Mental fatigue induced by prolonged self-regulation does not exacerbate central fatigue during subsequent whole-body endurance exercise
2015
International audience; It has been shown that the mental fatigue induced by prolonged self-regulation increases perception of effort and reduces performance during subsequent endurance exercise. However, the physiological mechanisms underlying these negative effects of mental fatigue are unclear. The primary aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that mental fatigue exacerbates central fatigue induced by whole-body endurance exercise. Twelve subjects performed 30 min of either an incongruent Stroop task to induce a condition of mental fatigue or a congruent Stroop task (control condition) in a random and counterbalanced order. Both cognitive tasks (CTs) were followed by a whole-body …

Quantum Motion of Chemisorbed Hydrogen on Ni Surfaces
1983
Quantum mechanical energy levels and wave functions have been calculated for the motion of chemisorbed hydrogen atoms on Ni surfaces. The results show considerable quantum effects for the adatom in both the ground and the excited states. The description of the adparticles as being delocalized along the surface offers a novel interpretation of several phenomena, in particular the vibrational excitations. Peer reviewed
Wpływ stanu napięcia mięśni dna miednicy na ocenę poziomu zaburzeń erekcji i nietrzymania moczu u osób po prostatektomii radykalnej. Doniesienie wstę…
2017
Celem pracy była ocena, jak napięcie mięśni dna miednicy (MDM) mierzonego za pomocą sEMG wpływa na ocenę obiektywną i subiektywną trzymania moczu oraz zaburzeń erekcji. W badaniach uczestniczyło 10 mężczyzn, będących po zabiegu prostatektomii. Nasilenie objawów nietrzymania moczu oceniano na podstawie kwestionariusza ICIQ-SF, aktywność seksualną kwestionariuszem IIEF-5. Nie wykazano istotnego statystycznie związku między napięciem MDM, ocenianego za pomocą sEMG, a obiektywnymi wyznacznikami nietrzymania moczu, jednakże zaobserwowano tendencję, że niższe napięcie MDM występuje częściej u chorych ze wszystkimi dolegliwościami w ocenie subiektywnej.
Interactive multiobjective optimization for finding the most preferred exercise therapy modality in knee osteoarthritis
2022
Abstract Background There are no explicit guidelines or tools available to support clinicians in selecting exercise therapy modalities according to the characteristics of individual patients despite the apparent need. Objective This study develops a methodology based on a novel multiobjective optimization model and examines its feasibility as a decision support tool to support healthcare professionals in comparing different modalities and identifying the most preferred one based on a patient’s needs. Methods Thirty-one exercise therapy modalities were considered from 21 randomized controlled trials. A novel interactive multiobjective optimization model was designed to characterize the effic…

Jyväskylän yliopisto, liikunta- ja terveystieteiden tiedekunta, terveystieteiden laitos, 2012. 167 sivua, 36 liitesivua. Tämä tutkimus on osa Jyväskylän yliopiston johtamaa Osallistava potilasohjaus fysioterapiassa -tutkimushanketta. Tämän osatutkimuksen tavoitteena on ymmärtää kuntoutumisen merkityksiä lonkan tekonivelleikkauksesta kuntoutuville. Tutkimusaineisto koostuu kymmenen, 63–79-vuotiaan kuntoutujan haastatteluista leikkaukseen valmistautuessa ja siitä kuntoutumisen alkuvaiheessa. Tutkimuksessa selvitetään, minkälaisia tarinoita he kert…
Consumo de alimentos funcionales: factores determinantes
2019
El concepto de alimento funcional nació en Japón en 1991, y desde entonces ha sido objeto de estudio debido al gran crecimiento de mercado que ha experimentado esta categoría de producto en las últimas décadas (Arai, Osawa, Ohigashi, Yoshikawa, Kaminogawa, Watanabe, . . . Nishino, 2001). En líneas generales, podemos definir que un alimento se considera funcional si se demuestra que ejerce un efecto beneficioso sobre una o más funciones selectivas del organismo, además de sus efectos nutritivos intrínsecos, de modo que mejore el estado de salud y bienestar, reduzca el riesgo de enfermedad, o ambas cosas (Diplock, Agget,Ashwell, Bornet, Fern y Roberfroid, 1999). Ahora bien, el consumidor s…
SOME EXAMPLES RELATED TO A CLASS OF FUNCTIONALS WITHOUT GLOBAL MINIMA
2012
Abstract: In this paper, we provide six examples which show the sharpness of the assumptions of a recent deep result of Ricceri about a class of functionals without global minima.
Parietal Cortex Connectivity as a Marker of Shift in Spatial Attention Following Continuous Theta Burst Stimulation
2021
Non-invasive brain stimulation is a useful tool to probe brain function and provide therapeutic treatments in disease. When applied to the right posterior parietal cortex (PPC) of healthy participants, it is possible to temporarily shift spatial attention and mimic symptoms of spatial neglect. However, the field of brain stimulation is plagued by issues of high response variability. The aim of this study was to investigate baseline functional connectivity as a predictor of response to an inhibitory brain stimulation paradigm applied to the right PPC. In fourteen healthy adults (9 female, aged 24.8 ± 4.0 years) we applied continuous theta burst stimulation (cTBS) to suppress activity in the …
