Hemispheric synchronization patterns linked with shooting performance in archers.

Sustainable attention, effective visual-spatial perception, and motor control skills are considered highly important for achieving superior athletic performance. The aim of the current study was to investigate hemispheric synchronization patterns of brain electrical activation related to successful and unsuccessful shots of archers using electroencephalography (EEG). This study involved 16 elite archers, each shooting 36 arrows.

Comparison of EMG activity in shank muscles between individuals with and without chronic ankle instability when running on a treadmill.

Changes in movement capabilities after an injury to the ankle may impose adaptations in the peripheral and central nervous system. The purpose of our study was to compare the electromyogram (EMG) profile of ankle stabilizer muscles and stride-time variation during treadmill running in individuals with and without chronic ankle instability (CAI). Recreationally active individuals with (n = 12) and without (n = 15) CAI ran on a treadmill at two speeds.

Metaproteomics reveals methyltransferases implicated in dichloromethane and glycine betaine fermentation by ' Formimonas warabiya' strain DCMF.

Dichloromethane (DCM; CHCl) is a widespread pollutant with anthropogenic and natural sources. Anaerobic DCM-dechlorinating bacteria use the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway, yet dechlorination reaction mechanisms remain unclear and the enzyme(s) responsible for carbon-chlorine bond cleavage have not been definitively identified. Of the three bacterial taxa known to carry out anaerobic dechlorination of DCM, ' Formimonas warabiya' strain DCMF is the only organism that can also ferment non-chlorinated substrates, including quaternary amines (i.

The new wireless EEG device Mentalab Explore is a valid and reliable system for the measurement of resting state EEG spectral features.

Technological advancements in neuroscience have provided many conveniences to scientists, researchers, and consumers. The emerging electroencephalography (EEG) devices are good examples for it. The objective of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of a new wireless EEG device Mentalab Explore for resting-state EEG (rsEEG) recordings in eyes open and eyes closed conditions.

Comparison of EMG Activity in Leg Muscles between Overground and Treadmill Running.

Introduction: Treadmills have been widely used for training and performance testing during which the treadmill grade is usually set to 0%-2% grade. The purpose of our study was to compare the level of activation of lower body muscles when running at two speeds in an overground condition and on a treadmill at 0%, 1%, and 2% grades.

Methods: We recorded EMG data of eight lower body muscles from 13 recreationally active individuals during overground and treadmill running at 2.
