In describing and accounting for the lives of the Religious Right, which we define simply as religious conservatives with a considerable involvement in political activity, the book and the series tell the story primarily by focusing on leading episodes in the movement's history, including, but not limited to, the groundwork laid by Billy Graham in his relationships with presidents and other prominent political leaders; the resistance of evangelical and other Protestants to the candidacy of the Roman Catholic John F. Kennedy; the rise of what has been called the New Right out of the ashes of Barry Goldwater's defeat in 1964; a battle over sex education in Anaheim, California, in the mid-1960's; a prolonged cultural war over textbooks in West Virginia in the early 1970's — and that is a battle that has been fought less violently in community after community all over the country; the thrill conservative Christians felt over the election of a «born - again» Christian to the Presidency in 1976 and the subsequent disappointment they experienced when they found out that Jimmy Carter was, of all things, a Democrat; the rise of the Moral Majority and its infatuation with Ronald Reagan; the difficulty the Religious Right has had in dealing with abortion, homosexuality and AIDS; Pat Robertson's bid for the presidency and his subsequent launching of the Christian Coalition; efforts by Dr. James Dobson and Gary Bauer to win a «civil war of values» by changing the culture at a deeper level than is represented by winning elections; and, finally, by addressing crucial questions about the appropriate relationship between religion and politics or, as we usually put it, between church and state.

Physicists at the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory compared similar materials and returned to a long - established rule of electron movement in their quest to explain the phenomenon of extremely large magnetoresistance (XMR), in which the application of a magnetic field to a material results in a remarkably large change in electrical resistance.

The material — known as 1T» - WTe2 — bridges two flourishing fields of research: that of so - called 2 - D materials, which include monolayer materials such as graphene that behave in different ways than their thicker forms; and topological materials, in which electrons can zip around in predictable ways with next to no resistance and regardless of defects that would ordinarily impede their movement.

It consists of the inner core muscles, such as the diaphragm, pelvic floor and transverse abdominus, which lie deep inside the abdomen and are the first to engage to protect the spine during heavy resistance training; the outer core muscles, including the abs, lats, spinal erectors, glutes and hip flexors, that generate movement and have an important stability function during high - speed activities.

The first refers to a resistance which doesn't vary through the range of movement, and the second requires different degrees of force to be applied to the target muscle, thus pushing the muscle to work a lot harder to complete the trajectory of movement.

When you use assisted pull - up machines, they don't make use of your upper back muscles which have a role to stabilize your body, but when you use resistance bands they help you recuperate, adding momentum to the upward movement of the pull - up (concentric part), which is the hardest.

When using free weights, which provide consistent resistance, the initial muscle force leads to the generation of greater momentum throughout the movement and that means less muscle activity (since this momentum assists in moving the weight) and a reduced training effect.

If you are over the age of 50, one study suggests that you can get the best results from combining resistance and aerobic training, which could involve any type of exercise ranging from HIIT (High - Intensity Interval Training), such as various circuit training sessions to dynamic yoga, which mixes strength building exercises like push - ups and planks with dance - like movements.

Making that connection between movement training and real life is at the core of the ACE Integrated Fitness Training ® (ACE IFT ®) Model, the Functional Movement and Resistance Training component of which provides a framework for developing stability or mobility as appropriate in a specific area of the body (phase 1), reintegrating it into a full - body movement (phase 2), adding external load and creating a stimulus for strength gains (phase 3) and increasing movement speed to develop bodily control and power (phase 4).

While squats can strengthen your adductors, to really zero in on your inner thighs Trink recommends performing lateral lunges and exercise band movements in which the thighs move together against resistance.

The Nordic hamstring curl allows coaches to load the ECCENTRIC portion of the lift, which is key to increasing the tensile strength and resistance to strain during explosive movements where the hips and quadriceps kick into full force mode.

The only difference is that instead of promoting relaxation to reach your maximum range of movement as you do in passive stretching in isometric stretching you deliberately contract your muscles against a form of resistance for a number of seconds (normally between 8 and 10) to deliberately tire out the muscles and then when you relax you have a short window of opportunity in which you can stretch further before the stretch reflex reasserts itself.

He loves jump training because it forces you to keep accelerating throughout the whole movement, just like lifts which incorporate accommodating resistance like bands, chains and pneumatic equipment Keiser pulleys.

Wheel misalignment increases the resistance of the tires to roll in the direction of vehicle movement, which requires extra engine power to overcome and more fuel to be consumed.
