Effects of carbohydrate mouth rinse and caffeine on high-intensity interval running in a fed state.

Applied physiology, nutrition, and metabolism = Physiologie appliquee, nutrition et metabolisme
The current study aims to identify if mouth rinsing with a 6% carbohydrate mouth-rinse (CMR) solution and mouth rinsing and ingestion of caffeine (CMR+CAFF) can affect exercise performance during steady-state (SS) running and high-intensity intervals...

Discriminatively Trained Latent Ordinal Model for Video Classification.

IEEE transactions on pattern analysis and machine intelligence
We address the problem of video classification for facial analysis and human action recognition. We propose a novel weakly supervised learning method that models the video as a sequence of automatically mined, discriminative sub-events (e.g., onset a...

A flight-phase terrain following control strategy for stable and robust hopping of a one-legged robot under large terrain variations.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
This work demonstrates a simple, once per step, flight-control method for robots running on a planar unknown rough-terrain environment. The robot used to exemplify these control strategies is the ParkourBot, a spring loaded inverted pendulum (SLIP)-b...

Gait studies for a quadrupedal microrobot reveal contrasting running templates in two frequency regimes.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Performance metrics such as speed, cost of transport, and stability are the driving factors behind gait selection in legged locomotion. To help understand the effect of gait on the performance and dynamics of small-scale ambulation, we explore four q...

Arbitrary Symmetric Running Gait Generation for an Underactuated Biped Model.

PloS one
This paper investigates generating symmetric trajectories for an underactuated biped during the stance phase of running. We use a point mass biped (PMB) model for gait analysis that consists of a prismatic force actuator on a massless leg. The signif...

Predicting ground contact events for a continuum of gait types: An application of targeted machine learning using principal component analysis.

Gait & posture
An ongoing challenge in the application of gait analysis to clinical settings is the standardized detection of temporal events, with unobtrusive and cost-effective equipment, for a wide range of gait types. The purpose of the current study was to inv...

Design of a heart rate controller for treadmill exercise using a recurrent fuzzy neural network.

Computer methods and programs in biomedicine
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In this study, we developed a computer controlled treadmill system using a recurrent fuzzy neural network heart rate controller (RFNNHRC). Treadmill speeds and inclines were controlled by corresponding control servo motors. ...

Running With an Elastic Lower Limb Exoskeleton.

Journal of applied biomechanics
Although there have been many lower limb robotic exoskeletons that have been tested for human walking, few devices have been tested for assisting running. It is possible that a pseudo-passive elastic exoskeleton could benefit human running without th...

Effect of sprint training on resting serum irisin concentration - Sprint training once daily vs. twice every other day.

Metabolism: clinical and experimental
OBJECTIVE: Exercise twice every other day has been shown to lead to increasing peroxisome proliferator receptor γ coactivator-1α (PGC-1α) expression (up-stream factor of irisin) via lowered muscle glycogen level during second of exercise compared wit...

Incidence of nonresponse and individual patterns of response following sprint interval training.

Applied physiology, nutrition, and metabolism = Physiologie appliquee, nutrition et metabolisme
The current study sought to explore the incidence of nonresponders for maximal or submaximal performance following a variety of sprint interval training (SIT) protocols. Data from 63 young adults from 5 previously published studies were utilized in t...
