The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of potentiation on stimulation-induced muscle function during and after an intense bout of self-paced dynamic exercise. Ten active subjects performed a time trial involving repetitive concentric extension-flexion of the right knee using a Biodex dynamometer. Electrical stimulation before and after a 5 s maximal isometric voluntary contraction ...

A prototype portable device that allows for simultaneous hand and fingers motion precise force measurements has been. Wireless microelectromechanical systems based on inertial sensors are suitable tracking bodily measurements. In particular, they can be used interaction with computer applications. Our interest is to design a multimodal wireless grip measures evaluates this activity ludic or med...

Introduction: For several years, researchers have been looking for methods to quantify the force or pressure exerted by the tongue. A lot of devices were constructed for this purpose. However, on Speech-Language Pathology clinical practice, tongue force is still evaluated by qualitative methods in which only perception and practical experience are used to classify this force. Quantitative evalu...

Contemporary theoretical accounts of metacognition propose that action-related information is used in the computation perceptual decision confidence. We investigated whether amount expended physical effort, or ‘motoric sunk cost’ a decision, influences confidence judgements humans. In particular, we examined people feel more confident decisions which required effort to report. Forty-two partici...

The cutting forces that occur during machining cause static and dynamic deformations of the machine–tool–workpiece system. In general, force is spatial. However, knowledge tangential component crucial for optimum use power installed on spindle. An important parameter modeling coefficient. This paper focuses approach in-process identification edge components coefficient, using spindle signal rea...

Abstract Objectives Low muscular strength is a risk factor for current and future adverse health outcomes. However, whether levels of persist, or track, if there are distinct trajectories across the life course unclear. This study aimed to explore between childhood mid-adulthood. Design Prospective longitudinal study. Methods Childhood Determinants Adult Health Study participants had their (rig...

In parallel with the significant reduction of impact vehicles on environment, development modern propulsion systems that have less and harmful impact, new pollutants are being identified vehicle. One such is brakes, which wear out lead to formation particles released into air, i.e. generally environment. Investigation mechanism particle during braking, thus brake today becoming one important ar...

Passenger cars account for the largest share of GHG emissions in road sector. However, given that number heavy-duty vehicles registered is lower but accounts about a quarter sector, it necessary to reduce carbon dioxide (CO2) by improving fuel efficiency vehicles. experiments using dynamometers during vehicle development process consume lot time and cost. Conversely, simulations can quantitativ...
