1. 21. The effect of Post activation potentiation on triceps brachii and latissimus dorsi on the aerobic performance of elite freestyle swimmers

   University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskap

   Author : Madeleine Eriksson; [2017]
   Keywords : Post activation potentiation; swimming; aerobic; V4-speed;

   Abstract : Background: Competitive swimming is a sport that require high muscle strength to overcome the forces in the water. A phenomenon called post activation potentiation (PAP) is known to acutely increase power output. PAP can be defined as an increase in muscle performance after muscle contraction. READ MORE

3. 22. Muscle activation during the chin-up exercise versus the lat-pulldown exercise using different workloads : An Electromyography study

   University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskap

   Author : Niklas Ekberg; [2017]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Background: Two commonly used strength training exercises are the chin-up- and the lat-pulldown exercise. Both exercises are performed by using similar movement patterns and by using the same primary muscles. Previous research has shown that each exercise can exhibit unique training stimulus and should not be considered interchangeably. READ MORE

4. 23. Towards Identifying Pharmacodynamic Blood Biomarkers of MAP3K12 Inhibition

   University essay from Lunds universitet/Tillämpad biokemi

   Author : Elisabeth Jirström; [2017]
   Keywords : Mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase; MAP3K12; Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; DLK; ALS; Pharmacodynamic; Biomarker; applied biochemistry; tillämpad biokemi; Technology and Engineering; Biology and Life Sciences; Medicine and Health Sciences; Chemistry;

   Abstract : Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive degeneration of upper and lower motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord, for which there is no cure. Activation of the stress-induced c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway, a critical mediator of neuronal apoptosis and axon degeneration, is evident in ALS and is therefore considered a potential target to prevent neurodegeneration.

5. 24. Post-activation Potentiation : Effects on performance, tensile, and contractile properties of the plantar flexor muscles

   University essay from Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan, GIH/Institutionen för idrotts- och hälsovetenskap

   Author : Anja Zoellner; [2016]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : Aim The present thesis aimsto provide scientific based evidence that might expand the limited information available regarding the post-activation potentiation (PAP) effects on the rate of torque development (RTD) and muscle activity during repeated isokinetic concentric maximal voluntary contractions(MVC). Additionally, we aim to provide new insights related to the possible effects that such repeated maximal contractions might have on the muscle tendon unit (MTU) stiffness. READ MORE

6. 25. Method Development for Determining the Stability of Heat Stable Proteins Combined with Biophysical Characterization of Human Calmodulin and the Disease Associated Variant D130G

   University essay from Linköpings universitet/Institutionen för fysik, kemi och biologi

   Author : Ehlimana Aleckovic; Linnea Andersson; Sherley Chamoun; Ellen Einarsson; Ebba Ekstedt; Emma Eriksen; Maria Madan-Andersson; [2016]
   Keywords : Calmodulin; wild type; D130G variant; method; affinity; trifluoperazine; p-HTMI.;

   Abstract : Calmodulin is a highly conserved calcium ion binding protein expressed in all eukaryotic species. The 149 amino acid residues in the primary structure are organized in seven α helices with the highly flexible central α helix connecting the two non-cooperative domains of calmodulin. READ MORE
