A marked increase in plasma catecholamine concentrations was observed in response to the repeated exercise bouts, the rise being more important for the adrenaline (x 22) than the noradrenaline (x 10) concentrations. A progressive increase in plasma somatotropin hormone was observed between the first and the last venous sampling.

{"title":"[Decision strategy: effect of the proportion of total response time taken by choice reaction time].","authors":"L Proteau, M Leroux, L Lévesque, Y Girouard","doi":"","DOIUrl":"","url":null,"abstract":"<p><p>Results from two series of studies on decision strategies suggested that subjects appeared to chose between two response modes. Subjects could use a decision strategy based either on anticipatory responses or on reaction responses. It appeared that certain characteristics specific to the task could be responsible for the discrepancy in the response mode. The aim of the present study was to ascertain whether the choice of a decision strategy could be dictated by the proportion of total response time taken up by the choice reaction time (TRC). For instance, if the TRC takes up a large proportion of the total time, reducing it in view of an anticipatory response could considerably reduce the total time. The advantage to be gained from an anticipatory response could thus be considered sufficient to warrant adoption of a decision strategy based on anticipation. On the contrary, when TRC takes up only a small portion of total time, a decision strategy based upon reactions is preferred since the cost related to an error in response would largely exceed the advantage related to anticipation. Results from the two series of experiments presented in this paper support the importance of this variable. More specifically, results revealed that the error that an individual allows himself to make depends upon the proportion of total time that is devoted to choice reaction time. An extension of the model presented by Proteau et al. is proposed in order to account for the present observations.</p>","PeriodicalId":75669,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of applied sport sciences.

Nine male subjects with various physical disabilities participated in the experiment. Linear velocity was determined by analyzing the filmed performance of subjects wheeling at maximum speed on a wheelchair ergometer. The results revealed no significant differences between the maximal linear velocities at each of the nine seat positions chosen for investigation. These findings suggest that given a limited variability in seat positions, maximal linear velocity will be minimally affected. Simple correlation procedures revealed a significant negative correlation between the length of push and linear velocity. This is in opposition to current findings and suggests that pushing frequency may be more critical than the length of push in generating maximum speed in wheelchair sprinting.</p>","PeriodicalId":75669,"journal":{"name":"Canadian journal of applied sport sciences.
