Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) - a novel Pharmacotherapeutic Agent for Obesity
Authors: Khatri Tayyaba , Siddiqui Tasmiyah , Doultani Payal Rani
Published: May 2023

Obesity and its consequential morbidities are a major global burden. with Pakistan having a national obesity risk of  6.5/10.(1) Raised BMI (body mass index-an index of weight to height ratio) along with obesity is one  the  prime risk factors that lead to numerous other non-transmissible diseases like heart diseases, Type 2 diabetes, osteoarthritis and certain carcinomas (Breast, ovarian, colon, liver, prostate, gall bladder). Lifestyle interventions can only produce modest (~5-10%) weight loss, necessitating other antiobesity interventions. Therefore, pharmacological approaches to losing weight are in the limelight. The  U.S. (FDA) Food and Drug Administration has also authorized pharmacological treatment as a new treatment option to incorporate into weight management programme with concomitant dietary and physical behavioral remodeling in patients having 27 kg/m2 or higher BMI along with incidence of any of the following obesity-related comorbidities: T2DM, hypertension, or hypercholesterolemia (2).As of 2021 around 5 antiobesity  medications (AOMs) have been approved by FDA so far but a recent randomized,  placebo controlled double blind trial has incredibly unveiled the potential effects of tirzepatide as an antiobesity drug.
Tirzepatide (Mounjaro) is an exclusive and the only dual receptor agonist the mimicking actions of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and therefore referred as “twincretin”. This drug, originally used to treat T2DM, has now been incredibly effective in treating obesity. According to a recent randomized control trial, 85% of participants with a 5.0 mg dose, 89% participants with a 10 mg dose and 91% participants with a  15 mg dose showed a significant reduction in weight(3) which is a corroborating evidence supporting tirzepatide as antiobesity drug. According to SURPASS-2 clinical trial, comparing efficacy of tirzepatide to semaglutide (a selective GLP-1 receptor agonist), tirzepatide was proven to reduce body weight and A1C levels more effectively than semaglutide demonstrating it to be better in treating not only diabetes but obesity(4). The SURMOUNT-1 trial, depicting the efficacy of tirzepatide, showed significant weight reduction of up to 22.5 % in obese adults (5)
Some of the adverse effects noted with its use were gastrointestinal events like nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. A few contraindications are gallbladder disease, pancreatitis, genetic predisposition of medullary thyroid carcinoma and MEN (multiple endocrine neoplasia) Type 2.

Carmina. Livre VI
Authors: de L'Hospital Michel
Published: May 2023

Le livre VI des Carmina de Michel de L’Hospital comprend treize épîtres hexamétriques composées entre 1562 et 1572, soit du début des guerres de religion au seuil de la Saint-Barthélemy. Deux épîtres sont adressées au cardinal de Lorraine et marquent la fin de la relation entre les deux hommes ; huit autres sont adressées à des serviteurs du roi (De Thou, Pibrac, Du Ferrier, Du Faur), à des juristes (Vacca) et à des philologues (Turnèbe, Corbinelli) ; enfin, trois sont dépourvues de destinataire précis. L’Hospital développe de profondes réflexions politiques, philosophiques, littéraires et religieuses. En sage observateur de son époque, dont il déplore les vices, il laisse une place de plus en plus ample à son idéal éthique et évangélique. La disgrâce du chancelier en 1568 nourrit une méditation sur la vieillesse et le salut. La mise en scène de la violence, physique ou verbale, offre au lecteur un miroir pour notre temps. L’édition fournit le texte latin établi sur les manuscrits collationnés avec les éditions imprimées de 1558 et 1732, une nouvelle traduction, en stiques, une présentation du contexte, une analyse et un commentaire. Le volume est complété d’une introduction, d’un index des lieux, des personnes et des matières.
O Eu e a agressividade na primeira dualidade pulsional freudiana
Authors: Gonçalves Fabrício , Siqueira Caropreso Fátima
Published: May 2023

