It can be measured as strides per minute, strides per hour, etc. In other words, it can be measured as 98 strides per 100 meters or 35 strides per 40 yards, etc. In this speed training blog, I will use both types of stride frequency measurements (in “time” and in “distance”) to help you understand the importance of increasing your stride frequency exercises to run faster.", "First, let’s define the two terms. Stride length is the distance the center of mass (generally the hips) travels during one running stride.

Stride frequency is the number of steps taken in a given amount of time or over a given distance.", "In the context of running, speed is composed of two variables: stride frequency and stride length. These two variables are specifically related to our definition of speed, which is distance over time. Stride frequency relates to the time factor, while stride length relates to the distance factor.

This depends on the nature of the plates involved", "When one plate is composed of oceanic lithosphere and the other is composed of continental lithosphere, the denser oceanic plate is subducted, often forming an orogenic belt and associated mountain range.

The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order of these bases is what determines DNA's instructions, or genetic cod", "1 A gene is a small section of DNA that contains the instructions for a specific molecule, usually a protein. 2 The purpose of genes is to store information. 3 Each gene contains the information required to build specific proteins needed in an organism. Genes are small sections of DNA within the genome that code for proteins. They contain the instructions for our individual characteristics – like eye and hair colour. 1 A gene is a small section of DNA that contains the instructions for a specific molecule, usually a protein. 2 The purpose of genes is to store information. 3 Each gene contains the information required to build specific proteins needed in an organism. 4 The 5 ... G", "In the mRNA, Uracil is substituted for thymine as the base complementary to adenine. Since the other strand of the DNA has bases complementary to the template strand, the mRNA has the same sequence of bases at the upper strand of DNA shown above (with U substituted for T) , which is called the coding strand. The RNA to which the information is transcribed is messenger RNA (mRNA). The process associated with RNA polymerase is to unwind the DNA and build a strand of mRNA by placing on the growing mRNA molecule the base complementary to that on the template strand of the DNA.", "Deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA): Deoxyribonucleic acid (/diˌɒksiˌraɪbɵ.njuːˌkleɪ.ɨk ˈaesɪd/ , ˈæsɪd OR, dna is a nucleic acid that contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living (organisms with the exception OF rna). viruses Genes are made from a long molecule called DNA, which is copied and inherited across generations. DNA is made of simple units that line up in a particular order within this large molecule. The order of these units carries genetic information, similar to how the order of letters on a page carry information.", "The sequence of bases in DNA operates as a true code in that it contains the information necessary to build a protein expressed in a four-letter alphabet of bases which is transcribed to mRNA and then translated to the twenty-amino-acid alphabet necessary to build the protein. They are formally matched to follow the genetic code. The building blocks for proteins are the 20 amino acids used in life, and each is attached to a specific transfer RNA molecule so that protein building materials are available in the intracellular medium.", "The basic unit of structure for a DNA molecule is the nucleotide. A nucleotide is composed of a phosphate, a deoxyribose sugar molecule, and a nitrogen-containing base (A, T, C, or G). The instructions carried on DNA are used to make proteins from amino acids in the cytoplasm.", "DNA is a complex molecule that is found in all living organisms. Constructing DNA models is a great way to learn about DNA structure, function and replication. DNA contains the genetic information for the reproduction of life. A nucleotide is composed of a phosphate, a deoxyribose sugar molecule, and a nitrogen-containing base (A, T, C, or G).

The red rectangle shows the position of the body for the person during pulsed electromagnetic field treatment. The actual pulsed electromagnetic field energy for this PEMF cylindrical coil is for the major part local and inside the cylinder coil and its efficacy does not extend outside the cylindrical coil. The therapy is local in the area where the coil is placed and such systems are unsuitable for whole body therapy", "In 2004, pulsed electromagnetic field system was approved by FDA as an adjunct to cervical fusion surgery in patients at high risk for non-fusion. Today, there is a wide variety of professional and consumer PEMF devices that are sold on the internet as wellness devices. Weak magnetic stimulation of the brain is often called transcranial pulsed electromagnetic field (tPEMF) therapy. Early hints of efficacy of tPEMF as antidepressant came from observations that bipolar patients improved their mood after a magnetic resonance spectrogram.", "To test whether the coil is working, place the PEMF device on a very slow frequency, the Delta Wave in the Brain Wave Series. Then place a compass near the coils, and see if the needle gets deflected by the pulse. If you choose a higher frequency, the magnetic strength is not high enough to deflect the compass needle. And what coil size is recommended (10, 20 or 40 inch) and what does the different lengths do in regards to treatment (I’m very new to the science part here). Thankyou and a great website. Can’t wait to build my own pemf.", "Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMFT), also called pulsed magnetic therapy, pulse magnetotherapy, or PEMF, is a reparative technique most commonly used in the field of orthopedics for the treatment of non-union fractures, failed fusions, congenital pseudarthrosis and depression.

Early hints of efficacy of tPEMF as antidepressant came from observations that bipolar patients improved their mood after a magnetic resonance spectrogram.", "Here we see the magnetic field lines for surface coils. The red rectangle indicates the position of the body. The energy of this surface coil extends evenly over the surface, even in case multiple coils are arranged inside a flat pad or mattress applicator. The coils in the mattress are placed in such a way that the magnetic field is evenly spread out, as far as this is mathematically possible. PEMF Coil In addition there are very efficient high energy coils available for localized therapy, e.g. spine & hips or for hand, elbow & feet.", "One way to make a PEMF device is to use an MP3 player and an off-the-self electromagnetic coil that plugs into a standard 3.5mm stereo headphone jack. Create a sound file using the frequency generator functions of Audacity or sox, and play this file from the MP3 player. That coil would have to have a magnetic field that measures in the 30 to 90 microTesla range, and it would have to be able to be pulsed in the 5 to 45 Hz frequency range, since that is roughly the strength and frequency of the Earth's own magnetic field.", "Coils.
