Increased fascicle length but not patellar tendon stiffness after accentuated eccentric-load strength training in already-trained men
2020
Purpose This study examined whether additional external load during the eccentric phase of lower limb strength training exercises led to greater adaptations in knee extensor strength, muscle architecture, and patellar tendon properties than traditional concentric–eccentric training in already-trained men. Methods Twenty-eight men accustomed to strength training were randomized to undertake 10 weeks of supervised traditional (TRAD) or accentuated eccentric loading (AEL) or continue their habitual unsupervised (CON) strength training. TRAD and AEL trained 2∙week−1 with a six-repetition maximum (RM) session and a ten-RM session. TRAD used the same external load in both concentric and eccentric…
Estados Unidos y el principio de extraordinariedad
2015
En los últimos años, los cientistas sociales se han visto atraídos por el unilateralismo estadounidense en política internacional. Sus observaciones coinciden en resaltar el sentido de especialidad promovido por los estadounidenses para verse asimismo frente a otros. En este sentido, el presente trabajo examina las causas culturas y sociales de cómo se ha formado el principio del destino revelado, que lleva a los americanos a sentirse especiales. La discusión apunta a defender la tesis de que este pueblo ha desarrollado una visión realmente trágica del mundo por medio del cual la necesidad de alcanzar la virtud converge en el temor del hundimiento.
City Networks, Polycentrism, Gateway Cities: verso un nuovo modello per le città policentriche europee
2014
La ricerca affronta lo studio del modello insediativo reticolare, le potenzialità delle reti e nei nodi urbani nel rappresentare la logica spaziale disegnata dai flussi materiali e immateriali. La tesi è sviluppata attraverso tre parti principali. La prima parte, dedicata all’inquadramento scientifico del tema e all’apparato teorico, propone un regesto critico delle teorie e dell’evoluzione del concetto di rete, attingendo sia alla letteratura delle scienze sociali, geografiche ed economiche sia alle pratiche relative alla spazializzazione delle reti in ambito territoriale. La seconda parte si concentra sullo studio e interpretazione del modello insediativo policentrico, dove, attraverso l’…
Criteri e principi per il restauro architettonico
2016
Il saggio, oltre a rivisitare quanto la cultura del restauro ha messo a punto nel corso del Novecento sul dibattito in materia di centri storici, ha posto l’accento, partendo dalle specificità di quello di Modica, sul restauro e la rifunzionalizzazione dei grandi ex-complessi monastici. Essi potrebbero costituire i volani di una significativa valorizzazione se inseriti in una programmazione coordinata e strategica di nuovi usi, alla luce delle più recenti acquisizioni di restauro e patrimonio culturale, inteso come riappropriazione di esso a partire dalle comunità, in sintonia con i programmi Unesco in cui Modica è rientrata all’interno dell’Itinerario del Val di Noto.

Spatial Cognition 2020/1: Book of abstracts : August 2-4, 2021, University of Latvia
2021
Spatial Cognition is concerned with the acquisition, development, representation, organization, and use of knowledge about spatial objects in real, virtual or hybrid environments and processed by human or artificial agents. Spatial Cognition includes research from different fields insofar as they are concerned with cognitive agents and space, such as cognitive and developmental psychology, linguistics, computer science, geography, cartography, philosophy, neuroscience, and education. Research issues in the field range from the investigation of human spatial cognition to mobile robot navigation, including topics such as wayfinding, spatial planning, spatial learning, internal and external re…
Effects of pregnancy on lumbar motion patterns and muscle responses.
2018
The kinematics of the lumbar region and the activation patterns of the erector spinae muscle have been associated with the genesis of low back pain, which is one of the most common complications associated with pregnancy. Despite the high prevalence of pregnancy-related low back pain, the biomechanical adaptations of the lumbar region during pregnancy remain unknown.This study analyzes lumbar spine motion and the activation pattern of the lumbar erector spinae muscle in healthy pregnant women.A case-control study.The study involved 34 nulliparous women (control group) and 34 pregnant women in the third trimester (week 36 ± 1).We recorded the parameters of angular displacement of the lumbar …
Acute (0-2h) and delayed (2-8D) effects of exercise-induced muscle damage and soreness on elbow target movements.
2011
The aim was to examine the acute and delayed effects of exercise-induced muscle damage and soreness on elbow target movements (TM) performance and control. Ten males performed an exercise of 50 maximal eccentric elbow actions. TMs were performed at three movement ranges. Maximal forces, active stretch reflex and TM were tested, and muscle soreness, creatine kinase and elbow joint stiffness were determined acute (after and 2 h) and delayed (2, 4, 6, 8d) postexercise. Both the long lasting muscle soreness and force drop were observed after the exercise. Joint stiffness was increased at 2 h postexercise. The highest deterioration in flexion-TM performance was found at the time (2 h) and at the…
Effect of Training-Induced Changes in Achilles Tendon Stiffness on Muscle–Tendon Behavior During Landing
2018
During rapid deceleration of the body, tendons buffer part of the elongation of the muscle–tendon unit (MTU), enabling safe energy dissipation via eccentric muscle contraction. Yet, the influence of changes in tendon stiffness within the physiological range upon these lengthening contractions is unknown. This study aimed to examine the effect of training-induced stiffening of the Achilles tendon on triceps surae muscle–tendon behavior during a landing task. Twenty-one male subjects were assigned to either a 10-week resistance-training program consisting of single-leg isometric plantarflexion (n = 11) or to a non-training control group (n = 10). Before and after the training period, plantarf…
