  2. 6. Performance and Flotation-REST in Tests of Marksmanship, Problem-solving and Perceived Exertion

    Author : Henrik Bergman; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; Flotation-REST; archery; performance; primary- and secondary process; creativity; originality; EMG;

    Abstract : This present thesis examines whether or not relaxation as floating may be exploited to reinforce primary process (inner-directed) orientation, and thereby enhance performance, creative problem-solving ability and originality. Two Articles are presented both using randomized factorial design. Article I include two subexperiments. READ MORE

  6. 9. Cardiovascular function after long-term bed rest

    Author : Jonas Spaak; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : Microgravity; simulated weightlessness; carotid baroreflex; static exercise; muscle chemoreflex; orthostasis; tilting; leg exercise; blood pressure; heart rate; stroke volume;

    Abstract : On earth, daily activities involve standing, changes of posture and various types of muscle action, all of which challenge the cardiovascular regulation. Removal of the orthostatic stress for a longer period, as during spaceflight or head-down tilt bed rest, consistently results in cardiovascular deconditioning. READ MORE
