Detecting gesture force peaks for intuitive interaction [PDF]
Proceedings of the 5th Australasian Conference on Interactive Entertainment, 2008 With the release of the Nintendo Wii in 2006, the use of haptic force gestures has become a very popular form of input for interactive entertainment. However, current gesture recognition techniques utilised in Nintendo Wii games fall prey to a lack of control when it comes to recognising simple gestures. This paper presents a simple gesture recognition

Response of a Hexagonal Granular Packing under a Localized External Force [PDF]
, 2005 We study the response of a two-dimensional hexagonal packing of rigid, frictionless spherical grains due to a vertically downward point force on a single grain at the top layer.

Weekly Versus Monthly Testosterone Administration On Fast and Slow Skeletal Muscle Fibers in Older Adult Males [PDF]
, 2014 Context: In older adults, loss of mobility due to sarcopenia is exacerbated in men with low serum T. T replacement therapy is known to increase muscle mass and strength, but the effect of weekly (WK) vs monthly (MO) administration on specific fiber types

Kinetic Analysis of Swimming Flip-Turn Push-Off Techniques
Sports, 2019 The aims of the present study were to examine the influences of different push-off techniques on kinetic and kinematic parameters both in and out of the water. The two techniques were: (1) a push off that was characterized by rapid extension of knees and

The strengthening of reentrant pinning by collective interactions in the peak effect
, 2009 Since it was first observed about 40 years ago [1], the peak effect has been the subject of numerous research mainly impelled by the desire to determine its exact mechanisms.

A comprehensive assessment of caffeine’s effects on components of countermovement jump performance
Biology of Sport, 2021 The aim of this study was to conduct a comprehensive examination of caffeine’s effects on countermovement jump (CMJ) performance. In this randomized, double-blind, crossover study, twenty-two resistance-trained men (age: 28 ± 5 years; height: 183 ± 5 cm;

Validity of a mobile device measuring isometric deadlift peak force
Current Issues in Sport Science, 2023 Introduction Muscular strength can be viewed as a product of force and velocity. Increases in both maximal force and velocity will ultimately result in an increase in power (Suchomel et al., 2016), thus contributing to performance in tasks such as ...
