Abstract

Using skis with a deep sidecut (as carving skis have it) it's not necessary to learn a new techniques. Different carving skis are developed for all target groups. They simplify the steering of turns on the ski-edge, but the skier needs some more muscle-effort as with usual skis. Lately physical researches proved that there's no higher risk of false cutting with carving skis than with common, normal sidecut skis. Mainly the condition of the ski-edge and the height of the skier's position over the ski do cause false cutting.

Compensation for the effects of head acceleration on jaw movement in speech.

Recent studies have demonstrated the ability of subjects to adjust the control of limb movements to counteract the effects of self-generated loads. The degree to which subjects change control signals to compensate for these loads is a reflection of the extent to which forces affecting movement are represented in motion planning. Here, we have used empirical and modeling studies to examine whether the nervous system compensates for loads acting on the jaw during speech production. As subjects walk, loads to the jaw vary with the direction and magnitude of head acceleration. We investigated the patterns of jaw motion resulting from these loads both in locomotion alone and when locomotion was combined with speech production. In locomotion alone, jaw movements were shown to vary systematically in direction and magnitude in relation to the acceleration of the head. In contrast, when locomotion was combined with speech, variation in jaw position during both consonant and vowel production was substantially reduced. Overall, we have demonstrated that the magnitude of load associated with head acceleration during locomotion is sufficient to produce a systematic change in the position of the jaw. The absence of variation in jaw position during locomotion with speech is thus consistent with the idea that in speech, the control of jaw motion is adjusted in a predictive manner to offset the effects of head acceleration.

Necessary precautions in measuring correct vertical jumping height by means of force plate measurements.

The present study was designed to investigate the determination of vertical jumping height by means of force plate measurements. Four different sources of error influence this determination: the measurement of body mass, the determination of take off, the integration frequency, and the assessment of the initial conditions influencing the determination of the start of the movement. A theoretical model was utilized to simulate the vertical ground reaction forces in vertical jumping and to compare the outcome of analytical and numerical double integration of the vertical acceleration of the body centre of mass. A high integration frequency and an optimizing loop for body mass determination were found to be important and should be taken into account when determining jumping height parameters.

Fractal correlation of initial trajectory dynamics vanishes at the movement end point in human rapid goal-directed movements.

Many researchers have investigated the variability of discrete goal-directed movements. However, a possible time-dependent property for them has been ignored. We investigated the time-dependent property of the kinematic variability in human rapid goal-directed movements by using fractal analysis. The variability of the peak acceleration had fractal time correlation characterized by a non-negligible frequency-spectral exponent (beta=0.3). This beta value was reduced at the peak velocity (beta=0.2) and nearly reached zero at the peak movement amplitude, indicating that the variability became white noise with no time correlation. A similar result was observed in the progress of the positional trajectory. The functional significance of this phenomenon for the goal-directed task demand is discussed.
