Processing Of Model Calling Songs By The Prothoracic An2 Neurone And Phonotaxis Are Significantly Correlated In Individual Female Gryllus Bimaculatus, Leslie Samuel, Andreas Stumpner, Gordon Atkins, John Stout

Leslie Samuel

Syllable period (SP) selective calling song processing has been demonstrated for the prothoracic, AN2 auditory neurone that correlates very well with SP-selective phonotaxis by female cricket Gryllus bimaculatus De Geer. Both SP-selective processing by the AN2 and the phonotactic behavior of the female exhibit substantial plasticity. Thus, the question remains as to whether the selective responses of the AN2 neurone and the selective behavior of the female match in an individual female. The present study is designed to answer that question. The SP-selective phonotactic behavior of individual females is evaluated, followed immediately by measuring the SP-selective responses of the same …

Perceived Barriers, Benefits And Motives For Physical Activity: Two Primary-Care Physical Activity Prescription Programs, Asmita Patel, Grant M. Schofield, Gregory S. Kolt, Justin Keogh

Justin Keogh

This study examined whether perceived barriers, benefits, and motives for physical activity differed based on allocation to 2 different types of primary-care activity prescription programs (pedometer-based vs. time-based Green Prescription). Eighty participants from the Healthy Steps study completed a questionnaire that assessed their perceived barriers, benefits, and motives for physical activity. Factor analysis was carried out to identify common themes of barriers, benefits, and motives for physical activity. Factor scores were then used to explore betweengroups differences for perceived barriers, benefits, and motives based on group allocation and demographic variables. No significant differences were found in factor scores based on …

Emg Activation Of The Vastus Medialis Oblique And Vastus Lateralis During Four Rehabilitative Exercises, Debra Kushion, Jessica Rheaume, Kim Kopchitz, Stephen Glass, Gordon Alderink, Jann-Huei Jinn

Stephen C Glass

The purpose of this study was to compare four common rehabilitation exercises used in physical therapy clinics for activating the vastus medialis oblique (VMO) and vastus lateralis (VL). Thirty-four subjects, aged 22-28 years, without patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) (18 females and 16 males) were recruited. Subjects performed four exercises—straight leg raise with neutral and externally rotated hip positions (SLRN, SLRER), and short arc quad with neutral and externally rotated hip positions (SAQN, SAQER). The integrated electromyographic (iEMG) activity of the VMO and VL and were recorded, with means of the VMO, VL and VMO/VL compared across exercises. No significant difference …
