Acute moderate intensity continuous aerobic exercise can improve specific cognitive functions, such as short-term memory and selective attention. Moreover, high-intensity interval training (HIT) has been recently proposed a time-efficient alternative to traditional cardiorespiratory exercise. However, considering previous speculations that the affects cognition in U-shaped fashion, it was hypothesized HIT session may impair performance. Therefore, this study assessed effects of an acute on...
Abstract Background Exercises with motor complexity induce neuroplasticity in individuals Parkinson's disease (PD), but its effects on freezing of gait are unknown. The objective this study was to verify if adapted resistance training instability — exercises will be more effective than traditional rehabilitation without improving freezing‐of‐gait severity, outcomes linked gait, and brain function. Methods Freezers were randomized either the group (n = 17) or active control (traditional...
To examine the effect of long lasting practice on pedal behavior in sport, we compared experienced adult soccer players and nonsoccer leg preference motor tasks requiring general mobilization, related body balance stabilization. We also evaluated performance asymmetry between right left legs static dynamic unipedal balance, based center pressure displacement, correlated that with stabilization tasks. Results revealed (a) a distinct mobilization tasks, which were significantly different...
Freezing of gait (FoG) in Parkinson's disease (PD) is an incapacitating transient phenomenon, followed by continuous postural disorders. Spinal cord stimulation (SCS) a promising intervention for FoG patients with PD, however, its effects on distinct domains control not well known. The aim this study to assess the SCS and control. Four were implanted systems upper thoracic spine. Anticipatory adjustment (APA), reactive responses, biomechanically assessed. In general, results showed that...
The influence of bilateral practice on the modification well-established lateral asymmetries performance was investigated in overlearned motor skills related to soccer 12- 14-year-old adolescent players. participants had extensive before entering experiment and were trained 2 hours per day, five times week, during a period 4 months. In training, assigned one two groups: with emphasis preferred leg (PL), or nonpreferred (NpL). Lateral assessed after training three tasks: kicking for force,...
Abstract Strength of leg preference and interlateral asymmetry in kinematics kicking a ball for power were assessed 6‐ to 10‐year‐old right‐footed soccer player children. Leg was evaluated separately three task categories: balance stabilization, related mobilization, general mobilization. The results showed that while both categories mobilization tasks featured by consistent the right leg, stabilization we observed lower scores greater interindividual variability preference. No effect age...
Abstract Knowledge of brain correlates postural control is limited by the technical difficulties in performing controlled experiments with currently available neuroimaging methods. Here we present a system that allows measurement anticipatory adjustment human legs to be synchronized acquisition functional magnetic resonance imaging data. The device composed Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) compatible force sensors able measure level applied both feet. We tested group healthy young subjects...
Key points Individuals with freezing of gait (FoG) due to Parkinson's disease (PD) have small and long anticipatory postural adjustments (APAs) associated delayed step initiation. FoG (‘freezers’) may require functional reorganization spinal mechanisms perform APAs supraspinal dysfunction. As presynaptic inhibition (PSI) is centrally modulated allow execution motor commands, it be deficient in freezers during APAs. We show that presented PSI quiet stance (control task), but they loss (i.e....
Amount of serial sitting and standing movements has been employed in clinical research settings to assess legs' muscular strength. In this cross-sectional study, we aimed test the correlation between 30-s sit-to-stand power (30STSp) outcome body balance older adults. We evaluated physically active male female (n = 51) individuals with an age range 60-80 years (M 69.29). Participants were assessed on maximum number repetitions for 30STSp performance tasks, as follows: quiet unipedal support,...
The perspective that the cortex controls body balance has gained attention with advent of neuroimaging techniques measure cortical activity on-site 1. growing accessibility equipment (fNIRS and EEG), combined advancements in data processing methods, make possible to study activation performance tasks across various contexts 2 . Given depends on specific skills, investigating it through lens provides insights into underlying higher-order neurologic mechanisms. Results from research addressing...
Purpose : The current study aimed to compare the effects of plyometric (PT) versus optimum power load (OPL) training on physical performance young high-level soccer players. Methods Athletes were randomly divided into PT (horizontal and vertical drills) OPL (squat + hip thrust exercises at maximum output) interventions, applied over 7 weeks during in-season period. Squat countermovement jumps, maximal sprint (10 30 m), change direction (COD; agility t test) pretraining posttraining measured...
In humans, as in nonhuman primates, the digits of hands are similar length during early fetal development. Subsequently, differentiation leads to a patter unequal finger lengths, described by George finger-length pattern. Recent work Manning and colleagues suggested that digit patterns due influences sex hormones. Most importantly for psychology, such might also relate cognitive activities influenced organizing actions The exciting possibility having an easily measurable indicator action...
This study assessed the effects of stability constraints a voluntary task on postural responses to an external perturbation in subjects with Parkinson's disease (PD) and healthy elderly participants. Eleven PD twelve control were perturbed backward surface translations while standing performing two versions task: holding tray cylinder placed flat side down [low constraint (LC)] or rolling, round [high (HC)]. Participants performed alternating blocks LC HC trials. participants accomplished as...
