical difference (p=0.512). Injury rate of over 30 years old was 17.39 per 100 participants, and injury rate of over 87 kg in male weight class and 68 to 73kg in female weight class were highest than other groups, but there was no significant statistical difference (p=0.838). Overall injury rate of the lower extremity was 13.17/1,000 A-E, higher than upper extremity or head and neck or trunk, but injury rate of the hand was 5.17/1,000 A-E, highest as a specific injured region, followed by the knee, 4.70/1,000 A-E (p=0.714). Injury rate of the sprain was 10.81/1,000 A-E, highest as an injury type, the second most common injury type was the fracture, 5.40/1,000 A-E in men, and was the contusion, 9.63/1,000 A-E in women (p=0.033). As one of the most serious injury, 4 of 8 fractures were occurred in hand. Conclusion: Overall injury rate of the elite Taekwondo players in 2011 Gyeongju World Taekwondo Championship was 5.47 per 100 participants and 24.46 per 1,000 athlete exposures. Although the most common type of injury was the sprain of the knee and ankle, the fractures were more commonly occurred in hand.

사우디아라비아에서는 한국인들을 부지런하고 성실하며 기술력을 갖춘 엘리트민족이라고 부른다. 그들이 이렇게 생각하는 이유는 1970년대 중동진출 붐이 일면서 우리나라 건설업체들이 숨쉬기 거북할 정도로 뜨겁고 건조한 열사의 사우디아라비아에서 몸사리지 않고 성실한 시공을 했기 때문이다. 또한 사우디에서 주목하는 중요한 공사들을 한국 건설사들이 대부분 성공적으로 수행했을 뿐만 아니라 88서울올림픽, 2002년 한일월드컵 등으로 한국을 보는 시각이 많이 달라졌기 때문이다. 과거 70년대 중동진출 초기 한국 기업들로 이뤄진 컨소시엄에 미국 유럽계 기업이 없다고 퇴짜를 놓았던 사우디 정부는 최근들어 한국기업이 시공 뿐 아니라 주요 자재공급까지도 맡는 수준이 되자 한국기업과 한국인을 대하는 태도가 달라진 것이다. 한화건설과 기계설비 시공업체인 (주)정풍개발(대표 김성언)은 사우디아라비아 얀부지역에서 사우디아라비아인들의 삶의 질 향상을 위해 발전시설 및 담수화플랜트 시공을 하고 있다.

본 연구에서는 과학기술기반 미래전략연구의 세대별 특징을 기준으로 우리나라 정부의 과학기술 주무부처에서 발표한 과학기술기반 미래전략 보고서 및 특징을 검토하였다. 비교분석한 결과 우리나라 과학기술기반 미래전략 연구의 내용은 초기부터 선진국의 그것과 유사한 형태로 진행되었지만, 수행체계는 엘리트 중심으로 국민을 계몽하는 문화로 남아있음을 알 수 있었다. 아울러 최근 과학기술기반 미래전략에서 국가가 주도하여 경제를 발전시키는 패러다임이 점차 약화되는 경향성이 두드러지는 트렌드와 함께, 과거에 비하여 과학기술기반 미래전략 연구의 실행력이 낮아지는 추세를 확인할 수 있었다. 이처럼 최근 과학기술기반 미래전략에서 나타나는 한계점을 극복하기 위해, 과학기술기반 미래전략 연구가 집행실효성을 담보해주는 정책도구로 변신해야함을 피력하였다.

