PURPOSE Observation of a model performing fast exercise improves simultaneous exercise performance; however, the precise mechanism underpinning this effect is unknown. The aim of the present study was to investigate whether the speed of the observed exercise influenced both upper body exercise performance and the activation of a cortical action observation network (AON). METHOD In Experiment ...

This study investigated some aspects of the validity of walking speed recording in 15 normal subjects, 16 trans-femoral amputees and 8 knee disarticulation amputees. The variability and test-retest reliability of walking speed and the influence of simultaneous recording of EMG and goniometry on comfortable and fast walking speeds were studied. The variability between sessions was mainly determi...

There is a paucity of information regarding the late effects of methyl-iso-cyanate (MIC) poisoning. In this study, the clinical and cognitive functions of 52 MIC victims were evaluated one year after the Bhopal gas accident. There were 15 severely, 14 moderately, and 23 mildly affected patients. Their mean age was 38.2 (range 15-65) years and 30 patients were males. Their clinical picture was d...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to identify the effects of ankle plantar flexors stretching with closed kinetic chain (CKC) in hemiplegia patients. [Methods] This study used a reversal design (A-B-A') for a stroke with hemiplagia. The intervention program consisted of 30 min sessions, once a day, for 15 days. The subjects were trained for 15 sessions in total. Pelvic movements (anterior...

Summay.-The effects of specific versus variable practice on retention and transfer was investigated. 30 participants were randomly assigned to one of three practice conditions. The variable speed group practiced on a pursuit rotor task at three different speeds (60, 45, 30 rpm) which were randomly distributed but equal in number for 30 10-sec. trials on Day 1. The Specific Practice group perfor...

abstractmultiple sclerosis (ms) is a chronic disease of central nervous system with destroying the myelin sheath and accompanied by disorder in nervous conduction the purpse of this research was to study the effect of 8 weeks aquatic aerobic training on speed of walking and expanded disability statues scale (edss) in women with multiple sclerosis.this study was a semi-exprimental and applied re...

The Taguchi design of experiments was used to test the relative importance of medium components and environmental factors on poly(β-hydroxybutyrate)(PHB) production by Ralstonia eutropha. The optimum condition was obtained as: fructose concentration, 15 g/L; C/N ratio, 7.4; agitation speed 200 rpm; culture time, 40 h; temperature, 25 ° C; seed age, 15 h. At optimu...

John Baez, Computations and the periodic table By now there is an extensive network of interlocking analogies between physics, topology, logic and computer science, which can be seen most easily by comparing the roles that symmetric monoidal closed categories play in each subject. However, symmetric monoidal categories are just the n = 1, k = 3 entry of a hypothesized ”periodic table” of k-tupl...
