Competition for feed affects the feeding behavior of growing dairy heifers.

30 Jul 2009 The objective of this study was to determine how competition for feed influences the feeding behavior of young, growing dairy heifers. Thirty-six prepubertal Holstein heifers (231.5 +/- 12.1 d old, weighing 234.7 +/- 24.0 kg), consuming a total ... Read more...

Modulation of the motor area activity during observation of a competitive game.

13 Jul 2009 Watching competitive games is a pervasive entertainment in humans and likely to be facilitated by our social cognitive abilities. We investigated the brain activity during observation of a competitive game by using near-infrared spectroscopy. The ... Read more...

Core temperature responses and match running performance during intermittent-sprint exercise competition in warm conditions.

29 Jun 2009 This study investigated the thermoregulatory responses and match running performance of elite team sport competitors (Australian Rules football) during preseason games in a warm environment. During 2 games in dry bulb temperatures above 29 degrees C ... Read more...