Este trabalho aborda as hipóteses sobre os conflitos agressivos e sua relação com as instâncias que constituem o Eu na teoria freudiana da primeira dualidade pulsional. Essas hipóteses ganharam maior consistência com a introdução do conceito de narcisismo, em 1914, e das ideias apresentadas em As pulsões e seus destinos. Desde então, a agressividade se tornou um tema cada vez mais frequente, complexo e abrangente na explicação freudiana dos fenômenos psíquicos. Esse desenvolvimento permitiu a Freud inferir a existência de duas diferentes instâncias responsáveis pela agressividade dirigida ao Eu: o “Ideal do Eu” e a parte crítica do próprio Eu. Discutimos algumas incoerências presentes na tentativa de Freud de explicar os conflitos agressivos nessas instâncias e apontamos que elas dão margem a uma dupla interpretação das causas do suicídio e das funções desempenhadas pela parte crítica do Eu.
Kur’ân’da İhbât Kavramı ve Muhbitlerin Nitelikleri
Authors: KARAOĞLAN Arslan
Published: May 2023

Bilimsel ve edebî çalışmalarda kavramlar ve kelimeler çok önemli olup anlamın belirlenmesi ve etkisi açısından künhüne vakıf olunması gereken aşamalardan biridir. Bu durum ilahi mesajın yer aldığı Kur’ân-ı Kerîm ve onun yorumu olan tefsir ilmi için olursa önemi daha da fazladır. Dolayısıyla Kelâmullahın sahih anlaşılabilmesi için onda yer alan kavramları ve kelimeleri de etraflı bir şekilde bilmek gerekir. Bu kavramlardan biri de ihbâttır. Kur’ân’da Hz. Peygamber (sav) özelinde bu kelime erdemli bir davranış olarak bütün inananları kapsamış ve bu vasfı taşıyanlara muhbitîn denilmiştir. Bu çalışmada tefsirlerde ve klasik sözlüklerde verilen bilgiler ışığında ihbât kavramının etimolojik tahlili ve büyük ölçüde ilgili âyetlerle sınırlı olarak muhbitînin temel özellikleri üzerinde duruldu. Bu alanda yapılan çalışmaların yeterli olmadığından hareketle literatür taraması ve bilgilerin analizinin metot olarak benimseneceği incelemede ihbât kavramının amel ve davranışlara nasıl yansıdığı ve bunun Allah katındaki değeri ortaya konmaktadır.

Published: May 2023

Atherothrombotic, which is an atherosclerotic inflammation with thrombus, is characterized by damage to blood vessels that causes myocardial infarction and isemic stroke with thrombolytic treatment. The side effects of thrombolytic treatment are the cause of the importance of alternative medicine from natural ingredients. The ethyl acetate fraction in Phyllanthus niruri L. is suspected to have thrombolytic activity due to the content of coumarin and flavonoid bioactive compounds based on research that has been done. The purpose of this study was to determine the thrombolytic activity of the ethyl acetate fraction of Phyllanthus niruri L. Thrombolytic activity test is done by measuring the percentage of clot lysis. This study used a true experimental method with a Post Test Only Control Group Design model in 6 treatments, positive control, negative control (PBS and 0.5% DMSO) and four samples for both tests, namely 250 g/mL, 500 g/mL, 1000 g/mL, 2000 g/mL. The results of statistical analysis showed that the data were normally distributed (Shapiro Wilk, p>0.05). The result of the largest clot lysis thrombolytic test was 24.43% (2000ppm) smaller than the positive control 46.33%. The results of the thrombolytic ANOVA test showed that there was no significant difference between treatments, p<0.05, namely 0.017 and F Count > F Table, namely 0.937>3.11. Based on the results, it was found that the ethyl acetate fraction of the herb Phyllanthus niruri L. had a thrombolytic substance with low potency.

El tipo cero y la base cero en el IVA por las donaciones de bienes a entidades de la Ley 49/2002. La modificación de la LIVA por la Ley de economía circular
Authors: Blázquez Lidoy Alejandro
Published: May 2023

