Separate repeated measures ANOVAs with Sidak post-hoc were used to analyze jump height, flight height, peak force, takeoff velocity, and knee and hip flexion. A significant main effect for jump height was observed (p < 0.001). HF and EF jumped significantly higher than IF (p < 0.001; p < 0.001). EF also jumped significantly higher than control (p<.05). No significant main effects were observed for any kinematic or kinetic dependent variables. The results of this experiment support previous research by observing performance benefits of HF and EF over an IF.

However, it is unclear how different postural configurations affect motor performance. The aim of the current study was to examine how body posture - sitting versus standing - influences fast and accurate planar point-to-point hand movements. Twenty-three healthy adults performed a \"Go/No-go\" paradigm while doing repetitive point-to-point movements. Arousal levels, which may change due to the change in posture, were independently manipulated by using a sham threat of electrical stimulation. Upper limb kinematics, center of pressure displacement, and galvanic skin responses were recorded in four test conditions: sitting and standing with and without arousal manipulation. Descriptive performance measures were computed and analyzed using multiple analyses of variance. A difference in arousal level was observed in the two conditions with the arousal manipulation, but no difference in arousal level was found between sitting and standing. Center of pressure displacement onset was found to be earlier in the two standing conditions compared to those in sitting. No difference was found in upper limb performance between the two postures, nor due to the arousal manipulation. We concluded that under the tested conditions, body posture does not appear to affect upper limb performance.","PeriodicalId":50125,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Motor Behavior","volume":"57 1","pages":"77-86"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142980772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Studies were selected if they included humans with neurological impairments, applied VIB and used at least one measure of corticospinal excitability using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Two investigators assessed the studies' quality using critical appraisal checklists and extracted relevant data. The 10 articles included were diverse in populations and methods, generally rated as 'average' to 'good' quality. All studies reported an increased corticospinal excitability in the vibrated muscle, but the effects of VIB on non-vibrated muscles remain unclear. Positive clinical changes in response to VIB were reported in a few studies, such as a decreased spasticity and improved sensorimotor function. These changes were sometimes correlated with corticospinal effects, suggesting a link between VIB-induced plasticity and clinical improvements. Despite the limited and heterogeneous literature, this review supports the facilitatory influence of VIB on motor outputs controlling vibrated muscles, even with altered sensorimotor functions. It highlights knowledge gaps and suggests future research directions on VIB mechanisms and clinical implications.","PeriodicalId":50125,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Motor Behavior","volume":" ","pages":"1-17"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142878518","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Recent evidence of functional interdependence between masticatory and neuromuscular systems indicates that the stomatognathic system is neurologically integrated with various body systems relevant to movement planning and execution. This study investigated the effects of unilateral molar biting and incisor biting on walking with and without visual feedback. A cohort of 31 healthy young adults aged 21 to 30 years (average age of 23.93 ± 1.89) participated in this study. Three types of errors in walking direction (angle error, position error, and curve error) were computed. Our findings indicate that, in right-handed individuals, irrespective of visual feedback, unilateral biting caused systematic deviations toward the biting side from initiation to termination of walking. The consistent deviation in walking, particularly during unilateral right biting conditions in right-handed individuals, may indicate a complex interplay between masticatory function and gait control mechanism, potentially influenced by handedness and motor lateralization within the cortex. This study establishes a foundation for future research exploring the interrelation between bite location, visual feedback, and motor control in diverse populations. This research may provide insight for more efficient interventions for gait-related disorders.","PeriodicalId":50125,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Motor Behavior","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142848034","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

According to previous research, the movement time to hit the current target can be affected by the target of different size on the previous trial where the Fitts' law task is affected by trial history. However, in a dyadic context, the question is whether there is still a trial-to-trial transfer across individuals. In this study, Experiment 1 was conducted to investigate whether the current trial would be affected by the previous trial performed by the partner in a dyadic task. The results showed trial-to-trial transfer between individuals was affected by the difficulty of the action. The current movement was only affected by the previous difficult trial but not simple task. In order to investigate whether observing only novel targets would affect the current movement, we conducted Experiment 2, which showed that observing the target was not sufficient to generate effect transfer between trials. These findings suggest that the goal-directed movement can be affected by the observation of others. In addition, the effect of trial-to-trial transfer between individuals was influenced by task difficulty, which proved this effect was not a simple imitation.","PeriodicalId":50125,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Motor Behavior","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142796247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To examine alterations in muscle synergy patterns during locomotion tasks in the presence of KOA, 40 participants, including 20 with medial KOA (KL-Score ≥ 2), performed level walking, as well as ramp and stair ascent and descent trials at self-selected speeds. Sixteen-Channel bilateral surface electromyography (sEMG) and marker-based motion capture data were collected. Non-negative matrix factorization (NNMF) was applied to the sEMG data for muscle synergy extraction. During level walking and descending conditions, structural changes in muscle synergy composition were observed in the KOA affected limb when compared to the unaffected side and control group. Alterations included fewer, merged synergies with prolonged activation coefficients and a higher percentage of unclassifiable synergies. No major alterations were observed during ascending conditions. No significant differences in gait speed and stride length were observed.

To investigate the relationship between motor competence and the difficulty of self-set goals during motor learning, we included 48 children aged between eight and ten years, stratified into terciles; our analysis focused on 32 children from the highest and lowest terciles. The experimental task required participants to throw a 100 g bean bag toward a target located 3 meters away. Children were instructed to set goals before each block of 10 trials during the learning phase. Pretest, retention, and transfer tests were administered without imposed goals. Motor competence was assessed using the Motor Competence Assessment, which integrates scores from the task used to evaluate motor learning and the percentage increase in each block to assess the difficulty of the self-set goals. The findings revealed no significant correlation between motor competence and the difficulty of self-set goals. Nevertheless, higher motor competence was linked to enhanced performance during the acquisition phase, retention and transfer tests. These results suggest that although motor competence is associated with improved motor learning, it does not influence the level of challenge of the goals that children set for themselves.","PeriodicalId":50125,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Motor Behavior","volume":" ","pages":"1-8"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142689547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
