Methods: Twenty-six trained modern dancers volunteered in this study. On the first measurement, isokinetic tests were performed on dominant and non-dominant legs. On the second measurement, the dominant leg flexors were stretched using 3 unassisted and 1 assisted static stretching exercises (each 4x15 seconds; 10-second rest). After the stretching, isokinetic tests were repeated on both legs. Results: The results indicated a positive increase in strength in the stretched (PT%BW, TW) and non-stretched (PT, PT%BW, TW) limbs in flexion at 180°s-1 (P<0.05). We observed a positive increase (P<0.05) in the stretched limb (180 and 300°.s-1, TW; 300°.s-1, PT%BW) in extension whereas an acute decrease (P<0.05) was observed in both legs (60˚.s-1, PT and PT%BW). Conclusion: Our findings indicated a possible positive effect of static stretching at high angular velocities on the strength production of isokinetic contraction in stretched and non-stretched muscles. However, due to its negative effect on the extensor muscle groups, we think using static stretching is required attention before maximal strength exercises.

There has been an increase in research focusing on understanding the Muslim population's situation within Western societies after 9/11. A considerable number of studies, qualitative research and oral histories were conducted that extensively explore Muslim communities, particularly Muslim women's life experiences and perceptions living in predominantly Western countries. The research literature regarding young Muslim women's participation in bodily practices is predominantly confined to physical education courses, and extra-curricular activities during the subjects' secondary school education. Such research shows that young Muslim women can face particular problems when participating in physical activities because of religious and cultural restrictions. Nonetheless, it appears that there is a research gap regarding young Muslim women's relationship to dance as an artistic and/or recreational practice. The question such as what young Muslim women think of dance as a concept, artistic field, and bodily experience seems to be not included in the literature of dance studies and social sciences research. The author of this paper conducted a qualitative research study titled Muslim Female Students in Higher Education in the United States: Approaches to and Experiences of Dance and

I argue that the choreography of SBDK functions as a memorialization of a history of losses, using images and objects as guiding elements to trace the roots of the truth. Through their choreographic revaluation, the objects used in SBDK exceed their inherent functionality and gain new meanings marked by Tomasyan's subjectivity.

Twenty-two female dancers were divided into two groups: intermediate dancers (ID, n=11) and advanced dancers (AD, n=11). Strength tests were performed using the Biodex System-III Pro Multijoint System isokinetic dynamometer to determine three joint angular velocities (60, 180, 300°/s). During extension, ADs exhibited higher ratios in the HQR (p=0.016) on right leg at 300°/s, IDs generated greater TW (p=0.042), and within groups, there was a significant left-to-right difference in the HQR at 300°/s for ADs (p=0.042). During flexion, within groups, the ADs exhibited significant differences between legs for both PT (p=0.026) and PT%BW (p=0.022) at 300°/s. For both groups, the average HQR in ...
