Visual Strategies used during the performance of an obstacle course
Vision is the sense that provides precise information about one’s position in the environment in relation to objects. The visual system is essential to guide people safely when moving around in the environment. The perception that an individual gets from a particular scene of her/his surroundings is accomplished by eye movements. The current study aims to identify differences in visual strategi...
متن کاملDetermination of Orientation and Practice Requirements When Using an Obstacle Course for Mobility Performance Assessment
OBJECTIVE Determine effect of orientation (introduction and familiarization) and practice (repeated performance) on human performance under various load conditions as assessed by an obstacle course. BACKGROUND Obstacle courses are commonly used as screening tools by military, police, and firefighters or to assess human capabilities and the effect of wearing personal protective equipment (PPE)...

متن کاملThoroughbred Growth and Future Racing Performance
The success of a Thoroughbred racehorse is determined by a multitude of factors, many of which are impossible to evaluate. Thoroughbreds are commonly selected for racing ability by pedigree and conformation analysis. There have been few studies associating growth and body size with racing performance (Pagan, 1998a; Cain, 2006; Smith et al., 2006). The genetic make-up, or genotype, contributes t...
متن کاملWing wear reduces bumblebee flight performance in a dynamic obstacle course.
Previous work has shown that wing wear increases mortality in bumblebees. Although a proximate mechanism for this phenomenon has remained elusive, a leading hypothesis is that wing wear increases predation risk by reducing flight manoeuvrability. We tested the effects of simulated wing wear on flight manoeuvrability in Bombus impatiens bumblebees using a dynamic obstacle course designed to push...
