Using a high-stakes field experiment conducted with financial brokerage, we implement novel design to separately identify two channels of social influence in decisions, both widely studied theoretically.When someone purchases an asset, his peers may also want purchase it, because they learn from choice ("social learning") and possession the asset directly affects others' utility owning same utility").We randomize whether one member peer pair who chose has that implemented, thus randomizing...
Patients with ischemic stroke attributed to large- or small-vessel disease are not considered at high risk for atrial fibrillation (AF), and the AF incidence rate in this population is unknown.To determine whether long-term cardiac monitoring more effective than usual care detection patients through 12 months of follow-up.The STROKE-AF trial was a randomized (1:1), multicenter (33 sites US) clinical that enrolled 496 between April 2016 July 2019, primary end point follow-up August 2020....
We are currently witnessing an unprecedented era of digital transformation in sports, driven by the revolutions Artificial Intelligence (AI), Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented (AR), and Data Visualization (DV). These technologies hold promise redefining sports performance analysis, automating data collection, creating immersive training environments, enhancing decision-making processes. Traditionally, analysis relied on manual subjective observations, standard statistical models. methods,...
Balance is an essential component of movement and critical in the ability to participate physical activity. Developing exergaming curriculum for schools has potential improve balance or postural stability children. In this study, a purposely-built center elementary school was used test fourth grade students with specially designed oriented toward improving stability. The program implemented over 6-week period, 34 min per day, 4–5 days week. Two control groups were used: (1) education (PE)...
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the accuracy Polar M600 optical heart rate (OHR) sensor compared with ECG (HR) measurement during various physical activities.Thirty-six subjects participated in a continuous 76-min testing session, which included rest, cycling warm-up, intervals, circuit weight training, treadmill and recovery. HR measured using three-lead configuration Sport Watch on left wrist. Statistical analyses OHR percent accuracy, mean difference, absolute error,...
The STROKE AF study found that in patients with prior ischemic stroke attributed to large-artery atherosclerotic disease (LAD) or small-vessel occlusive (SVD), 12% developed over 1 year when monitored an insertable cardiac monitor (ICM). occurrence subsequent years is unknown.
The aim of this study was to determine the precision and accuracy vertical anterior-posterior force components portable PASCO PS-2142 plate. Impulse, peak force, time were assessed compared a gold standard plate in three different tasks: jump, forward sprint start. Two healthy male participants performed ten trials for each task, resulting 60 trials. Data analyses revealed good component plate, with relative bias root mean square (RMS) error values nearly same all tasks impulse, parameters....
The aim of this study was to determine the biomechanical parameters that explain ventral start performance in swimming. For purpose, 13 elite swimmers performed different variants technique. Two-dimensional video analyses aerial and underwater phases were used assess 16 kinematic from starting signal 5 m, an instrumented block kinetic data. A Lasso regression reduce number parameters, providing main determinants performance, revealing combinations key determinants, depending on variant (r² ≥...
With the novelty of exergames, an alternative form entertainment and exercise emerged especially for physical education (PE). While video games have been historically associated to problems such as obesity, social introversion aggressive behavior, exergames brought a new perspective in which these cultural artifacts could contribute people's concerning practice activity. This article presents study about setting up exergame lab focusing on kids preadolescents who usually show signs...
<h3>Objectives:</h3> To determine whether vascular and demographic factors predict worsening disability up to 8 years after lacunar stroke. <h3>Methods:</h3> SPS3 (Secondary Prevention of Small Subcortical Strokes) was a clinical trial in stroke patients with annual assessment using the Older Americans Resources Survey instrumental activities daily living (IADL) scale (range 0–14). Generalized estimating equations modeled likelihood (IADL <14) over time, adjusting for demographics,...
Insufficient physical activity (PA) levels observed among older adults remain extremely high and pose a danger to developing maintaining their literacy (PL). Each person’s level of PL partly depends on cognitive skills, confidence level, degree motivation practice PA daily. New technologies, such as exergames wearable fitness trackers, may enable increase PL, stimulating uptake ongoing participation. Objective: This focus group study aims describe adults’ perceptions the use technologies...
Purpose: This study assessed the reliability and validity of different methods used to estimate lower-limb muscular power capability based on mechanical variables. For this purpose, vertical jumping was compared with isokinetic knee extensions wi
Administered mental health patients (10 outpatients and 8 inpatients) the Eysenck Personality Inventory using computerized manual format. In a cross-over, counterbalanced design scores for three EPI scales did not differ between administrations. Test-retest reliability forms was high comparable to previous reported form. It suggested that automation of routine testing procedures may be viable economical alternative traditional methods.
Integrating sensing devices into sports equipment such as tennis racquets, basketballs and soccer balls has great potential for measuring performance, training athletes encouraging participation. These innovative, interactive tools provide real time feedback systems collecting analysis data could effective support coaches athletes. The 94fifty™ is an instrumented basketball that the same specifications a standard with addition of sensor provides on shot arc, speed, number dribbles in through...
Healthy ageing is a global priority due to growing older population, which increases the need for preventive measures and tailored technology. In health technology development, co-design emphasised as valuable strategy support person-centred approach. Co-design, value-driven collaborative approach, involves end users in development processes overcome barriers connected capability, opportunity, motivation. While number of adults are involved design processes, there deficit suitable...
Vertical jump is one of the most important basic skills because it widely used in many different sports (e.g. blocking and hitting volleyball, layups jumps shots basketball, heading soccer). Our research examines validity VERT™ (Mayfonk Athletic Company) wearable sensing device, designed to measure height jumped. The VERT quite small measuring 4.98 cm length, 0.79 width 2.18 height. It consists an inertial measurement unit (IMU) 3X gyroscope – accelerometer worn near waist athlete. Real-time...
Introduction: We investigated the effects of an exergames-based exercise program for older adults, and its benefits on their physical literacy (PL) domains, such as (mobility skills), affective (motivation confidence), cognitive (knowledge about activity [PA]), behavioral (daily exertion) when compared with a conventional no training (NT) (control). Material Methods: Forty adults (mean age 72 years) volunteered were randomized within three groups—exergame (ET; n = 15), (CT; 14), NT (n 11)....
Interactive student response systems, commonly referred to as clickers, have increased in popularity higher education classrooms a means improve engagement and enhance learning. Clicker systems come with handheld devices well radio frequency receiver. A Wi-Fi connection the receiver is possible, enabling students use their personal smartphones, tablets, or laptops instead of device. The objective this study was determine feasibility using enabled clickers large university class. In addition,...
