Reliability and validity of time domain heart rate variability during daily rout¡ne activities : an alternative to the morning orthostatic test?
2017
Summary Study aim: To determine the reliability and validity of a time domain heart rate variability (HRV) index during free-living physical activity (FLPA). Material and methods: Eight white-collar workers participated in this study. RR intervals (time between consecutive R-peaks of the PQRS complex) were recorded using the Polar V800 heart rate (HR) monitor upon awakening and at work on 16 different days. A total of 127 cycles of sitting periods followed by walking breaks were included for consecutive pairwise analysis for reliability. The HR values from the orthostatic test (OT) were compared with the corresponding values at work. Results: The HR values showed high levels of repeatabilit…
Cement augmentation for trochanteric fracture in elderly: A systematic review()
2021
Abstract Background Cement augmentation of internal fixation of hip fracture has reported to improve fracture stability in osteoporotic hip fractures, reducing the risk of cut-out of the sliding screw through the femoral head. The purpose of present study was to perform a systematic literature review on the effects of augmentation technique in patients with osteoporotic hip fractures. Material and methods A comprehensive literature search was systematically performed to evaluate all papers published in English language included in the literature between January 2010 and July 2020, according to the PRISMA 2009 guidelines. In vivo and in vitro studies, case reports, review articles, cadaveric…
Motor imagery and cortico-spinal excitability: A review
2016
International audience; Motor imagery (MI) has received a lot of interest during the last decades as its chronic or acute use has demonstrated several effects on improving sport performances or skills. The development of neuroimagery techniques also helped further our understanding of the neural correlates underlying MI. While some authors showed that MI, motor execution and action observation activated similar motor cortical regions, transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) studies brought great insights on the role of the primary motor cortex and on the activation of the cortico-spinal pathway during MI. After defining MI and describing the TMS technique, a short report of MI activities on…
Effects of 24 h Compression Interventions with Different Garments on Recovery Markers during Running
2021
Compression and temperature manipulation are discussed as strategies to improve performance markers and recovery in sports. Here, we investigate the effects of compression stockings made with fabric, either combined or not with heating and cooling substances, on variables related to running performance and recovery. Ten trained runners (mean ± standard deviation age 45 ± 9 years old, body mass 69 ± 7 kg, height 166 ± 4 cm) with no experience of using compression garments performed an intense running session of 10 km, then wore a stocking for 24 h (randomized
Stability of radial head and neck fractures: a biomechanical study of six fixation constructs with consideration of three locking plates.
2007
Open reduction and internal fixation of radial neck fractures can lead to secondary loss of reduction and nonunion due to insufficient stability. Nevertheless, there are only a few biomechanical studies about the stability achieved by different osteosynthesis constructs.Forty-eight formalin-fixed, human proximal radii were divided into 6 groups according to their bone density (measured by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry). A 2.7-mm gap osteotomy was performed to simulate an unstable radial neck fracture, which was fixed with 3 nonlocking implants: a 2.4-mm T plate, a 2.4-mm blade plate, and 2.0-mm crossed screws, and 3 locking plates: a 2.0-mm LCP T plate, a 2.0-mm 6x2 grid plate, and a 2.0…
The Effect of 16-Minute Thermal Stress and 2-Minute Cold Water Immersion on the Physiological Parameters of Young Sedentary Men
2020
This study aimed to determine the effect of 16 minutes of thermal stress followed by 2 minutes of cold water immersion on the physiological parameters of fifty-five sedentary men (mean age 20.15±1.30 years), who were exposed to 16 minutes of sauna (temperature: 90-91℃; relative humidity: 14-16%) followed by 2 minutes of cold water immersion (12℃). The participants' somatic characteristics were determined before entering the sauna, and their body mass and blood pressure were measured before and after sauna treatment. Physiological parameters were monitored during the 16-minute sauna session and the 2-minute cold water immersion (CRIO) or shower. The subjects perspired 0.21-0.27 litres during…
Latvijas medicīnas pakalpojumu eksports tūrisma formā
2015
Bakalaura darba tēma ir “Latvijas medicīnas pakalpojumu eksports tūrisma formā”. Medicīnas pakalpojumu eksports tūrisma formā ir samērā jauna un pievilcīga niša Latvijas medicīnas tirgū. Katru gadu strauji pieaug ārvalstu pacientu skaits. Savukārt veselības aprūpes iestādēm medicīnas tūrisms var pārvērsties pār ienesīgu nozari. Pētījuma mērķis ir noskaidrot medicīnas pakalpojumu saturu un noteikt eksporta palielināšanas iespējas. Darbā iegūtie rezultāti atspoguļo šobrīd esošo situāciju, pastāvošās problēmas medicīnas pakalpojumu tirgū. Medicīnas pakalpojumu eksportam ir visas priekšrocības izaugsmei. Tomēr tūrisma nozares nepietiekams atbalsts un likumdošanas trūkumi to palēnina. Bakalaura …
Etnoargumentos y discursos comunes en torno a un megaevento deportivo: La 32ª America's Cup vista por la sociedad anfitriona
2013
Entre 2004 y 2007, se celebró en Valencia, España, la 32ª edición de la America’s Cup, el evento deportivo más antiguo, el más prestigioso del mundo de la vela y uno de los de mayor impacto económico y mediático que existe en la actualidad a escala internacional. Aunque era la primera vez en que tal evento se celebraba en Europa los resultados fueron unánimemente considerados como un éxito de organización, asistencia y audiencias. Este artículo aborda un aspecto menos explorado de los megaeventos deportivos: las percepciones que sobre el mismo elaboraron los propios residentes. Para ello se realizó una investigación cualitativa –consistente en veinte entrevistas– que ha permitido identifica…
Triatleters indre monolog : en studie som tar for seg hva som kjennetegner triatleters indre monolog under en konkurransesetting og om det er forskje…
2016
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap - Universitetet i Agder 2016 The aim of this study is to survey the use of self-talk at triathletes. Are there any differences between the use of self-talk at triathletes with a high level of performance, compared to triathletes at a lower level of performance? There were a total of 20 participants in the study, where ten of them were athletes from the Norwegian national team of triathlon. These ten represented the participants of a high level of performance. The remaining ten, were club triathletes who represented the group with a lower level of performance. There were completed both frekvency, correlation- and regressionanalyses, and the result can be unde…
