Research ArticleOpen accessEvery word in the titleEffects of Perceived Fitness Level of Exercise Partner on Intensity of ExertionThomas G. Plante, Meghan Madden, Sonia Mann et al.Problem statement: Social comparison theory was used to examine if exercising with a research confederate posing as either high fit or low fit would increase the exertion in exercising. Approach: 91 college students were randomly assigned to one of three conditions: Biking alone, biking with a high fit confederate, or biking with a low fit confederate. All participants were instructed … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 6, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 12,111 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsThe Development of a Revised Canadian Myalgic Encephalomyelitis Chronic Fatigue Syndrome Case DefinitionLeonard A. Jason, Meredyth Evans, Nicole Porter et al.Problem statement: Several investigators have indicated that case definitions for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) are characterized by vaguely worded criteria that lack operational definitions and guidelines. The most widely used CFS case definition is the Fukuda et al. criteria, which uses polythetic criteria (i.e., patients are only required to have four out of a possible eight symptoms). Yet two of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 6, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 33,208 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsMRI Observation and Analysis of Muscle Activity During ExerciseLi-Chang Zou, Hong-Wu LiWhile conventional biomechanical testing techniques are able to determine the mechanical characteristics of muscle tissue, they do not offer precise insight into how muscle metabolism and microstructure change in response to various types of exercise activities over the course of time. Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) analysis of muscle tissue allows researchers to examine how different levels of intensity affect … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 22, Issue 3 · 30 Jul 2026 · 1,025 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractApplying Software Engineering Methodology for Designing Biomedical Software Devoted To Electronic InstrumentationGilsa Aparecida de Lima Machado, Patricia Mara Danella Zacaro, Alderico Rodrigues de Paula Junior, Marcelo Lopes de Oliveira e SouzaProblem statement: Significant effort goes into the development of biomedical software, which is integrated with computers/processors, sensors and electronic instrumentation devoted to a specific application. However, the scientific work on electronic instrumentation controlled by biomedical software has not emphasized software development, instead focusing mainly on electronics engineering. The development team is rarely composed of Software Engineering (SE) experts. Usually, a … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 8, Issue 10 · 23 Aug 2012 · 6,971 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effects of Fatigue and Chronic Ankle Instability on Dynamic Postural ControlSeyed Hossein Hosseinimehr, Hassan Daneshmandi, Ali Asghar NorastehProblem statement: The proprioception information is a prerequisite for balance, body's navigation system and the movement coordinator. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of fatigue and chronic ankle instability on dynamic postural control. Approach: Thirty physical education students (14 males, 16 females) in two groups (15 healthy age = 21.78±0.79 years, height = 168.3±5.6 cm and … …Physics International, Vol. 1, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2010 · 8,870 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractHormesis and Exercise: How the Cell Copes with Oxidative StressLi Li Ji, Zsolt Radak, Sataro GotoContraction-induced production of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species has been shown to cause oxidative stress to skeletal muscle, heart and other organs. As an adaptive response, muscle antioxidant defense systems are upregulated in response to exercise to restore intracellular prooxidantantioxidant homeostasis. Thus, both young and old animals and humans involved in regular exercise have shown reduced oxidative damage during acute … …American Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology, Vol. 3, Issue 1 · 31 Mar 2008 · 7,817 accessesView PDF Cite
