Objective And Subjective Benefits Of A Community-Based, Older Adult Multi-Component Exercise Programme, Justin Keogh, John Rice, Denise Taylor, Andrew Kilding
Objective And Subjective Benefits Of A Community-Based, Older Adult Multi-Component Exercise Programme, Justin Keogh, John Rice, Denise Taylor, Andrew Kilding
Justin Keogh
Most exercise studies for older adults have been university- or hospital-based. Little is known about the benefits and factors influencing long-term participation in community-based exercise programmes, especially in New Zealand. AIM: To quantify the objective benefits, participant perceptions and retention rates of a New Zealand community-based exercise programme for adults (60 years or older). METHODS: Study 1 involved assessing the benefits of 12 weeks' training on a convenience sample of 62 older adults commencing the never2old Active Ageing programme. Study 2 assessed the perceptions of 150 current participants on a variety of programme components that could act as barriers or …

Preliminary Kinematic Gait Analysis Of A Strongman Event: The Farmers Walk., Justin Keogh, Anthony Kattan, Scott Logan, James Bensley, Che Muller, Linda Powell

Abstract: This study sought to obtain some preliminary sagittal plane kinematic data on a common strongman event (and conditioning exercise) ‘the farmers walk’ and gain some insight into its kinematic determinants. Five experienced resistance trained males performed three, 20 m farmers walks at maximal speed while carrying 90.5 kg in each hand. Farmers walk average velocity was significantly greater in the middle (8.5–11.5 m) and latter (17–20 m) than initial stage (0–3 m), with this also associated with significant increases in stride length and stride rate and reductions in ground contact time. Comparisons between each subject’s fastest and slowest trials …

Movement Orientated Training is a conceptual framework around which many current fitness trends are loosely (and on occasion incorrectly) based.

Introduction: It’s the last week of university and I’m preparing my last lecture for a colleague who is in Las Vegas at a strength and conditioning conference. Hmmph! Just not fair – and on top of sending an email from the poolside reminding me to give the lecture, he has the audacity to complain about the 40°C weather (did I mention it’s been single digits temperature here on the Gold Coast in the mornings?) Anyway, getting back on topic, I’m preparing his lecture on obesity and am including a number of slides on basal metabolic rate, resting metabolic rate, assessment …
Medical Training Using Simulation: Toward Fewer Animals And Safer Patients, Jonathan Balcombe
Medical Training Using Simulation: Toward Fewer Animals And Safer Patients, Jonathan Balcombe
Jonathan Balcombe, PhD
This paper presents the current status of computer-based simulation in medicine. Recent technological advances have enabled this field to emerge from esoteric explorations in academic laboratories to commercially available simulators designed to train users to perform medical procedures from start to finish. Today, more than a dozen companies are producing virtual reality simulators and interactive manikins for training in endoscopy, laparoscopy, anaesthesia, trauma management, angiography, and needle insertion. For many of these procedures, thousands of animals are still being used in training. Yet simulation has many advantages that can transcend scientific, ethical, economic and logistical problems that arise when using …