과학상은 과학자 사회를 유지하는 중요한 기제인 보상체계의 한 요소로 과학사회학에서 많은 연구가 이루어졌다. 전통적으로 보상의 기능은 과학적 업적에 대한 인정의 배분으로 간주되었다. 그러나 머튼 이후 여러 학자들은 과학상을 비롯한 보상이 당대의 인지적 규범에 순응하게 만드는 사회적 통제의 과정이기도 하다는 주장을 제기했다. 이 논문은 우리나라 과학상의 역사적 변천과정과 그 특성에 대한 분석을 통해 과학상이 인정의 적절한 배분으로 과학자 사회 내에서 작동했는지 살펴본다. 분석을 통해 드러난 우리나라 과학상의 특성은 다음과 같이 요약된다. 첫째, 우리나라 과학상은 정부에 의해 주도되었고, 상의 가시성의 원천은 정부 또는 국가에서 나온다. 둘째, 과학상은 과학자 사회 내부의 인정 배분이라는 전통적 기능보다 정부의 정책 목표달성을 위한 통제 방식으로 기능하는 경향이 있다. 셋째, 최근 과학상은 연구비와 결합되면서 과학엘리트를 형성하고 그 구조를 강화시키는 하나의 통로가 되고 있다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the batting characteristics in elite baseball players. Seven skilled collegiate players hit the ball which was thrown by a pitching machine linearly and strongly to the center of the field. Time, velocity, angle and pound reaction force variables were measured by using high-speed video cameras and pound reaction force analyzer. The results were as follows: 1. The elite players finished their stride performance in a short time and they stayed longer in a swing phase. The increases in the range of trunk rotation were associated with the delay of the swing phase. 2. The 'take-back' phenomenon in the trunk was showed after the stride phase. 3. The down swing demonstrated powerful line drives. 4. Equivalent body weights were placed on both feet during the ready phase. 95% of the body weights were moved to the rear foot during the stride phase, whereas the body weights were driven to the front foot during the swing phase. 95% of the body weights were placed on the front foot at impact.

This case study identified the effects of joint mobilization on knee pain, isokinetic strength, muscle tone, and muscle stiffness in an elite volleyball player with a knee injury. The subject had experienced cartilage defects of the left knee joint and underwent surgery to correct the condition. The patient complained of continuous pain in the left knee joint in daily life in addition to pain during exercise. The study was conducted from August 5 to 12, 2015 and joint mobilization was applied to the left knee joint for 15 minutes once a day for 8 days. Knee pain was measured using a visual analogue scale, and the concentric peak torque of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles was measured using an isokinetic muscular strength measurement device. The muscle tone and stiffness of the rectus femoris muscle, vastus medialis, and vastus lateralis on the injured side were measured using a myotonometer. All the measurements were conducted before and after the intervention. Joint mobilization was effective in reducing knee pain on the injured side, increasing the concentric peak torque of the quadriceps and hamstring muscles on both sides, and increasing the muscle stiffness of the quadriceps muscle on the injured side. Concentric peak torque of the quadriceps muscle on the injured side increased a great deal as the number of joint mobilizations was increased, largely diminishing the difference in concentric peak torque between the normal side and injured side. On the other hand, joint mobilization was ineffective in improving the hamstring to quadriceps strength ratio on the injured side. While this study suggests that joint mobilization can be an effective intervention to improve the knee pain, isokinetic strength, and muscle stiffness of elite volleyball players, it should be performed alongside training for an appropriate strength ratio.

This study was designed to examine the aerobic capacity and ventilatory response during an incremental exercise in elite high school cyclists. Twelve boys ($17{\pm}1\;yr$, $175{\pm}5\;cm$, $70{\pm}9\;kg$) participated in anthropometric measurements, incremental exercise testing, and pulmonary function tests. During incremental exercise testing using a cycle ergometer, their maximal oxygen uptake ($VO_2max$), maximal power output, ventilation, ventilatory equivalents for oxygen ($V_E/VO_2$) and carbon dioxide ($V_E/VCO_2$), respiratory rate, and tidal volume were measured. Time variables such as inspiratory time (Ti), expiratory time (Te), breathing time (Tb), and inspiratory duty cycle (Ti/Tb), as well as inspiratory flow rate ($V_T$/Ti) were assessed. Pulmonary function of vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in one second ($FEV_1$), $FEV_1$/FVC, and peak expiratory flow were evaluated. Their $VO_2max$, maximal heart rate, and Wmax were $57.5{\pm}3.9\;ml{\cdot}kg^{-1}{\cdot}min^{-1}$, $194.1{\pm}8.6\;beat{\cdot}min^{-1}$, and 452 W, respectively. $VO_2max$ was not related to any anthropometric parameters. Most ventilatory variables progressively increased with exercise intensity. As intensity increased, Ti, Tb, Tb decreased while Ti/Tb was maintained. Below an intensity of 250 W, height, weight, body mass index, and body surface were highly correlated with $V_T$/Ti and Ti/Tb (p<0.05). Collectively, $VO_2max$ appeared to be lower than adult cyclists, suggesting a different pattern of ventilatory control as age advances. Morphological characteristics were not related to $VO_2max$ in the population. Time variables of ventilatory response seemed to be related only at an exercise intensity level of less than 250 W. $V_T$/Ti may be related to exercise endurance capacity, but Ti/Tb was similar to adult cyclists.
