Previous studies have demonstrated the positive effects of post activation potentiation (PAP) on jump height and sprint speed. PAP is the short-term enhancement of neuromuscular function in activated muscle fibers following a high-intensity warm-up (WU). However, this phenomenon has yet to be practically applied to high-intensity cycling. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to determine if a high power WU capable of inducing PAP will improve power output during a Wingate test when compared to the normal, moderate intensity WU. METHODS: Eleven subjects participated in one familiarization trial followed by two testing sessions. Each session consisted of a WU protocol, followed by 5 min of rest, before beginning the 30 s Wingate. WU protocols involved stationary cycling employing a constant resistance of 3 % of the subject’s body mass, and included three 5 s cycling sprints occurring at the ends of minutes 2, 3, and 4 using either 3 % or 10 % body mass as resistance. Peak power (PP), average power (AP) and fatigue index (FI) were analyzed using a paired samples t-test. RESULTS: PP during the Wingate was not different between protocols (t=-1.34, p=.21). The 3 % protocol had an average PP of 760±182 W while the 10 % protocol had an average PP of 770±189 W. Negligible differences (t=-.01, p=.99) in AP were detected between the 3 % protocol, which had an AP of 600±102W, and the 10 % protocol, which had an AP of 600±107 W. Additionally, no significant differences (t=-.53, p=.61) were observed in FI between the two protocols, as the 10 % protocol had an average FI of 42.5±7.9 % while the 3 % protocol had an average FI of 43.2±8.5%. The 10 % resistance sprints performed during the WU reached a PP more than double that of the 3 % resistance sprints. CONCLUSION: Given that no significant differences in power output were detected between the WU protocols in this study, either PAP was not achieved through the WU protocols used, or PAP has no effect on PP in high intensity cycling. Further research could be done to observe whether more traditional, isometric PAP inducing WU protocols could increase PP performance in high intensity cycling

Czyje jest miasto? Kilka uwag o jednej powieści K.M. Bakowa
No full textThe article looks at the question of using urban studies as a set of interpretive techniques in analyzing popular literature – especially in its most popular genre – crime fiction. On the basis of K.M. Bakow’s debut novel Albatros i hiena [Albatross and hyena], set in Bielsko-Biała, the author of the article shows how the criminal intrigue is enriched by a specific way of showing urban space and how it relates to the main character, detective Ewa Orlowska. The proposed model of interpretation can be used
in discussing subsequent novels by the author of Padlinożercy [Scavengers] and fits into the framework of geopoetics and text [email protected] Literaturoznawstwa, Uniwersytet ŚląskiBakow K. M.

Internet Identifiability and Beyond: A Model of the Effects of Identifiability on Communicative Behavior
No full textK.M. Douglas and C. McGarty (in press) demonstrated that being identifiable to an ingroup
audience in a computer-mediated communication (CMC) setting leads people to describe
anonymous outgroup targets in more abstract, or stereotypical ways. Based on these findings,
and on the social identity model of deindividuation effects (SIDE: S.D. Reicher, R. Spears,
& T. Postmes, 1995), we aimed to test a model of the effects of identifiability on
communicative behavior, in and beyond CMC. Participants in three studies, one CMC and
two pen/paper, were asked to write responses to controversial messages. In all three studies,
communicators who were identifiable to an ingroup audience used more stereotypical
language to describe anonymous outgroup targets. Although Study 1 suggested that this
increase in stereotypical language use may be strategic, Studies 2 and 3 suggested instead that
it may result from more subtle, or implicit communicative processes. These results are
discussed in relation to the revised SIDE model and a final model is proposed

Previous studies have evaluated differences in lower limb biomechanics between shod and unshod running conditions, yet limited research has been done to assess whether differences in jump landings are adopted under such conditions. Moreover, further research of lower limb biomechanics, especially knee valgus, could aid clinical assessment of risk for lower limb injury such as ACL tears. PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to compare muscle activation and knee valgus observed during drop vertical jump (DVJ) landings under shod and unshod conditions. A secondary purpose was to evaluate the clinical applicability of using 2D motion capture data to evaluate knee valgus by comparing the estimated angles to those measured using 3D goniometers. METHODS: Eleven recreationally active females (19.9±1.2 yr., 58.4±6.5 kg, 166.0±4.5 cm) were recruited from Gonzaga University to participate in this study. Subjects performed three shod and unshod DVJs relative to their individual jumping abilities. Knee valgus was measured via electro goniometers and by 2D motion capture. 2D ratios were calculated using 6 equations attempting to predict a relationship with the 3D system. EMG recordings of biceps and rectus femoris activation were also obtained for the two conditions. RESULTS: No significant differences were found between shod and unshod conditions for muscle activation or goniometer measures. The 2D valgus ratios calculated were not significantly correlated to 3D goniometer values (r values ranged from -.146 to .054). CONCLUSION: Jump landings performed barefoot did not influence subjects to adopt a more ideal landing strategy. The present study suggests that there is no change to barefoot landing mechanisms between shod and unshod conditions, and the potential for decreased shock absorption from unshod landings could increase the likelihood of lower limb injury. This study also did not find a clinical application of using 2D motion capture techniques to infer 3D knee movements
