Performance benefits conferred in the untrained limb after unilateral motor practice are termed cross-limb transfer. Although the effect is robust, the neural mechanisms remain incompletely understood. In this study we used noninvasive brain stimulation to reveal that the neural adaptations that mediate motor learning in the trained limb are distinct from those that underlie cross-limb transfer...

UNLABELLED Exercise training results in a speeding of pulmonary oxygen uptake (VO2) kinetics at the onset of exercise in adults; however, only limited research has been conducted with children and adolescents. PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to examine VO2 and muscle deoxygenation kinetics in trained and untrained male adolescents. METHODS Sixteen trained (15 +/- 0.8 yr, VO2peak = ...

Objective: Research on the untrained women’s cardiovascular health is a hot topic in the world. It is important to systematically assess the effects of exercise duration on cardiovascular health in untrained women. Methods: Published articles from 1988 to May 2015 were identified using electronic databases for randomized controlled trails. The weighted mean differences and 95% confidence interv...

Using an airway management training model, we have assessed anaesthesia personnel in their use of correct cricoid force and ability to retain this skill after a short training programme. A perspex device, working on a hydraulic principle, was used to measure cricoid pressure when applied to the model. After initial assessment at two levels of cricoid force (20 and 40 N), participants undertook ...

Deep learning has become a prominent tool for video denoising. However, most existing deep denoising methods require supervised training using noise-free videos. Collecting videos can be costly and challenging in many applications. Therefore, this paper aims to develop an unsupervised method that only uses single test noisy training. To achieve this, loss function is presented provides unbiased...

Control entropy (CE) is a complexity analysis suitable for dynamic, non-stationary conditions which allows the inference of the control effort of a dynamical system generating the signal. These characteristics make CE a highly relevant time varying quantity relevant to the dynamic physiological responses associated with running. Using High Resolution Accelerometry (HRA) signals we evaluate here...

R. Reber and Perruchet (this issue) argue that use of control groups without training is unsound for establishing that learning has occurred. We show that inferring learning from a difference between a trained group and an untrained control in no way relies on their implausible additivity assumption, and that untrained control groups can be an invaluable aid to the researcher.

according to the few studies in active rest interval between the resistance exercises sets, it can’t be explicitly commented about the effect of it on performance in consecutive sets. purpose: the purpose of the current study was to compare different active and passive rest interval durations (3 and 4 minutes) on the numbers of repetition of bench press with 50 and 75 percent of 1rm in untraine...
