Heterotic Weight Lifting [PDF]
Nuclear Physics B, 2009 We describe a method for constructing genuinely asymmetric (2,0) heterotic strings out of N=2 minimal models in the fermionic sector, whereas the bosonic sector is only partly build out of N=2 minimal models.

Interference with memory for lifted weight [PDF]
Perception & Psychophysics, 1966 An adaptation-level model for memory was tested by interpolating different weights between the standard and comparison weights. The results suggest that the model should be modified to account for the general tendency to use alternative categories of judgment with equal frequency.

Sensorimotor memory biases weight perception during object lifting
Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, 2015 When lifting an object, the brain uses visual cues and an internal object representation to predict its weight and scale fingertip forces accordingly. Once available, tactile information is rapidly integrated to update the weight prediction and refine ...

Experts lift differently: Classification of weight-lifting athletes [PDF]
2013 IEEE International Conference on Body Sensor Networks, 2013 The process of learning a novel body movement exposes a student to multiple difficulties. Understanding the range of motion is fundamental for learning to control the involved body parts. Theory and instructions need to be mapped to body movements: a student not only needs to mimic or copy the range of motion of individual body parts, but he also needs

Weight Lifting and Physical Function Among Survivors of Breast Cancer: A Post Hoc Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2015 PURPOSE Survivors of breast cancer may experience deterioration of physical function. This is important because poor physical function may be associated with premature mortality, injurious falls, bone fracture, and disability.

Effects of stretching and warm-up routines on stability and balance during weight-lifting: a pilot investigation [PDF]
BMC Research Notes, 2014 BackgroundThe efficacy of warm-up and stretching in weight-lifting remains unknown, especially for the weight-lifter’s stability and balance during lifting.Methods13 subjects were randomly assigned a 10-minute stretching routine (SR) or a 10-minute warm ...
