Test-retest reliability data of functional performance, strength, peak torque and body composition assessments in two different age groups of Kosovan…

2021

This article reports test-retest reliability data of laboratory- and field-based performance tests as well as body composition analyses of younger and older Kosovan adults. In total, 57 healthy young (18–35 years) and 61 older (>60 years) participants took part in two identical test sessions, with a median [25th – 75th percentile] of 14 [13–21] days in between. Functional performance tests included 30-s chair stand test (CST), 30-s arm curl test (ACT), six-minutes walking test (6MWT), sit and reach test, timed up and go test (TUG), as well as the assessment of gait speed (GS) at normal and fast pace. Isometric handgrip strength (HGS) was used to estimate strength of the dominant hand. Isoki…

The effects of mental fatigue on sport-related performance

2018

International audience; Mental fatigue is known to increase subjective feelings of fatigue and to decrease cognitive performance, but its impact on physical performance remains poorly understood. The aim of this chapter was to review the results of 29 studies published between 2009 and April 2018 and focusing on the impact of mental fatigue on sport-related performance. Taken all studies together, it appears that mental fatigue impairs endurance performance, motor skills performance and decision-making performance. However, maximal force production is not reduced in the presence of mental fatigue. These observations suggest that mental fatigue impairs sport-related performance during exerci…

Enseigner la rhétorique à l’École de Bruxelles

2021

Cet article expose la conception de l’enseignement de la rhétorique à l’École de Bruxelles. Il explique l’origine de la démarche dans la pensée de Perelman. Il montre ensuite comment l’équipe du GRAL a retrouvé l’enseignement des exercices de rhétorique par les sophistes. Il propose une réflexion épistémologique pour montrer la spécificité de cet enseignement. Il termine enfin par l’exposé d’un exercice de délibération conçu et animé par les membres du GRAL. This paper outlines the conception of the teaching of rhetoric at the Brussels School. It explains the origin of the approach in the thought of Perelman. It then shows how the GRAL team recovered the teaching of rhetorical exercises by …

Evaluation of the effects of a program of "homework" for the maintenance of the outcomes achieved at three months after discharge from integrated hom…

2010

When the rehabilitation treatment performed in the acute phase of illness is over, in our experience, the majority of patients do not continue the rehabilitation exercises thus risking a reduction in the ability retrieved and increasing disability. So despite the achievements with the rehabilitation treatment at home, discharge the patients could produce a worsening of their disability. In order to encourage patients to continue physical exercise after discharge from integrated home care, we proposed a personalized exercise program to be carried out at home. We evaluated after three months effectiveness in order to sustain the degree of self-sufficiency and the health reached at discharge

Exercise acts as a drug; the pharmacological benefits of exercise

2012

The beneficial effects of regular exercise for the promotion of health and cure of diseases have been clearly shown. In this review, we would like to postulate the idea that exercise can be considered as a drug. Exercise causes a myriad of beneficial effects for health, including the promotion of health and lifespan, and these are reviewed in the first section of this paper. Then we deal with the dosing of exercise. As with many drugs, dosing is extremely important to get the beneficial effects of exercise. To this end, the organism adapts to exercise. We review the molecular signalling pathways involved in these adaptations because understanding them is of great importance to be able to pr…

Impulsivity and physical activity: A T-Pattern detection of motor behavior profiles.

2020

The relation between impulsivity and physical activity has been scantly investigated. Actually, during physical activity, several goals are achieved on the basis of a certain dose of impulsiveness. This study detects motor and interactive behavior profiles from athletes with traits of impulsiveness, moderate impulsiveness and non-impulsiveness, performing open motor tasks concerning material, space and interaction behaviors. A specific test was administered to assess the impulsivity profiles of athletes; then the Observational System of Motor Skills, Space, Time and Interaction (OSMOSTI), was used to observe and detect movement sequences patterns throughout T-Pattern detection and analysis …

Environmental Barriers and Facilitators to Physical Activity among University Students with Physical Disability—A Qualitative Study in Spain

2021

This paper qualitatively examines environmental factors operating as barriers and/or facilitators to participation in physical activity (PA) of people with physical disabilities. Interview data were collected from 27 Spanish university students through the innovative method of two-on-one interviews. Thereafter, data were subject to a flexible thematic analysis. Three themes were constructed: associations
