L'ensemble de ce travail de thèse s'attache à étudier les ajustements physiologiques qui surviennent au cours d'un travail musculaire mené jusqu'à l'épuisement. Nous avons focalisé nos travaux expérimentaux sur l'étude des relations entre l'activité électromyographique et les variables ventilatoires et respiratoires. Les résultats permettent de conclure, selon la population étudiée, à l'apparition d'un ou de deux seuils EMG durant une épreuve triangulaire de pédalage. Dans certains cas l'apparition de ces seuils est concomitante à l'apparition des seuils ventilatoires, ce qui permet de renforcer l'hypothèse selon laquelle l'activation des afférences musculaires métabosensibles serait à l'origine de l'apparition des seuils ventilatoires.

Quantitative EMG analysis of core musculature activation patterns among elite college pitchers.

Quantitative EMG analysis of core musculature activation patterns among elite college pitchers. Review

Transfer of energy generated from lower extremity to upper extremity though optimal control of pelvis is the key to successful baseball pitching. Previous biomechanical studies have indicated pelvis and upper torso kinematic and kinetic differences between two types of pitches: fastball vs. change-up, but there is yet to be a comparison of muscle activations between the two pitches. It was the purpose of this study to quantitatively analyze core musculature of the lumbopelvic-hip complex during the fastball and change-up baseball pitches thrown by elite collegiate baseball pitchers. It was hypothesized that reproducible activation patterns would be observed between the two different pitches. Twelve male Division I collegiate baseball pitchers (20.1+/-1.5 years, 188.9+/-4.8 cm, and 87.2+/-7.5 kg) participated in the study. Surface electromyography data were collected on bilateral gluteus maximus and medius, hip adductors and external obliques while participants threw five fastballs and five change-ups for strikes. Paired sample t tests were conducted at defined event marks in attempt to identify possible differences between the two pitching styles. Reproducible activation patterns were identified. All of the analyzed muscles displayed high activations throughout the entire pitching cycle. The magnitude of activations in the muscles increased from the beginning to the end of pitching cycle. The non stride gluteus maximus and stride gluteus medius displayed higher muscle activities compared to their contralateral sides. Of all the examined muscles, the bilateral adductors displayed highest muscle activation throughout the entire movement. There were no significant differences between the muscle activations and the two pitching styles at the p≤0.01 level. In conclusion, the research successfully quantified muscle activation patterns in the core musculature among elite pitchers due to the sEMG data presented consistent trends.

Urodynamics Review

This brand new edition describes in detail the tests involved in urodynamic investigation and shows in which clinical areas these tests can help the management of patients. The authors concentrate on common clinical problems and on the presentation of symptom complexes rather than diagnosis, pointing out any limitations and possible artefacts of investigation. * The new edition takes into account the technological innovations that have taken place over the last 10 years, while retaining the original objectives of the first edition. * The subject is presented so simply that a clinician with no previous experience will learn how to use the appropriate equipment in the correct situation. * Urodynamic investigation is described in such detail that it can be accepted in its own right as a fundamental contribution to the management of many patients. After reading this book, clinicians will appreciate the value and limitations of the subject and will have obtained the necessary practical advice on which equipment to use in which situation.

FOREIGN & COLONIAL EMG MKTS INV TR PLC: International Competitive Benchmarks and Financial Gap Analysis

FOREIGN & COLONIAL EMG MKTS INV TR PLC: International Competitive Benchmarks and Financial Gap Analysis Review

See more picture

Though we heavily rely on historical performance, the figures reported in this report are not historical but are forecasts and projections for the coming fiscal year. The forecasts are updated quarterly. This particular report was updated in the last quarter. In order to maintain comparability over time and across companies and countries, we use an index system. In the case of a firm's assets, we treat the total assets as equaling 100, irrespective of the value of the local currency. All other assets are then calculated as a percent from total assets. In this way, the structure of the firm's assets can be easily interpreted and compared with international benchmarks. For liabilities, total liabilities and equity are indexed to equal to 100. For the income statement, total revenue is indexed to equal 100, and all other figures are calculated as a percent of these figures. Ratios are projected using raw financial statistics and, as ratios, are therefore comparable. The source(s) for the various raw statistics include public filings, corporate releases, and various other data sources.
Given a company's financial structure, the resulting figures are benchmarked across "leading competitors". In choosing the leading competitors, Icon Group chooses only those firms with sound financial situations or those not undergoing radical restructuring, or where random volatility, mergers, or bankruptcy affects financial performance.
Since the calculation of competitors' benchmarks proceeds in a similar fashion, but are aggregated across all competitors, one can directly conduct a financial gap analysis. Here, Icon Group graphically reports, for each part of the financial statement, the larger gaps that the firm has vis-a-vis the leading competitors. A gap need not be a bad sign. Rather, it is simply a substantial difference that might merit further attention or signal a firm's relative strength or weakness for t

The 2006 anthology of EMG-Zine, this collection is a treasure trove of information about art, writing, business, marketing as well as a showcase of the best from their fiction and artwork from 2006. Hysterical, serious and enlightening by turn, this book is straight-forward dirt from the artists and writers in the trenches, and bound to become a dog-eared favorite. And hey, you can't go too wrong with something that starts with a chicken and an egg and ends with 'Let there be light!' 118 pages, 40 in color, glossy pages, 8.5 x 11. In print October, 2007.
