[Research progress of the effects of high-intensity interval training on excess post-exercise oxygen consumption in human].

Elevated human metabolism during recovery is associated with increased excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC). EPOC is linearly related to exercise duration and exponentially related to exercise intensity. It is commonly believed that near-maximal intensity interval training prompts the body to produce greater EPOC.

The Crucial Changes of Sit-to-Stand Phases in Subacute Stroke Survivors Identified by Movement Decomposition Analysis.

Objective: The aim of this study was to detect the key changes during sit-to-stand (STS) movement cycle in hemiparetic stroke survivors using a five-phase kinematic and kinetic analysis.

Methods: Twenty-five subacute stroke survivors and 17 age-matched healthy adults participated in this study. The kinematic and kinetic parameters during STS cycle were measured using three-dimensional motion analysis system with force plates.

[Standing crop and spatial distribution of meiofauna in Yellow Sea at late stage of Enteromorpha prolifera bloom in 2008].

An investigation was made on the standing crop, spatial distribution, sediment environment of meiofauna at 33 stations (including 22 stations in cold water mass area and 9 stations in Enteromorpha prolifera bloom area) in the Yellow Sea at the late stage of E. prolifera bloom in summer 2008. In this southern Yellow Sea area which was seriously impacted by the green algal bloom, the silt and clay contents in the sediments in 2008 had an obvious increase, compared with those in 2007, and the sediment chlorophyll-a and phaeophytin a contents in 2008 did not show obvious changes in cold water mass area but distinctly decreased in southern Jiangsu inshore area and Yangtze River estuary.
