Motoneurones "Learn" and "Forget" Physical Activity

Canadian Journal of Applied Physiology, 2005
In spite of our knowledge of activity related adaptations in supraspinal neurones and skeletal muscles, very little is known concerning adaptations in α-motoneurones to alterations in chronic activity levels. Recent evidence shows that the biophysical properties of α-motoneurones are plastic and adapt to both increases and decreases in chronic ...

Learning Physical Activities in Immersive Virtual Environments

Fourth IEEE International Conference on Computer Vision Systems (ICVS'06), 2006
This paper describes a framework for constructing a three-dimensional immersive environment that can be used for training physical activities. In the proposed system, an immersive environment is constructed through realistic reconstruction of a scene by applying a stereo algorithm on a set of images that is captured from multiple viewpoints ...

An active learning approach to the physics of medical imaging

Medical Engineering & Physics, 2007
This paper describes an experimentally oriented medical imaging course where the students record, process and analyse 3D data of an unknown piece of formalin fixed porcine tissue hidden in agar in order to estimate the tissue types present in a selected 2D slice.

Active kids active minds: a physical activity intervention to promote learning?

Asia-Pacific Journal of Health, Sport and Physical Education, 2014
This study assessed the feasibility and impact of introducing a programme of an additional 30 minutes per day of moderate physical activity within curriculum time on learning and readiness to learn in a large elementary school in south-east Queensland, Australia.

Characterizing active learning environments in physics

2021
The vast majority of research involving active learning pedagogies uses passive lecture methods as a baseline. We propose to move beyond such comparisons to understand the mechanisms that make different active learning styles unique. This study uses social network analysis and the Classroom Observation Protocol for Undergraduate STEM (COPUS) to ...

RealTime Physics: Active learning laboratory

AIP Conference Proceedings, 1997
From the Publisher: This computer-based lab manual contains experiments in mechanics, thermodynamics, E&M, and optics using hardware and software designed to enhance readers' understanding of calculus-based physics concepts. It uses an active learning cycle, including concept overviews, hypothesis-testing, prediction-making, and investigations.

Feasibility of Integrating Physical Activity Into Early Education Learning Standards on Preschooler’s Physical Activity Levels

Journal of Physical Activity and Health, 2019
For a health behavior intervention to be sustainable within preschool centers, the intervention should be implemented by classroom teachers. Unfortunately, teachers are constrained by demands such as meeting early childhood education standards. Therefore, the purpose of this pilot study was to examine the feasibility and preliminary efficacy of ...

Health Learning Practices in Adolescents Using Physical Activity

Journal of Cases on Information Technology, 2013
To increase health education we applied blended learning concept by combining physical activity and e-learning technology. Investigation aims to create, apply and assess learning tasks. 201 high school students (15-22 years, 17,6±1.4) were divided in control (CG) and practical (PG) group.
