1. The effect of a weight lifting belt and the use of valsalva maneuver on power output and velocity in a squat
University essay from Högskolan i Halmstad/Akademin för ekonomi, teknik och naturvetenskapAbstract : Background: A squat is a common exercise that is used in many areas of strength training and for different purposes and the literature is inconclusive when it comes to whether the weight lifting belt (WB) affects performance and/or is injury-preventing. The use of breathing techniques is common during heavy lifting and therefore the practice of the breathing teqnice; valsalva maneuver (VM) may be of interest to study and if this along with the WB can provide some advantages in power output and velocity.

2. Modelling of Venous Biomechanics and Evaluation using Imaging, Positive Airway Pressure and Postural Changes
University essay from Umeå universitet/Institutionen för fysikAbstract : Knowledge about biomechanical properties of veins is of importance for understanding the physiologyof the venous system. Specifically for this thesis there is a motivation based on an idea of how to usebiomechanics of the vein in the development of new non-invasive measurement techniques for assessingthe pressure in the brain.

3. Hemodynamic Model of the Cardiovascular System during Valsalva Maneuver and Orthostatic Changes
University essay from RadiofysikAbstract : The goal of the Master's Thesis was to extend an existing cardiovascular model to include the mechanics of the lung, thus allowing to simulate breathing maneuvers such as the Valsalva maneuver and the Forced Vital Capacity maneuver. This included a remodeling of the pulmonary capillaries and of the existing interactions of the model with the intrathoracic pressure. READ MORE
