Analysis of marathon performances of disabled athletes
2013
Le but de cette etude etait d’analyser la participation et les performances sur marathon des athletes handisports en fauteuils roulants classiques (WC) et en fauteuils avec pedalage des bras ou Handbike (HC). L’âge et les performances chronometriques de tous les athletes ayant participe au marathon de New-York, dans les categories WC et HC, ont ete analyses entre 1999 et 2010. Durant cette periode, un total de 698 athletes WC (132 femmes et 566 hommes) et 776 athletes HC (141 femmes et 635 hommes) ont termine la course. Les femmes representaient 20 % du total des arrivants dans les deux categories. Les athletes en categorie WC etait significativement (P < 0,01) plus jeunes en comparaison de…
Exploring Relationships Between Anthropometry, Body Composition, Maturation, and Selection for Competition: A Study in Youth Soccer Players
2021
PurposeThe purpose of this study was to analyze variations of selection for competition between late and early mature players and test the relationships between anthropometry, body composition, maturation, and selection for competition.MethodsSeventy-nine youth soccer players from under-11 to under-14 participated in this study, over 6 months. Body composition and maturity offset were estimated based on anthropometric data collected. Participants were also monitored for their number of matches as starters and time of play accrued in minutes.ResultsMinutes played had large correlation coefficients with maturity offset (r = 0.58), and leg length and sitting height interaction (r = 0.56). Mult…
Swimming performances in long distance open-water events with and without wetsuit.
2013
International audience; BACKGROUND: Existing literature showed improved swimming performances for swimmers wearing wetsuits competing under standardized conditions in races held in pools on short to middle distances. Data about the influence of wetsuits on swimming performances in long and ultra-long open-water swimming races are missing. It is unknown whether the benefit of wearing wetsuits is comparable in men and women. The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of wearing a wetsuit on open-water swimming performances at the 26.4 km 'Marathon Swim in Lake Zurich' in Lake Zurich, Switzerland, and the 3.8 km Lake Ontario Swim Team-Race (LOST-Race) in Lake Ontario, Canada. METHO…
Relationship between age and elite marathon race time in world single age records from 5 to 93 years
2013
International audience; Background:The aims of the study were (i) to investigate the relationship between elite marathon race times andage in 1-year intervals by using the world single age records in marathon running from 5 to 93 years and (ii)toevaluate the sex difference in elite marathon running performance with advancing age.Methods:World single age records in marathon running in 1-year intervals for women and men were analysedregarding changes across age for both men and women using linear and non-linear regression analyses for eachage for women and men.Results:The relationship between elite marathon race time and age was non-linear (i.e.polynomial regression 4thdegree) for women and m…
The Complex Interaction Between the Major Sleep Symptoms, the Severity of Obstructive Sleep Apnea, and Sleep Quality
2021
Introduction: Little information exists in the general population whether clinical presentation phenotypes of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) differ in terms of sleep quality and comorbidities.Aim: The purpose of our study was to assess possible differences between symptomatic and asymptomatic OSA patients concerning syndrome's severity, patients' sleep quality, and comorbidities.Subjects and methods: First, in a nationwide, stratified, epidemiological survey, 4,118 Cypriot adult participants were interviewed about sleep habits and complaints. In the second stage of the survey, 264 randomly selected adults underwent a type III sleep study for possible OSA. Additionally, they completed the Gre…

Descripción y análisis de un caso de enseñanza y aprendizaje de la demostración en una comunidad de práctica de futuros profesores de matemáticas de …
2010
El propósito de la investigación es analizar el aprendizaje de la demostración matemática de un grupo de estudiantes de un curso universitario de geometría plana, de un programa de formación de profesores, en el cual se llevó a cabo una instrucción experimental en la que se pretendía lograr la conformación de una comunidad de práctica. El marco teórico se circunscribe a la teoría de la práctica social propuesta por Wenger. En tal sentido, caracterizamos el aprendizaje como sinónimo de participación en la actividad demostrativa que se despliega para construir colectivamente, profesora y estudiantes, una porción de un sistema axiomático. Junto con la materialización de dicha práctica en un co…
Endogenous peroxynitrite modulates PGHS-1–dependent thromboxane A2 formation and aggregation in human platelets
2008
Aggregation of activated platelets is considerably mediated by the autocrine action of thromboxane A2 (TxA2) which is formed in a prostaglandin endoperoxide H2 synthase-1 (PGHS-1 or COX-1)-dependent manner. The activity of PGHS-1 can be stimulated by peroxides, an effect termed "peroxide tone", that renders PGHS-1 the key regulatory enzyme in the formation of TxA2. Activated platelets release nitric oxide (*NO) and superoxide (O*2) but their interactions with the prostanoid pathway have been controversially discussed in platelet physiology and pathophysiology. The current study demonstrates that endogenously formed peroxynitrite at nanomolar concentrations, originating from the interaction …
