Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
Interval training is a concept wherein a person works out at a medium to high intensity for a specified period of time or distance and then reduces the exercise intensity for an equal period of time or distance. A 1997 study found that splitting training tasks into intervals or repetitions will increase the amount of oxygen consumed and needed to be repaid after each unit when compared to performing the same distance at the same workload in a continuous or steady exercise regimen. The paper explains that intermittent, or interval, training tasks were found to place a greater load on the oxygen transport system than do continuous tasks This study investigates the effects of interval versus steady (continuous) training on endurance performance. The paper includes detailed tables.

From the Paper
"The creatine phosphate pool provides a buffer for the rapid supply of ATP for the work of contraction, as well as a link to the cellular sources of ATP. Depending on the type of muscle fiber, this cellular ATP is produced by one or both of two common biochemical pathways?glycolysis (anaerobic) and the citric acid cycle (aerobic). The aerobic pathway is the most efficient off the two; however, when muscle activity level reaches approximately 70 percent of the maximum possible level, aerobic metabolism no longer is able to supply the muscle with a sufficient supply of ATP. At this point, the anaerobic metabolism pathway begins to function. The anaerobic pathway works more quickly, although less efficiently, than the aerobic pathway, and thus can supply large amounts of ATP that are stored in the muscle itself (24)."

Abstract
The paper explains that motivating and gaining the employee's trust is an important aspect of good management. The author points out that understanding Maslow?s hierarchy of needs in different cultures is important because, after the basic needs, the manner and style of displaying fulfillment in the higher needs may be different. The paper relates that when individuals know and understand both their strengths and their weakness their effectiveness as leaders is greater.

From the Paper
"Many of the U.S. businesses are increasingly going overseas in an effort to be more cost effective and generate more profits for the organization. While many of the corporate cultures and norms that made the company successful may be acceptable and even lauded in the U.S., they may be totally inappropriate for the rest of the world. In the past, American companies were often held up as models of efficiency and functionality. In recent times however, the attitudes and behavior of many leaders and managers within the multinational corporations (MNC) have created a backlash of resistance by many of the overseas-workers. Trust is difficult to build. It takes a long time. It can be lost in an instant due to a single bad decision or insensitive attitude by the managers or leaders. Cultural values are very diversified and complex.

Abstract
The paper examines police training and the importance of leadership and evaluation.
From the Paper
"Police training academies have recently been beset by a host of problems that have undermined the effectiveness of their training regimens. Many academies have been subjected to a constant stream of turnover in the leadership cadres of their program. This has been exacerbated by a lack of focus in their missions and compounded by the lack of systematic and rigorous evaluation processes."

Conclusion
From the Paper
"The civilian police officer is usually on the front lines, making sure that peace is kept, both internationally and nationally. Training for the CP has emerged as ineffective and not useful as times have changed. Terrorists do not care how they kill or maim, as long as their message gets out. The CP must apply all new challenges and solutions based on their training. Training is key when the CP arrives first on the scene to assess damage and try to control it. Training within the organization should not be influenced by cultural disparities or different mind-sets. Each person brings with them a set of core values, but if applied correctly, these values can be an asset to the CP after the officer has gone through training. However, because the training for the CP is not yet complete because of new and interesting challenges they face daily (i.e. terrorism), that training has to evolve daily."

Over-training Syndrome
From the Paper
"As pointed out above, early detection is the key to keeping the syndrome in check. Similarly, athletes should be aware of their tendencies and realize if they are prone to overtraining. The types of athletes who are most susceptible are single-sport athletes who focus on a very specific movement and who bring to their training an ambitious, focused, almost obsessive intensity. Athletes who are at risk with such characteristics fall into a risk profile and they must therefore monitor their own activities, along with their coaches, so that they do not overtrain."

Police Training on Deadly Force, 2008.
An analysis of police training on deadly force in America, including an outline of the current training structure and methodology and a discussion of how to develop a more effective program.

Abstract
This paper asserts that police training on deadly force is a necessary prerequisite for social order and to maintain the efficiency and integrity of the security forces. This paper discusses the necessary components of police training on deadly force, how it can benefit society, and whether police training is an organizational or social issue. The paper also presents a comprehensive model of police training on deadly force based on the best practices presented by the literature. It is clear that there are many issues surrounding training for the police force in relation to deadly force; however this paper shows that it is a necessary facet of the overall humanitarian and peace-keeping initiative and should not be viewed as an extra process aimed at increasing bureaucracy. Lastly, this paper highlights the major elements of the training program that are necessary, while simultaneously highlighting aspects of the political, social, and economic environment that either pose an opportunity or threat to the proposed training initiative on deadly force.

