Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background An important factor related to low physical activity in cardiac patients is fear movement (kinesiophobia). The setting rehabilitation (CR) seems suitable for targeting kinesiophobia. Nevertheless, the impact CR on kinesiophobia currently unknown, partly due absence information responsiveness instruments measure Purpose ...

In this study, localised and non-uniform urban morphology (UM) fraction (UF) parameters are implemented in a single-layer canopy scheme the Weather Research Forecasting (WRF) mesoscale meteorological model. The purpose of research is to evaluate effect refined parameterisation on simulation dynamic thermal fields Guangzhou metropolitan area. results showed that, compared with default WRF model,...

Nowadays, fuzzy rule-based systems are successfully applied to many different real-world problems. Unfortunately, relatively few well-structured methodologies exist for designing and, in many cases, human experts are not able to express the knowledge needed to solve the problem in the form of fuzzy rules. Takagi-Sugeno-Kang (TSK) fuzzy rule-based systems were enunciated in order to solve this d...

This study compared alternating current and pulsed current electrical muscle stimulation (EMS) for torque output, skin temperature (Tsk), blood lactate and hormonal responses, and skeletal muscle damage markers. Twelve healthy men (23-48 yr) received alternating current EMS (2.5 kHz delivered at 75 Hz, 400 micros) for the knee extensors of one leg and pulsed current (75 Hz, 400 micros) for the ...

The sweat glands maximum ion reabsorption rates were investigated (n = 12, 21.7 ± 3.0 years, 59.4 ± 9.8 kg, 166.9 ± 10.4 cm and 47.1 ± 7.5 mL/kg/min) during two separate endogenous protocols; cycling at 30% (LEX) and 60% VO2max (MEX) and one exogenous trial; passive heating (PH) (43°C water lower leg immersion) in 27°C, 50%RH. Oesophageal temperature (Tes ), skin temperature (Tsk ), and forearm...

introduction: anterior cruciate ligament (acl) rupture is one of the most common sport injuries. despite present progresses in conservative and surgical treatment methods for acl, the rate of return to pre-injury level (rtp) is low. fear of movement/reinjury (kinesiophobia) is a major hindrance to rtp in these patients. the aim of the following research was to investigate functional tests’ effe...
