Neuromuscular performance limitations in cold

Limitations of exercise reconditioning in COLD.

T his comment by Alvan Barach in 1951 emphasizes the -relative ignorance that existed only three decades ago concerning the “reconditioning” of patients with chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD). Dr. Barach’s proposal to exercise patients with disorders of oxygen transport met with appropriate skepticism in the clinical community. Until well into the 1960s, the standard therapy for patients ...

Performance & Limitations

One of the visual tasks adopted as an "exemplar" for techniques by the Alvey MMI-007 consortium has been the detection and identification of vehicles in natural scenes. We have adopted a knowledge-based approach to the task, which seeks to explain the 2-D image in terms of known context and known geometry of the 3-D object being identified. This approach differs markedly from the more familiar ...

Limitations in Dual-Task Performance

Human Performance & Limitations

The aircraft accident that happened over the last 10 years has been classified into six categories according to their main contributing factors. Those results would have been the same if the figures represented the last 30 years or just the last year. The category is the largest one. It represents 70% of the accident. This figure represents all the accidents where the crew could really have don...

metabolic limitations of performance and fatigue in football

football participation requires considerable utilization of both aerobic and anaerobic energy systems to match the high energetic demands of the sport. the consequent stresses imposed on the physiological and metabolic systems carries players to the threshold of exhaustion during match-play, from which they are required to recover in preparation for the subsequent game. a high number of players...
