How we move is universal: scaling in the average shape of human activity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Human motor activity is constrained by the rhythmicity of the 24 hours circadian cycle, including the usual 12-15 hours sleep-wake cycle. However, activity fluctuations also appear over a wide range of temporal scales, from days to a few seconds ...

Onecut-dependent Nkx6.2 transcription factor expression is required for proper formation and activity of spinal locomotor circuits. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
In the developing spinal cord, Onecut transcription factors control the diversification of motor neurons into distinct neuronal subsets by ensuring the maintenance of Isl1 expression during differentiation.

Self-Reported Physical Fitness in Children and Adolescents with Obesity: A Cross-Sectional Analysis on the Level of Alignment with Multiple Adiposity Indexes

open access: yesChildren, 2021
Obesity has been associated with several alterations that could limit physical activity (PA) practice. In pediatrics, some studies have highlighted the importance of enjoyment as a motivation to begin and maintain adherence in PA.

The relationship between physical activity, motor competence and health-related fitness in 14-year-old adolescents [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Physical activity, physical fitness, and motor competence are important health-related constructs. However, the relationship between them, particularly among children and adolescents, is still unclear.

Acute Effects of High-Intensity Aerobic Exercise on Motor Cortical Excitability and Inhibition in Sedentary Adults

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2022
Transcranial magnetic stimulation studies have demonstrated increased cortical facilitation and reduced inhibition following aerobic exercise, even when examining motor regions separate to the exercised muscle group.

A closer look at ARSA activity in a patient with metachromatic leukodystrophy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Metachromatic leukodystrophy (MLD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease mainly caused by a deficiency of arylsulfatase A activity. The typical clinical course of patients with the late infantile form includes a regression in motor skills ...

Active Inference, Attention, and Motor Preparation [PDF]

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2011
Perception is the foundation of cognition and is fundamental to our beliefs and consequent action planning. The Editorial (this issue) asks: "what mechanisms, if any, mediate between perceptual and cognitive processes?" It has recently been argued that attention might furnish such a mechanism.

Poor Motor Competence Affects Functional Capacities and Healthcare in Children and Adolescents with Obesity

open access: yesSports
Background: From a young age, children learn different motor skills known as fundamental motor skills. The acquisition of these skills is crucial for the future development of context-tailored actions that could improve adherence to physical activity (PA)

The Aging Neuromuscular System and Motor Performance [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Age-related changes in the basic functional unit of the neuromuscular system, the motor unit, and its neural inputs have a profound effect on motor function, especially among the expanding number of old (older than ∼60 yr) and very old (older than ∼80 yr)

Wireless vibrotactile wireless optical device for motor activity assistance motor activities

open access: yesWearable Technology, 2022
This article describes the research that leads to the development of a wireless optical device capable of generating vibrotactile mechanical stimuli at different points on the skin and at desired frequencies by means of sixteen actuators contained in a portable bracelet designed for any extremity of the human body.
