Effects of an Ionic Bracelet on Physical, Cognitive, and Integrative Tasks
Get PDFAbstract: One approach in complementary/alternative medicine posits that manipulations of undocumented body energy patterns (biofields) can improve health and function. Various clinician-delivered interventions focus on biofields, but devices that purportedly correct these are also marketed and claim immediate benefits in a variety of domains. OBJECTIVE: To determine acute effects of ionic bracelet use on physical, cognitive and integrative sports-related tasks. METHODS: 52 healthy young adults participated (9 men and 43 women; 20.2±3.4 years of age; 65.4±11.3 kg; 165±6.9 cm). None reported prior or current use of the product. Each completed 2 series of 6 tasks wearing the ionic and an inert bracelet (counter-balanced presentation order). Bracelets were applied by the investigators behind a shield and covered by a sleeve in a single-blind design. Center of pressure excursion in single leg stance on a dynamic surface assessed posture control; anticipation timing absolute error represented perceptuomotor performance; time difference between 2 Stroop task variants tested concentration; peak vertical jump velocity (m/s) served to test power; maximum force in an isometric dead-lift was used to test strength; and time able to hold a weight (20% of body weight) at chin level served to test endurance. Effects of test order and bracelet type were analyzed independently via paired t-tests (α =.05). RESULTS: An order effect for strength was observed, attributable to a learning effect or an artifact of the number of t-tests applied; no other significant contrast was revealed. CONCLUSION: This ionic bracelet demonstrated no immediate benefits in any of the domains examined
SOURCE 2023 Program
No full textWe welcome you to Central Washington University’s annual Symposium of University Research and Creative Expression, or SOURCE.
Now in its 28th year, SOURCE has a long-standing history as CWU’s flagship research event where our campus and local communities come together to celebrate the outstanding research and creative work that happens at our university every day.
Here at CWU we are proud of the impact that our hands-on learning approach has on our students. The benefits of these high impact practices will be evident in the presentations, demonstrations, talks and performances you will interact with at SOURCE. The knowledge and experience gained by our students through their preparation for and participation in this event will serve them not only through the remainder of their academic careers, but into the future as they enter the workforce as well
Intrinsic Value for the Environmental Pragmatist
Get PDFMotivated by the disconnect between the seeming impossibility of resolving deep metaphysical disputes, and the pressing need for environmental action, many environmental philosophers have embraced environmental pragmatism. Environmental pragmatists focus on the practical effects of philosophical arguments. With this as their agenda, environmental pragmatists have consistently endorsed anthropocentrism as the value system for discussing environmental issues, in order to achieve efficacious results. This is based on the notion that appeals to human goods are the best means for motivating humans to action. This essay will show some conceptual and empirical problems with this pretense, to argue that true environmental pragmatists ought to supplement anthropocentric values with nonanthropocentric value of the non-human world
