The gain of the vertical angular vestibuloocular reflex (aVOR) was adaptively altered by visual-vestibular mismatch during rotation about an interaural axis, using steps of velocity in three head orientations: upright, left-side down, and right-side down. Gains were decreased by rotating the animal and visual surround in the same direction and increased by visual and surround rotation in opposi...

The purpose of this study was to compare strength training with and without superimposed electromyostimulation (EMS) on muscle strength and anaerobic power. Twenty-eight subjects were assigned to: weight+EMS (ES), weight (VOL), or control group (CG). ES and VOL performed 4 training sessions per week during 4 weeks on a knee extension machine (8 sets; 8 repetitions; 1-second concentric phase fro...

In this study, we investigated a new method of training for maximal strength and flexibility, which included exertion with superimposed vibration (vibratory stimulation, VS) on target muscles. Twenty-eight male athletes were divided into three groups, and trained three times a week for 3 weeks in one of the following conditions: (A) conventional exercises for strength of the arms and VS stretch...

Force intermittency is one of the major causes of motor variability. Focusing on the dynamics of force intermittency, this study was undertaken to investigate how force trajectory is fine-tuned for static and dynamic force-tracking of a comparable physical load. Twenty-two healthy adults performed two unilateral resistance protocols (static force-tracking at 75% maximal effort and dynamic force...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of whole body vibration (WBV) training on maximal strength, squat jump, and flexibility of well-trained combat athletes. Twelve female and 8 male combat athletes (age: 22.8 ± 3.1 years, mass: 65.4 ± 10.7 kg, height: 168.8 ± 8.8 cm, training experience: 11.6 ± 4.7 years, training volume: 9.3 ± 2.8 hours/week) participated in this study. The...

This work aims to propose a method enabling the evaluation of wind turbine blade damage and fatigue related 1 Hz speed signal applied large period based on standard 10-min SCADA data. Previous studies emphasize need for sampling with frequency when carrying out computation. However, such methods cannot be evaluate long time due complexity computation data availability. Moreover, are not commonl...
