Change of Muscle Activity as Well as Kinematic and Kinetic Parameters during Headers after Core Muscle Fatigue

open access: yesSports, 2017
In soccer, headers are a tactical measure and influenced by numerous factors. The goal of this study was to identify whether changes in kinematics and muscular activity, especially of the head-stabilizing muscles, occur during headers when the core ...

Genome-Wide Association Study in Pseudo-F2 Populations of Switchgrass Identifies Genetic Loci Affecting Heading and Anthesis Dates

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2018
Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum) is a native prairie grass and valuable bio-energy crop. The physiological change from juvenile to reproductive adult can draw important resources away from growth into producing reproductive structures, thereby limiting the

No Evidence of Association Between Soccer Heading and Cognitive Performance in Professional Soccer Players: Cross-Sectional Results

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2019
Although the scientific community has focused on the effects of concussions in contact sports, the role of subconcussive impacts, as it can occur during soccer heading, has recently gained attention, considering that it may represent an additional ...

Novel Multi-IMU Tight Coupling Pedestrian Localization Exploiting Biomechanical Motion Constraints

open access: yesSensors, 2020
In this article, we present a novel tight coupling inertial localization system which simultaneously processes the measurements of two inertial measurement units (IMUs) mounted on the leg, namely the upper thigh and the front part of the foot.

Headlands and Headings: Re-locating the Coloured Category [PDF]

open access: yesKronos, 2021
In this paper I make two arguments: first, that the Western Cape has always functioned as the epistemological heading of the 'coloured' category. This is because it is in the Western Cape where the category first emerged as a descriptor for the 'mixing ...

Heads Up! A Biomechanical Pilot Investigation of Soccer Heading Using Instrumented Mouthguards (iMGs)

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Soccer players purposefully head the ball, raising concerns about reduced tolerance to concussion and potential long-term brain health. By combining qualitative video analysis with custom-fit instrumented mouthguards (iMGs), we aimed to categorize header
