This study examines the effects of sleep on learning in a face identification task. Five groups of subjects performed a 1-of-10 face identification task in two sessions separated by 3, 12, and 24h. Session 1 consisted of four blocks of 105 trials each; Session 2 consisted of eight blocks of trials. All groups exhibited significant improvement in response accuracy within each session. Furthermor...

INTRODUCTION Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a rare and severe chronic pain condition, often responds poorly to existing treatments. Previous studies demonstrated Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) provided short-term pain relief for upper extremity CRPS. METHODS Building on previous methodologies, we employed a TMS protocol that may lead to significant pain relief for upper and l...

This study aimed to investigate mechanisms of neuromuscular fatigue during maximal concentric and isometric leg extensions inducing similar torque decrements. Nine physically active men performed two separate fatiguing sessions maintained until similar torque decreases were obtained. The first session, only conducted under isokinetic concentric conditions (CON), consisted of three series of 30 ...

Autonomic disturbances are common non-motor symptoms in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Two Japanese men with PD performed three sessions of ergometer exercise each day. The first session involved conventional training the second session involved ergometer exercise in an upright posture, and the third session involved ergometer exercise in a supine posture. We measured the short-term he...

An adaptive transmission protocol is described and evaluated for use in wireless communication networks that employ dynamic spectrum assignment. The protocol interacts with a spectrum assignment system to select the modulation format and symbol transmission rate for each session. The power is adjusted during the initial part of each session, and code-rate adaptation is employed to compensate fo...

The present study examined the influence of training, followed by a short period of detraining, on postprandial lipaemia. Fourteen normolipidaemic, recreationally active young adults aged 18-31 years participated, in two self-selected groups: three men and five women (BMI 21.7-27.6 kg/m2) completed 13 weeks of running training, after which they refrained from exercise for 9 d; three men and thr...

It has been shown that children with mental disabilities have weaker basic motor skills than healthy children. The main aim of this study was to determine the effect eight weeks Spark training program on fine and gross 6 8 year old male students trainable disability. This research is applied quasi-experimental research. By selecting subjects from among exceptional schools, 30 people were select...

We aimed at evaluating the effect of short-duration stair climbing–descending exercise (ST-EX) on 24-hour blood glucose (BG) response in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Seven men (age, 70.1 ± 1.3 years) uncomplicated T2D consumed three meals per day according to a meal plan for patients diabetes. Participants completed one session ST-EX 60 and 120 min after each first (ST-EX day), did not pe...
