Purpose: This study was designed to examine the effect of single-leg squat and agility tests on Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS). Sixteen male subject group from different sports participated in this study, with the mean (age 18.06+ 1.53 years, body mass 68.69 + 8.63 kg, body height 172.69 + 7.03 cm and training age was 6.38 + 3.03 years). Resting blood samples were drawn from the heated hand vein catheter immediately before using exercise protocol test and after recovery periods of 24 and 48 h for the measurement of Creatine kinase (CK) activity in serum .The participants in this study began the experimental protocol test by using single-leg squat. 30 minutes later the same subjects were exposed to agility test in the same training unit until each one of them reached voluntary exhaustion. The results showed that significant CK elevation 24 h after Appling the exercise protocol test compared to CK level before it was conducted, However the results also revealed that the change percentage between (Pre &post 24h was 81.4%) for measurement after 24 h recovery, and Significant decrease of CK after a period of 48 h recovery as compared to the level of CK 24 hours after it was conducted. Furthermore, the change percentage between (Post24&post 48 h was 47.79%) It was concluded that a significantly faster recovery of CK during 48 h recovery may depend on two factors: (1) training state of study subjects (2) Reduced muscle soreness after 48 h of recovery period as a result of the decreased damage response to such particular exercise protocol tests.</em>Alexandria University, Faculty of Sport Education in Abu QirJournal of Applied Sports Science2357-00243120130301Mental Toughness and the Level of Achievement for Female Physical Education Teachers22318653210.21608/jass.2013.86532ENMohamed Anbar BelalFaculty of Physical Education, Menoufia University (Sadat City Branch), Sadat City, EgyptAmira Mahmoud TahaFaculty of Physical Education, Menoufia University (Sadat City Branch), Sadat City, EgyptJournal Article20130101<em>This research aims to standardize a mental toughness scale and achievement level scale for female physical education teachers, as well as identify percentage of mental toughness dimensions and achievement level scale for the female physical education teachers and the differences between female teachers in light of years of experience.

Although it has been proved that volleyball female players are exposed to injuries to a medium extent due to sudden movements and shock absorbing in jumps. One of the common injuries in this field is anterior cruciate ligament injuries which have been proven one of the most dangerous injuries in all sports. Methods for analyzing the mechanisms of injuries in sports from video sequences of injury situations are so far limited to a simple visual inspection, which has shown poor accuracy. This is why this study was performed to investigate whether a new model-based image-matching technique could successfully be applied to estimate kinematical characteristics of three typical anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury situations in female volleyball. The researcher contacted the sports medicine committee in the volleyball international federation for obtaining injury video incidences from international championships for some world ranked female national teams for the purpose of biomechanical analysis. Videos have been imported to the program Posers 4, where a skeleton model and a model of the surroundings were matched to the background image frame by frame. When the match was considered satisfactory, joint angles as well as velocity and acceleration of the center of mass were calculated. The researcher concluded that the model-based image matching technique can be used to extract kinematical characteristics from videotapes of actual ACL injuries, and may provide valuable information on the mechanisms for ACL injuries in sports</em><em>.</em><em> Finally the researcher recommends conducting further studies on other injury incidences for the aim of prevention.</em>Alexandria University, Faculty of Sport Education in Abu QirJournal of Applied Sports Science2357-00243120130301The Impact of Multiple Intellegences on Learning Outcomes in Fencing Curriculum41598653610.21608/jass.2013.86536ENGhada Omar MohamedFaculty of Physical Education for Girls, Alexandria University, Alexandria, EgyptJournal Article20130101<em>This research aims to develop an educational program using multiple intelligences in fencing curriculum for students in Faculty of Physical Education for Girls and identify: impact of this program on cognitive achievement; skill performance, and emotional side; all for fourth grade students, Education Division in the fencing curriculum, Identify differences in learning outcomes for fencing curriculum according to intelligence patterns.
