Abstract: Strength training is an essential element of fitness for virtually every sports man and woman. Long gone are the days when coaches believed strength training (resistance exercises) only added unnecessary bulk to the athlete, hindering their ability to execute skill, not knowing that strength training prevent injury. Injury rates among runners are extremely high. In fact, at beginner's level distance runners experience more injuries than athletes in any other sport, including football and gymnastics. This is because running involves an incredible amount of contact with soft and hard surfaces rather than other athletes. Every running stride places about three times the weight of your body on your foot, ankle, knee and hip joints. These landing forces stress your body structures............

Abstract: The Language policy on Education (2004) states that the language of the immediate environment or mother tongue should be used as a medium of instruction at all preprimary level of Education until when a child gets to the upper primary level which would require the use of English as a medium of instruction. This is to enable a child who leaves home for formal learning to get acclimatize with the new learning environment. The status of the English Language in Nigeria has made it a world class language used across borders for all official purposes. However, many Nigerians today seem to have relegated the place of mother tongue to the background because of the erroneous assumption of the place of the English language. This notion, therefore, brought about the reversal status of the English language.............

Abstract: Determination and establishment of the students' knowledge and skills in mathematics is an important task not only for the lecturers but also for the learners. The authors examine the role and results of one diagnostic test used before the topic of differential calculus in three technical universities. Interpretation of the results and timely adequate reactions are almost compulsory

Keywords: Diagnostic test, mathematics education; survey Likert-type scale; secondary-tertiary degree transition
