  2. 1. Simulation of Human Movements through Optimization

    Author : Robert Pettersson; Anders Eriksson; Elena Gutierrez-Farewik; Arne Nordmark; Anders Klarbring; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; multibody system; human movements; optimal control; trajectory optimization; long jump; posture; rowing; somersault;

    Abstract : Optimization has been used to simulate human neural control and resulting movement patterns. The short term aim was to develop the methodology required for solving the movement optimization problem often arising when modelling human movements. READ MORE

  4. 2. Rowing social-ecological systems: morals, culture and resilience

    Author : Jacob von Heland; Carl Folke; Sverker Sörlin; Paul Sinclair; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; resilience; culture; moral; complex social-ecological systems; southern Madagascar; Planetary Boundaries; naturresurshushållning; Natural Resources Management;

    Abstract : The shift from management and governance of ecosystems to relational complex adaptive social-ecological systems (SES) emphasizes a dynamic and integrated humans-in-nature perspective. Such a shift also needs to investigate how diversity and differences in cultures and morals relate to the existence of SES. READ MORE

  5. 3. Rib stress fractures in elite rowers

    Author : Anders Vinther; Människan i rörelse: hälsa och rehabilitering; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES;

    Abstract : The aim was to investigate potential risk factors and suggested injury mechanisms involved in the development of exercise-induced rib stress fractures (RSF) in elite rowers as well as investigate biomechanical and neuromuscular differences of ergometer rowing in stationary and slide-based ergometers. BMD and muscle strength was assessed as well as EMG of thoracic muscles and rowing technique during ergometer rowing in rowers with previous RSF and controls. READ MORE

  6. 4. Interactive sonification of motion : Design, implementation and control of expressive auditory feedback with mobile devices

    Author : Gaël Dubus; Roberto Bresin; Paul Vickers; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Speech and Music Communication; Tal- och musikkommunikation;

    Abstract : Sound and motion are intrinsically related, by their physical nature and through the link between auditory perception and motor control. If sound provides information about the characteristics of a movement, a movement can also be influenced or triggered by a sound pattern. READ MORE

  7. 5. Firefighters' physical work capacity

    Author : Ann-Sofie Lindberg; Christer Malm; Juha Oksa; Desiree Gavhed; Peter Krustrup; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Physical demands; performance; work capacity; aerobic fitness; anaerobic fitness; muscle strength; muscle endurance; balance; ergonomics; physical testing; SIMCA;

    Abstract : The overall aim of this thesis was to identify valid, simple, and inexpensive physical tests that can be used for evaluation of firefighters’ physical work capacity. Paper I included fulltime- and part-time firefighters (n = 193), aged 20-60 years. READ MORE
