The cadence and water temperature effect on physiological responses during water cycling
2013
The aim of the study was to compare the maximal physiological responses during three protocols: maximal test on land cycle ergometer, maximal test on water cycling in an indoor pool at 27 °C (WC27) and at 31 °C (WC31). Moreover, the submaximal physiological responses were compared according cycling cadences and water temperatures during the water protocols. Ten young men were included and performed the protocols in separate days. Blood lactate (BL) concentration, heart rate (HR), oxygen uptake (VO2), ventilation (VE) and thermal comfort (TC) were collected during the exercise. The maximal HR and VO2 showed no significant differences between the protocols: HRmax: 189 ± 7 (Land), 188 ± 14 (WC…
Effect of total knee replacement surgery and postoperative 12 month home exercise program on gait parameters
2017
Abstract Objective To evaluate the effects of surgery and a postoperative progressive home exercise program on gait parameters among individuals operated with total knee arthroplasty. Design Single blinded randomized controlled trial. Subjects 108 patients (84 females, 24 males, mean age 69 years). Interventions Patients were equally randomized into an exercise group (EG) and control group (CG). The 12-months progressive home exercise program starting two months postoperatively was compared to usual care. Methods Gait analysis was performed using the Gaitrite electronic walkway system. In addition, knee extension and flexion strength were measured by a dynamometer preoperatively, and pain o…
Differences in gait characteristics between total hip, knee, and ankle arthroplasty patients: a six-month postoperative comparison.
2013
International audience; BACKGROUND: The recovery of gait ability is one of the primary goals for patients following total arthroplasty of lower-limb joints. The aim of this study was to objectively compare gait differences of patients after unilateral total hip arthroplasty (THA), total knee arthroplasty (TKA) and total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) with a group of healthy controls. METHODS: A total of 26 TAA, 26 TKA and 26 THA patients with a mean (+/- SD) age of 64 (+/- 9) years were evaluated six months after surgery and compared with 26 matched healthy controls. Subjects were asked to walk at self-selected normal and fast speeds on a validated pressure mat. The following spatiotemporal gait …
Effects of the cycling workload on core and local skin temperatures
2016
[EN] Purpose: The aim of the study was to determine the influence of cycling workload on the variation of core and skin temperature of the different body regions, and the relationship between both temperature variables. Method: Fourteen cyclists performed two 45-min cycling tests at 35% and 50% of peak power output on different days. The cadence was constant in both tests (90 rpm). Core temperature was measured continuously throughout the test and local skin temperature was recorded before, immediately after and 10 min after finishing the cycling test. Differences in variation of the core and skin temperature and in the effort perception and body mass loss due to different cycling workload …
Comparative Decadence? Male Queerness in Late Nineteenth- and Late Twentieth-Century Fiction
2018
Emig’s chapter compares Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray and Alan Hollinghurst’s The Swimming-Pool Library. After outlining the different historical contexts of queer masculinity in the novels, it points out parallels, such as its legal repression in late Victorianism and at the time of the AIDS crisis under Thatcher. Wilde’s novel provokes with homoerotic longing, Hollinghurst’s with pornographic depictions of gay sex. Both texts are decadent fantasies, yet also criticise double standards of hegemonic masculinity and heteronormativity. Hollinghurst’s novel further exposes its Wildean subtext as class-ridden and colonial. In addition, the scandalous male as narcissistic consumer of …
‘Internationalizing Pearl Craigie’
2018
International audience; My presentation focuses on Pearl Craigie (aka John Oliver Hobbes), arguably a key figure of cosmopolitan fin de siècle. Born in the U.S. but educated in Britain and partly in France, Craigie became overnight famous with Some Emotions and a Moral in 1891 although the novella was published in Fisher T. Unwin’s Pseudonymous Series. In 1892 Craigie converted to Catholicism while embarking on a series of tales, plays, journalistic contributions including travelogues, and novels with a noted internationalistic vein. If her position within British Decadence is arguably debatable, her cosmopolitanism is not: from her personal networks to her literary writings including her j…
