Camera-trapping: wild and domestic species occurrences in three Pyrenean pastures.

Background: The co-existence between brown bears ( Linnaeus, 1758) and farmers in the Pyrenees has been a major concern for several decades. The bear's depredation on livestock has multiple implications for traditional practices of extensive grazing and calls for a better understanding of the various ways in which humans and non-humans interact across different territories. The present dataset stems from "The Pastoralism and Bears in the Pyrenees" research project led by the GEODE laboratory (UMR 5602 CNRS-UT2J) in partnership with the Association Dissonances.

[Nursing students, key players in health services].

The health service, which came into effect in September 2018, concerns all health-care students. Nursing students were among the first to get involved in nursing fields in a variety of settings where the population could get involved in raising awareness of healthy behaviours. A group of nursing students from a school in Île-de-France attests to their involvement in this innovation.

Influence of fascicle strain and corticospinal excitability during eccentric contractions on force loss.

New Findings: What is the central question of this study? Do neural and/or mechanical factors determine the extent of muscle damage induced by eccentric contractions? What is the main finding and its importance? The extent of muscle damage induced by eccentric contractions is related to both mechanical strain and corticospinal excitability measured at long muscle lengths during eccentric contractions.

Abstract: In this study, we investigated whether the mechanical and neural characteristics of maximal voluntary eccentric contractions would determine the extent of change in postexercise maximal voluntary isometric contraction (MVC) torque and muscle soreness. Eleven men performed 10 sets of 15 isokinetic (45 deg s ) maximal voluntary eccentric knee extensions.

Changes in Motor Coordination Induced by Local Fatigue during a Sprint Cycling Task.

Purpose: This study investigated how muscle coordination is adjusted in response to a decrease in the force-generating capacity of one muscle group during a sprint cycling task.

Methods: Fifteen participants were tested during a sprint before and after a fatigue electromyostimulation protocol was conducted on the quadriceps of one leg. Motor coordination was assessed by measuring myoelectrical activity, pedal force, and joint power.
