Isokinetic dynamometry is the clinical gold standard for strength assessment but testing protocols and outcome metrics can lack functional relevance. To quantify the influence of dynamometer configuration on eccentric hamstring strength metrics, 23 trained participants completed isokinetic eccentric knee flexor trials at 180°·s-1 in a seated and extended hip position. The extended position elicited a greater peak torque (P = 0.04) which was achieved at a significantly (P < 0.001) greater degree of knee flexion. Isokinetic range and functional range (defined as 85% of peak torque) were consistent at ~44° and ~21°, respectively, across trials, but were achieved with a more flexed knee in the extended hip configuration. Therefore, whilst the extended hip configuration might better reflect the biarticular nature of the hamstring musculature and the mechanism of hamstring strain injury, the sensitivity of strength metrics to configuration has implications for clinical assessment and training adaptations.

In this opening lecture for the 2022 Budapest Conference on “Building Community in Fractured Societies: Challenges for Christians in Higher Education,” an overview is given of recent societal developments, (geo-) political, economic, ecological, sociological, psychological, and spiritual. A basic framework is presented on how to analyze today's, late-modern world. It is a world in which instrumental rationality is highly dominant. Next to this, powerful societal complexes exert deep influence on the lives of humans: political, economic, media, and medical. Over against this is posed the “real human world” of meaning and responsibility, as the key focus of Christian higher education.

We make two interventions in two evolving scholarly literatures. First, we show how fractal metaphors escape a recurring dichotomy in Christian pedagogical scholarship, the either/or of alienation from one’s object of study versus union with it in “an act of love.” Second, we try to replace recent interdisciplinary work’s emphasis on “complexity” with “irreducibility.” Fractals allow us to define these concepts and develop alternative “ways of knowing” with greater rigor. Both interventions bear directly on Christian formation, and so we derive five ways the Christian classroom can combat spiritual alienation and instead cultivate the “fractal imagination” of our students.

There is a longstanding discussion in child theology around the role of cognition for faith formation. This article explores research in the area of disability theology in order to examine potential benefits for Christian ministry to the child. It suggests three areas which may be profitable: the importance of increasing information to accompany development; the importance of the role of the teacher as embodiment and model of discipleship; and the requirement to give better account for ritualised processes within evangelical children’s ministry.

The Christian practice of a shared meal, including shared hospitality, sacred meal, testimony and prayer, stimulates students’ engagement to act on issues of justice in relation to classmates and the wider community. Integration between the teacher’s personal faith and the pedagogical approach by redesigning teaching practices re-imagines the class beyond rejigging techniques. Seriously considering each student as a creative human being made in the image of God and embodied participation in communal activities that reshapes pedagogy is instructive as we move into a post-Covid era revealing a need for deeper relational approaches to education.
