Motor Unit Firing Behaviour of Soleus Muscle in Isometric and Dynamic Contractions
(Public Library of Science, 2013)
Introduction.
Understanding the detailed control of human locomotion and balance can be improved, when individual motor units can be isolated and their firing rates followed in natural movement of large, fuctionally ...

Constraints representing a meta-stable régime facilitate exploration during practice and transfer of learning in a complex multi-articular task
(Elsevier BV, 2018)
Previous investigations have shown that inducing meta-stability in behavior can be achieved by overlapping affordances through constraint manipulation, allowing cooperative and competitive tendencies to functionally coexist. ...
Diet quality and academic achievement : A prospective study among primary school children
(Springer, 2017)
Purpose
Poor diet quality may impair academic achievement in children, but such evidence is limited. Therefore, we investigated the associations of healthy diet in Grade 1 assessed by Mediterranean Diet Score (MDS), ...
Objectively measured physical activity, body composition and physical fitness : Cross-sectional associations in 9- to 15-year-old children
(Taylor and Francis, 2018)
The aim of this study was to examine and quantify the cross-sectional associations of body composition (BC), physical activity (PA) and sedentary time (ST) with physical fitness (PF) in children and adolescents. A sample ...
ISB clinical biomechanics award winner 2023 : Medial gastrocnemius muscle and Achilles tendon interplay during gait in cerebral palsy
(Elsevier, 2024)
Background
The interplay between the medial gastrocnemius muscle and the Achilles tendon is crucial for efficient walking. In cerebral palsy, muscle and tendon remodelling alters the role of contractile and elastic ...
Altered excitation-inhibition balance in the primary sensorimotor cortex to proprioceptive hand stimulation in cerebral palsy
(Elsevier, 2024)
Objective
Our objective was to clarify the primary sensorimotor (SM1) cortex excitatory and inhibitory alterations in hemiplegic (HP) and diplegic (DP) cerebral palsy (CP) by quantifying SM1 cortex beta power suppression ...
High-precision mass measurements for the isobaric multiplet mass equation at A = 52
(IOP Publishing Ltd, 2017)
Masses of 52Co, 52Com, 52Fe, 52Fem, and 52Mn have been measured with the JYFLTRAP double Penning trap mass spectrometer. The isobaric multiplet mass equation for the T = 2 quintet at A = 52 has been studied employing the ...
