Exercise Science & Anatomy
The science of anatomy began long before the invention of the CAT scan, but it couldn't have been done without the inventions of one of the greatest artistic and scientific minds in history, Leonardo da Vinci. Nor could exercise science have become an area of serious investigation and discovery without the work of Leonardo and his successor, Vesalius.
Da Vinci was born April 15, 1452, in Vinci, Italy, just outside Florence died on May 2, 1519 in Cloux, France. When he was a teenager, he thought it would be cool, legend says, to paint a really creepy head.

The authors were trying to develop a system of estimating and indexing muscle fatigue rates during static muscle contraction. The results of this study indicated that estimations were reasonably successful with some limitations that were noted. One limitation was that the study neglected muscle recovery since the experiment was performed in a lab under controlled conditions and the muscles were able to fully recover. However, in the real world
Silk and tassel look similar but the two structures are functionally different. The NPR interviewer uses them synonymously without correction by the farmer. However, the farmer is correct in emphasizing the importance of the silk and tassel, the stigma and the male inflorescence, in the reproduction of the corn.
