Lower limb influence on standing arm-cranking ('grinding').

15 Sep 2009 Standing arm-cranking ('grinding') is predominantly an upper-body exercise, however, the contribution of the legs to this activity is unknown. The purpose of the study was to examine the influence of normal lower-limb movement on physiological ... Read more...

Habitual throwing and swimming correspond with upper limb diaphyseal strength and shape in modern human athletes.

30 Aug 2009 Variation in upper limb long bone cross-sectional properties may reflect a phenotypically plastic response to habitual loading patterns. Structural differences between limb bones have often been used to infer past behavior from hominin remains; ... Read more...

Visual field motion effects on the production of manual forces and displacements.

30 Aug 2009 BACKGROUND: We have previously shown that subjects produce exaggerated arm forces when exposed to three times the normal gravitational acceleration (+3 Gz), and that this deficit is not related to direct mechanical effects, faulty proprioception, or ... Read more...
