The Influence of the feedback control of the hexapod platform of the SAAM dynamic driving simulator on neuromuscular dynamics of the drivers
2012
Multi sensorial cues (visual, auditory, haptic, inertial, vestibular, neuromuscular) [Ang2] play important roles to represent a proper sensation (objectively) and so a perception (subjectively as cognition) in driving simulators. Driving simulator aims at giving the sensation of driving as in a real case. For a similar situation, the driver has to react in the same way as in reality in terms of ‘self motion’. To enable this behavior, the driving simulator must enhance the virtual immersion of the subject in the driving situation. The subject has to perceive the motion of his own body in the virtual scene of the virtual car as he will have in a real car. For that reason, restituting the iner…
Adaptations neuromusculaires des muscles extenseurs du genou : contractions fatigantes uni- vs bi-latérales
2010
The aim of this work was to determine i) the influence of the level of absolute force on the duration of the endurance time, and subsequent neuromuscular alterations in same individual at the end of an exercise performed at the same relative intensity, with one or two legs, ii) the influence of central drive on the force capacity production of the knee extensor muscles during unilateral (UL) vs. bilateral (BL) contractions, iii) activation mechanisms evolution for a serie of submaximal evoked contractions by electrostimulation (EMS). The results of the first study confirm that the endurance limit depends on the level of absolute force for the same individual, contraction duration for UL is …
Aktiivisen voimatyyppisen palautumisharjoitteen vaikutus voimantuottoon ja lihasaktiivisuuteen
2010
Riina Flink. 2010. Aktiivisen voimatyyppisen palautumisharjoitteen vaikutus voimantuottoon ja lihasaktiivisuuteen. Kandidaatin tutkielma, Biomekaniikka, Liikuntabiologian laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto. 52 s. Voimatyyppisen harjoitteen vaikutusta voimaharjoituksesta palautumiseen on tutkittu hyvin vähän. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena olikin tutkia aktiivisen palautumisjakson vaikutusta raskaasta jalkaprässiharjoituksesta palautumiseen. Aktiivisen palautumisen ryhmä (AP, 5 koehenkilöä) suoritti harjoituksen jälkeen aktiivisen jalkaprässiharjoitteen (10x10) 30% kuormalla alkuperäisestä maksimikuormasta. Passiivisen palautumisen ryhmä (PP, 9 koehenkilöä) taas suoritti passiivisen palautumisjak…
Modular Breath Analyzer (MBA): Introduction of a Breath Analyzer Platform Based on an Innovative and Unique, Modular eNose Concept for Breath Diagnos…
2021
Exhaled breath analysis for early disease detection may provide a convenient method for painless and non-invasive diagnosis. In this work, a novel, compact and easy-to-use breath analyzer platform with a modular sensing chamber and direct breath sampling unit is presented. The developed analyzer system comprises a compact, low volume, temperature-controlled sensing chamber in three modules that can host any type of resistive gas sensor arrays. Furthermore, in this study three modular breath analyzers are explicitly tested for reproducibility in a real-life breath analysis experiment with several calibration transfer (CT) techniques using transfer samples from the experiment. The experiment …
Reduced muscle inactivity, sedentary time and cardio-metabolic benefits : effectiveness of a one-year family-based cluster randomized controlled trial
2016
A driving hypothesis of the evolving field of sedentary behavior is that frequent muscle activity short-circuits detrimental physiological effects of sedentary time. However, the field relies mostly on observational health associations of proxy measures of muscle inactivity, like television viewing or lack of accelerometer-derived impacts. This study tested effectiveness of a family-based cluster-randomized controlled trial aimed at reducing and breaking up sedentary time at work and leisure time of families on muscle inactivity patterns, sedentary time and cardio-metabolic biomarkers. The intervention consisted of a lecture, face-to-face tailored counseling, two follow-up calls and five em…
Métodos de entrenamiento de fuerza alternativos para incrementar la activación muscular en ejercicios de empuje
2016
Introducción. Los movimientos en los que se empuja o presiona con los brazos a una resistencia externa constituyen un elemento clásico dentro de los programas de entrenamiento de la fuerza. Tradicionalmente se han empleado ejercicios convencionales con pesos libres y máquinas con los que se conseguía alcanzar intensidades de activación muscular altas. Sin embargo, tratando de incrementar en mayor medida la intensidad en este tipo de ejercicios, durante los últimos años se han comenzado a utilizar nuevos medios y métodos alternativos (por ejemplo utilizando dispositivos de suspensión, resistencia elástica o tratando de activar músculos de forma selectiva). No obstante, es escasa la evidencia…

Acute incremental endurance performance and explosive strength training period : muscle activity, acid-base balance and hormonal responses
2015
Johdanto. Akuutin kestävyys- ja voimaharjoituksen fysiologiset vasteet ilmenevät luurankolihaksissa, hengitys- ja verenkiertoelimistössä, sekä endokriinisessa että immuunijärjestelmässä. Nämä vasteet voivat heikentää suorituskykyä, ja esimerkiksi happo-emästasapaino on tarkoin säädelty negatiivisten seurausten varalta. Lihasten toimintaa voidaan tutkia elektromyografialla (EMG), ja nykyään on myös mahdollista käyttää tekstiilielektrodeja, jotka mahdollistavat lihasryhmien sähköisen aktiivisuuden tallentamisen normaalin liikkumisen aikana. Tämän tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tutkia yhteyksiä etu- ja takareisien lihasaktiivisuuksien ja happo-emästasapainon välillä, vertailla lihasaktiivisuuks…
Sit-stand workstations : effects on occupational sitting time, potential health benefits, and acute postural physiology
2017
Given that a high amount of sedentary behavior is a global health issue, reducing sitting time is emerging as a novel intervention strategy and a workplace health priority. Sit-stand workstations have been introduced to the workplace, and can be used to rotate between sitting and standing postures at work. It is important to develop and evaluate sit-stand interventions that aim to induce behavioral changes and potential health benefits, in order to effectively implement them into practice. Therefore, this thesis examined whether and to what extent sit-stand workstations can reduce occupational sitting and improve health indexes in a real workplace. The thesis included four studies in field …
