Investigating prismatic adaptation effects in handgrip strength and in plantar pressure in healthy subjects.
2020
Abstract Background Prismatic Adaptation (PA) is a visuomotor procedure inducing a shift of the visual field that has been shown to modulate activation of a number of brain areas, in posterior (i.e. parietal cortex) and anterior regions (i.e. frontal cortex). This neuromodulation could be useful to study neural mechanisms associated with either postural measures such as the distribution of plantar pressure or to the generation of muscle strength. Indeed, plantar pressure distribution is associated to activation of high-level cognitive mechanisms taking place within the posterior regions of the brain dorsal stream, especially of the right hemisphere. Conversely, hand force mostly rely on sen…
Deterioration in quality of life (QOL) in patients with malignant ascites : Results from a phase II/III study comparing paracentesis plus catumaxomab…
2012
Background: Malignant ascites (MA) is associated with poor prognosis and limited palliative therapeutic options. Therefore, quality of life (QoL) assessment is of particular importance to demonstrate new treatment value. Following the demonstration of the superiority of catumaxomab and paracentesis over paracentesis on puncture-free survival, this analysis aimed at comparing deterioration in QoL between both the treatment options. Patients and methods: In a randomised, multicentre, phase II/III study of patients with MA due to epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM) positive cancer, the QoL was evaluated using the European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer Quality of Life …
Selective activation of shoulder, trunk, and arm muscles: A comparative analysis of different push-up variants
2015
Context The push-up is a widely used exercise for upper limb strengthening that can be performed with many variants. A comprehensive analysis of muscle activation during the ascendant phase (AP) and descendant phase (DP) in different variants could be useful for trainers and rehabilitators. Objective To obtain information on the effect of different push-up variants on the electromyography (EMG) of a large sample of upper limb muscles and to investigate the role of the trunk and abdomen muscles during the AP and DP. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting University laboratory. Patients or Other Participants Eight healthy, young volunteers without a history of upper extremity or spine injury.…
Les rapports aux savoirs du sachant : Le savoir mis en circulation par l’enseignant-tuteur EPS dans l’entretien-conseil : une étude de cas en didacti…
2021
Our work consists in making an inventory of the transmissions that take place between the P.E. tutor and his trainee during the counselling interview. This official process concludes the day of the trainee's visit to the situation and brings professional knowledge into play. In the intervention professions, each actor acts in a singular way with the public he is responsible for. This activity is nourished by the references that have structured his conceptions and the events that have built his professional experience. However, when the tutor suddenly changes his intentions, other singularities must be taken into account. The way in which he positions himself in relation to what is expected …
Group fitness activities on elderly: who is eligible and who is not.
2012
Introduction While it is impossible to prevent every injury, literature suggests that injury rates could be reduced by 25% if people took appropriate preventative action. On the other side, one major problem of Group Fitness Instructors is to find the right intensity/level suitable for every attendee during classes (e.g. ballroom dancing). Therefore, the aim of this study was to examine the opportunity to adopt already validated function ability tests on group fitness activities with the aim to prevent injuries and maintain or increase quality of life. Methods The study was conducted with a quasi-experimental design. The Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and the Barthel index (BI) were administered …
Improved postural control after dynamic balance training in older overweight women
2010
Background and Aims: Many studies have reported a greater frequency of falls among older women than men under conditions which stress balance. Previously, we have found an improvement in static balance in older women with an increased support surface area and an equal load redistribution on both feet in response to a dynamic balance training protocol. The aim of the present study was to examine whether the same training program and body composition would have effects on the postural control of older overweight women. Methods: Ten healthy women (68.67 ± 5.50 years; 28.17 ± 3.35 BMI) participated in a five-week physical activity program. This included dynamic balance exercises such as heel-to…
Les femmes, actrices de l'éducation physique et sportive, numéro spécial
2019
This special bilingual issue features contributions on the role women have played in PE (Physical Education). The challenge is to offer a comprehensive picture of their individual and collective journeys, their diverse identity constructs and their specific didactic and pedagogical orientations, but also to pinpoint the major steps taken in enabling them to secure key positions in the school institution, beyond purely teaching roles. Coincidentally, this issue of the STAPS journal follows in the wake of a special section on women and gender recently published in The International Journal of the History of Sport (Vertinsky & Hedenborg, 2018). The purpose of the supplement, which was edited b…

La didactique clinique comme mode d'accès aux savoirs des enseignants en ÉPS : le cas de l'enseignement du judo
2017
Este estudio exploratorio y comprensivo destaca los saberes personales de los docentes transmitidos durante el EPS. La investigación presenta tres viñetas didácticas clínicas de los docentes especialistas en judo. Los resultados muestran que estos saberes personales se construyeron durante la práctica de este deporte cuando estos docentes eran jóvenes practicantes. Se destaca el papel de lo que «se encuentra presente por la experiencia» («déjà-là expérientiel») y de los efectos en las concepciones de los docentes, en relación con el conocimiento personal de estos. Teniendo en cuenta los efectos decisivos de «lo experiencial y conceptual», proponemos algunas líneas de trabajo para la formaci…
