  4. 7. The rolling resistances of roller skis and their effects on human performance during treadmill roller skiing

    Author : Mats Ainegren; Peter Carlsson; Marko Laaksonen; Per Tesch; Mittuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Blood lactate; cycle length; cycle rate; heart rate; oxygen uptake; performance; power; roller skis; rolling resistance; ratings of perceived exertion; work economy; Sports; Idrott;

    Abstract : Modern ski-treadmills allow cross-country skiers, biathletes and ski-orienteers to test their physical performance in a laboratory environment using classical and freestyle techniques on roller skis. For elite athletes the differences in performance between test occasions are quite small, thus emphasising the importance of knowing the roller skis’ rolling resistance coefficient, µR, in order to allow correct comparisons between the results, as well as providing the opportunity to study work economy between different athletes, test occasions and core techniques.

Accomplished modernist composers came to be regarded as intellectuals, and were expected to hold rational conceptions of their individual styles. READ MORE

  7. 10. The Melody Phrasing Curve : A Visual Tool for Illustrating Perceived Musical Dynamics

    Author : Ingemar Fridell; Musikhögskolan i Malmö; []
    Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; melody line; musical dynamics; Melody phrasing; perception; interpretation; visual tools; musical communication; performance;

    Abstract : In Western classical music traditions, conventional ways of considering melody have been established. The tones of a melody phrase might be experienced as building up a continuous line moving between dynamical culmination points and relaxation points. In this study, a special visual tool called the Melody phrasing curve (MPhC) has been tested. READ MORE
