EFFECTS OF RUNNING SURFACE STIFFNESS ON THREE-SEGMENT FOOT KINEMATICS RESPONSES WITH DIFFERENT SHOD CONDITIONS

Effects of Running Surface Stiffness on Three-Segment Foot Kinematics Responses with Different Shod Conditions

Objective.The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of surface stiffness on multisegment foot kinematics and temporal parameters during running.Methods.Eighteen male subjects ran on three different surfaces (i.e., concrete, artificial grass, and rubber) in both heeled running shoes (HS) and minimal running shoes (MS).Both these shoes had

The phenomenology of attentional control: a first-person approach to contemplative science and the issue of free will

There are two basic aspects of attentional control.The ability to direct attention toward different objects is typically experienced as a fundamental indicator of attentional freedom.One can control what one attends to and directing attention is a relatively simple task.In contrast, sustaining attention on a chosen object proves to be difficult Sup

Risk and Probability Premiums for Cara Utility Functions

The risk premium and the probability premium are used to determine appropriate coefficients of absolute risk aversion under CARA utility.A Supplies defensible range of risk aversion coefficients is defined by the coefficients that correspond to risk premiums falling between 1 and 99% of the amount at risk or to probability premiums falling between.
