Influence of time-of-day-specific same-session combined endurance and strength training on maximal and submaximal endurance parameters

2015

Endurance and strength training are often performed concurrently by both elite athletes and recreational individuals. The question of whether the order of exercises or training at certain daytimes yields to different adaptations in endurance and strength parameters, when endurance and strength training are combined into a single training session, has received limited scientific attention. Moreover, effects on cardiorespiratory and neuromuscular variables after same-session concurrent training have shown conflicting results, particularly regarding exercise sequence or time-of-day characteristics. The purpose of the present study was to examine the effect of time-of-day-specific same- session…

Neuromuscular adaptations to single-session combined strength and endurance training in untrained men : an examination of the order effect

2013

Understanding the adaptations to single-session combined strength (S) and endurance (E) training has received increased attention in scientific literature through the expand-ing use of combined training programs for practical purposes. However, the intra-session exercise order when performing both E and S in the same training session may limit potential strength development, as the neuromuscular adaptations to either training mode alone are very different. Research on the effect of the intra-session exercise order of combined training on various training-induced adaptations, i.e. the order effect, is currently limited, especially with regard to the neuromuscular adaptations. Therefore, the …

Simulated eutrophication and browning alters zooplankton nutritional quality and determines juvenile fish growth and survival

2018

Source at https://doi.org/10.1002/ece3.3832. The first few months of life is the most vulnerable period for fish and their optimal hatching time with zooplankton prey is favored by natural selection. Traditionally, however, prey abundance (i.e., zooplankton density) has been considered important, whereas prey nutritional composition has been largely neglected in natural settings. High‐quality zooplankton, rich in both essential amino acids (EAAs) and fatty acids (FAs), are required as starting prey to initiate development and fast juvenile growth. Prey quality is dependent on environmental conditions, and, for example, eutrophication and browning are two major factors defining primary produ…

Anticipatory postural adjustments during joint action coordination

2019

International audience; There is a current claim that humans are able to effortlessly detect others’ hidden mental state by simply observing their movements and transforming the visual input into motor knowledge to predict behaviour. Using a classical paradigm quantifying motor predictions, we tested the role of vision feedback during a reach and load-lifting task performed either alone or with the help of a partner. Wrist flexor and extensor muscle activities were recorded on the supporting hand. Early muscle changes preventing limb instabilities when participants performed the task by themselves revealed the contribution of the visual input in postural anticipation. When the partner perfo…

Coping with injury in powerlifting : stress-injury model perspective

2017

A need to evaluate psychological antecedents to injury in strength-based sports is evident. Powerlifting especially has seen a rise in participation rates (International Paralympic Committee; Powerlifting Australia Ltd.; British Weight Lifting), also resulting in an increase in weightlifting-related injuries (Metzger et al., 2012). While much literature exists on mental stressors and coping mechanisms athletes encounter in the sport context, minimal research has attempted to understand how athletes involved in strength sports cope with stress and injury. The nature of strength sports overall differs from contact, speed-based, or even aesthetics-based sports. These essential differences are …

Culture, Cultural Distance and Cultural Intelligence : A Multilevel Hierarchical Linear Model Analysis of Contextual Business Cultural Intelligence Q…

2019

Master's thesis Business Administration BE501 - University of Agder 2019 Purpose –The purpose of our master thesis is to investigate contextual antecedents to Cultural Intelligence development. Particularly, we assess the ability of cultural distance to predict Business Cultural Intelligence Quotient scores.Design / methodology / approach–Given our literature review, we hypothesize that cultural distance significantly affects BCIQ in a positive way. For this matter, we split our hypothesis into three sub-hypothesis and measured cultural distance in three ways: having at least one foreign parent, the Mahalanobis cultural distance, and the delta of each GLOBE’s practices dimensions expressed …

"Like Finlanders do in Finland" : associations with Finnishness and the construction of cultural identity in narrations of Finnish Americans in the d…

2015

Suomalaisten maahanmuutto Pohjois-Amerikkaan jakautuu useaan eri vaiheeseen. Köyhistä agraarioloista tulleet suomalaiset olivat kovia tekemään työtä ja asettuivat usein seuduille, jotka tarjosivat heille tuttua työtä, esimerkiksi maanviljelyksen ja metsätyön parissa. Näille alueille muodostui merkkittäviä suomalaiskeskittymiä, jotka mahdollistivat suomalaisen kulttuuriperimän säilymisen vuosikymmeniä. Tutkimuksemme keskittyy suomalaisuuden ilmenemiseen ja kulttuuri-identiteetin rakentumiseen amerikansuomalaisten keskuudessa 1980-luvulla. Tapaustuskimuksemme tavoite on selvittää, miten tietyt amerikansuomalaiset mieltävät suomalaisuuden, ja miten he rakentavat kulttuuri-identiteettiään. Tutk…

The effect of peracetic acid on microbial community, water quality, nitrification and rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) performance in recirculatin…

2020

Microbial biofilters control water quality and enable the overall function of recirculation aquaculture systems (RAS). Changes in environmental conditions can affect the abundance and interactions of the diverse microbial populations of the biofilter, affecting nitrification of harmful ammonium and thus fish health. Here, we examined the effect of different application frequencies (0, 1, 2 and 4 times per week) of a common disinfectant, peracetic acid (PAA, applied 1.1 mg l−1 twice per day), on biofilter microbial communities, focusing especially on nitrifying microbial groups and using a high throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene and quantitative PCR (qPCR). In addition, we measured biofi…
