Effects of high-intensity interval training on physical and cognitive function in middle-aged male mice by Justin C. Stephenson, Tuan D. Tran, Ted G. Graber, Ted G. Graber, Ted G. Graber, Ted G. Graber

“…Although numerous studies have elucidated the benefits ofexercise per se, the effect of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on a middle-aged population is less well-studied.ObjectiveOur primary purpose was to assess the effect of 3 months of HIIT on physical and cognitive performance in middle-aged (17-month-old at the end) male C57BL/6J mice compared to sedentary controls (SED). We hypothesized that exercised mice would be resistant to age-related decline in cognitive and physical ability.MethodsTo measure physical function, we used the well-validated comprehensive functional assessment battery (CFAB) scoring system, comprised of determinants including voluntary wheel running, inverted cling, grip test, treadmill maximum speed, and rotarod performance. …”

Geometric Analysis of a Multi-fingered Robotic Hand Involving an Iris Mechanism by Juntao HUANG, Tadashi EGAMI

“…We perform a geometric analysis of the relation between the rotational angle of the blades and the sizes of graspable objects, considering both the circumferential multi-point grasping of cylindrical objects and the multi-point pinching of rectangular objects. By comparing the analysis results of these different grasping methods, we consider how differences in the number of fingers and their cross-sectional shapes affect the size of graspable objects. …”

Resistance exercise training improves disuse-induced skeletal muscle atrophy in humans: a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials by Xian Guo, Yanbing Zhou, Xinxin Li, Jinhao Mu

“…Abstract Background This meta-analysis aimed to determine whether resistance exercise training (RET) can attenuate the loss of muscle volume and function in anti-gravitational muscles, especially quadriceps and calf muscles, during immobilization/disuse conditions. Methods A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify randomized controlled trials comparing RET vs. no exercise during immobilization/disuse. …”