From the Paper
"State sponsored terrorism is two-tiered, many developed countries like the United States and United Kingdom, practice it for strategic reasons, that is, there is no religious affiliation, nor is there a general notion, that there is a need to have war in with certain states. However, there is a clear economic need, which then transfers into a need to have political allegiance with these states; hence without being physically present it is necessary to have alliances with groups that can promote the interests of the United States. Is this wrong? Should it even be called terrorism, or is it just a company take-over, where the country in question is the state? For example in the 1980's the United States was convicted of unlawful force due to their support of terrorist force in Nicaragua, this was a clear cut case of state sponsored terrorism, and highlights the dynamics of how intricate it can be."

"Most organizations recognize the value of training; however, the contemporary business environment, as a consequence of globalization and other factors, dictates that these organizations structure training in the most cost-efficient way possible (?Training Trends to Cost Effectiveness,? 1997). For some organizations, the most cost-effective approach to obtaining high-quality training is through outsourcing, which increasingly may involve Internet-based training. Many organizations outsourcing training have ?been impressed with the results. Rather than keeping program designers, administrators and trainers on staff, they have worked with outside trainers who act as an off-site training department. These off-site providers partner with clients to perform a whole range of duties from assessing training needs, to designing appropriate solutions and providing administrative support."

Abstract
Terrorism has become embedded in almost everyone's vocabulary, it is one of those terms, that not everyone knows what it means, but it seems to be surrounded with negative connotations. However, it is not surprising that terrorism is sometimes abetted with state sponsorship and is supported by many governments whether intrinsically or extrinsically. As such international peace-keeping efforts have to change focus and address these internal dynamics. This paper explores some of the necessary mandates that are needed by personnel dealing with these issues.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Conflict resolution and peace keeping has been an issue of controversy for many years. However, with the proper training mechanism and structure, then peace and humanitarian operations can be the champions of a successful organizational initiative. It is therefore imperative that there be a comprehensive discourse embedded in the training structure for these operations that can analyze elements of the foreign conflict resolution and negotiation strategies. The connection between an effective training program or structure with the overall success of conflict resolution and negotiations will depend primarily on how well the program identifies the necessary political, economic, and cultural realms that have been affected by the dimensions of the operations. Overall, it is clear that conflict resolution and negotiation policy training is reactive and preventative, since it would be devised to counter, and to prohibit actions that were seen as harmful to the peace initiatives."

Abstract
This paper discusses how web-based training is an extension of computer-based training which takes advantage of the immediacy of the World Wide Web and the ability to reach large numbers of people at the same time regardless of where they are located. It proposes a study on the ways in which training may be adapted to benefit from innovations in information technology (IT) and the advantages such adaptation may provide for both organizations and trainees. Through an extensive literature review, it attempts to identify factors that contribute to either the success or failure of web-based training systems.

"An organization is a community. Social interactionists conceive a community as a social group, and that within the community as a social group, individuals develop both their own self-concept and individual identity through social interactions within the community structure (Levine, 1991). Identity refers to self-meanings in a role. Roles are shared norms applied by occupants of social positions. This development, according to social interactionists, allows a person to move from a personal perception of ?I? (the spontaneous self) to a personal perception of ?Me? (the social self), through a role taking behavior wherein the person assumes the role of the generalized other. Through this behavioral process, the person derives meanings from the nonverbal actions and verbal statements of significant others within the community structure."

"Presentation methods are those in which trainees are passive recipients of information. This information may include facts, information, processes, and problem-solving ideas. The two major presentation methods are lectures and audiovisual techniques. A lecture involves communication through spoken words. Major advantages of the lecture method are that it is inexpensive, doesn't consume very much time, and is effective in large groups of trainees. There are several variations to the lecture method. The standard lecture involves the trainer talking while employees listen. Team teaching involves two or more trainers presenting different topics or different views on the same topic. Guest speakers visit the session for a set time period and conduct the primary training. Panels involve two or more speakers presenting information and asking questions. "

"Training is one of the most critical aspects of a company?s operations, yet it is also one of the most problematic. Companies, particularly large organizations, must develop ways to ensure that existing and new employees receive information that they need to perform their jobs at the appropriate time and in an appropriate manner. Timing, however, is critical. The employees should not receive the information too soon or too late. If the former occurs, employees may forget the information, while in the latter event, a strong probability exists that employees will have already learned the material in a less effective manner.
Companies commit a significant portion of their resources to recruiting employees, and additional resources are invested in providing those employees with the tools necessary for them to perform their tasks. The environment of most organizations, however, is a dynamic one, and it is critical that individual employees be kept up to date on developments within their industry and their profession in order to help give the company a competitive edge (Davis, 1996). Companies use training in order to accomplish this outcome."
