The landing-take-off asymmetry in human running.
In the elastic-like bounce of the body at each running step the muscle-tendon units are stretched after landing and recoil before take-off. For convenience, both the velocity of the centre of mass of the body at landing and take-off, and the characteristics of the muscle-tendon units during stretching and recoil, are usually assumed to be the same. The deviation from this symmetrical model has ...
متن کاملThe landing-take-off asymmetry of human running is enhanced in old age.
The landing-take-off asymmetry of running was thought to derive from, or at least to be consistent with, the physiological property of muscle to resist stretching (after landing) with a force greater than it can develop during shortening (before take-off). In old age, muscular force is reduced, but the deficit in force is less during stretching than during shortening. The greater loss in concen...
متن کاملOn–Off asymmetry in the perception of blur
Natural images appear blurred when imperfect lens focus reduces contrast energy at higher spatial frequencies. Here, we present evidence that perceived blur also depends on asymmetries between On (positive contrast polarities) and Off (negative contrast polarities) image signals. Psychophysical matching experiments involving natural and artificial stimuli suggest that attenuating Off signals at...
متن کاملFootwear Decreases Gait Asymmetry during Running
Previous research on elderly people has suggested that footwear may improve neuromuscular control of motion. If footwear does in fact improve neuromuscular control, then such an influence might already be present in young, healthy adults. A feature that is often used to assess neuromuscular control of motion is the level of gait asymmetry. The objectives of the study were (a) to develop a compr...
متن کاملThe Functional Asymmetry of ON and OFF Channels
26 To fully understand the relationship between perception and single neural 27 responses, one should take into consideration the early stages of sensory 28 processing. Few studies, however, have directly examined the neural 29 underpinning of visual perception in the lateral geniculate nucleus (LGN), only 30 one synapse away from the retina. In this study we recorded from LGN 31 Parvocellular ...