La Ley 7/2022, de 8 de abril, de residuos y suelos contaminados para una economía circular, ha introducido, a través de su disposición final tercera, una modificación de importancia conceptual en la estructura del IVA; ha regulado el tipo cero y la base cero para las entregas de bienes sin contraprestación a entidades del artículo 2 de la Ley 49/2002. La finalidad de la reforma, según las enmiendas presentadas, era evitar el coste que el IVA por autoconsumo suponía para las empresas y beneficiar el medioambiente, el tercer sector y los más desfavorecidos. El presente trabajo analiza la reforma y concluye que es una modificación imprecisa, incoherente con los antecedentes, técnicamente deficiente, desproporcionada, redundante y vulnera la Directiva del IVA 2006/112. Habría sido necesaria una aproximación mucho más orientada y limitada a solventar problemas muy concretos y cuyo régimen pudiera ser defendido con arreglo a criterios jurídicos.
HAS STOCK MARKET DEVELOPMENT ENGENDERED SHORT AND LONG-RUN INCLUSIVE GROWTH IN NIGERIA?
Authors: Bernhard O. Ishioro  , Emmanuel M. Tarurhor,
Published: May 2023

This study examines the impact of capital market performance on economic growth. Time series data obtained from the official publications of the Securities Exchange Commission, Nigerian Stock Exchange and Central Bank of Nigeria were analyzed using regression estimation technique, in which we related the proxies of stock market performance indicators (such as stock market capitalization, value of new issues and value of shares traded) to economic growth (represented by the Gross Domestic Product). Results show that both market capitalization and the value of new issues have a positive relationship with economic growth while value and the volume of shares traded had negative relationships with economic growth . It was therefore recommended that the stock market should be made more liquid in order for turnover rate to increase. This will boost investors' confidence and awareness and would make funds available for long-term development of the industrial sector and the economy.

Keywords: Stock Market Development, Long-Run, Inclusive Economic Growth.

ELECTRICITY ENERGY CONSUMPTION AND QUALITY OF LIFE: EVIDENCE FROM AN ELECTRICITY ENERGY-DEFICIENT ECONOMY
Authors: Bernhard O. ISHIORO, Ph.D
Published: May 2023

The electricity-growth literature is replete with empirical evidences of studies that adopted the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) or its surrogates  as  measures of the quality of life. Hence, the fundamental focus of this study is to explore the link between electricity energy consumption  and quality of life in Nigeria for the period 1990 to 2020.The Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) model was adapted as the econometric estimation technique for the examination of the link between electricity energy consumption (ELE) and the quality of life of electricity-dependent economic agents represented as  HDI1 and HDI2. The resultant estimates and outcomes of the ARDL test  indicated that there is no short and long-run connectivity between ELE and HDI (1). We concluded that, ELE has not been  beneficial for the enhancement of  the quality of life (when represented as HDI1) and / or its accumulation in the short- and long -run but has long run positive consequences for  only  HDI2. Therefore, the government of Nigeria, and the international bilateral and multilateral agencies for the development of quality of life should encourage electricity consumption as a complement of human well-being and  quality of life especially HDI1 and HDI2 for short and long-run purposes.

Keywords: Electricity Energy, Quality of life, Human Development, Cointegration, ARDL Bounds Test, Nigeria.

Published: May 2023

Objective: To find out the accuracy of lung ultrasound to diagnose transient tachypnea in neonates

                 

Methodology: Cross-sectional study at Neonatology Department, Sadiq Abbasi (Civil) Hospital Bahawalpur from January 2019 to October 2022 and comprised of neonates diagnosed as transient tachypnea of newborn admitted and were divided into 2 groups based on Chest radiograph findings comparable to each other in demographics. Lung Ultrasonography examinations were performed in all patients in a peaceful condition. Each lung was split up in three zones bounded by anterior axillary and posterior axillary lines as anterior, posterior and lateral. Lung Ultrasonography results compared with CXR findings. 

Results: Out of 148, Lung Ultrasonography diagnosed transient tachypnea of newborn in 74% while Chest radiograph was suggestive in 39% however, Lung Ultrasonography was also diagnosed i.e. 61% transient tachypnea of newborn in neonates having normal Chest radiograph examination. The commonest Lung Ultrasonography indexes of transient tachypnea of newborn were A-lines abnormalities 100%, B-lines abnormalities 94.5 %, interstitial syndromes 81.6%, white lungs 36.6%, double lung point 86.77%, consolidation 21% and pleural effusions 10%. The sensitivity of LUS to diagnose transient tachypnea of newborn was 86.5% and the sensitivity and the specificity of Double Lung Point to diagnose transient tachypnea of newborn were 92.2% and 80% respectively.

 Conclusion: Lung Ultrasonography is a noninvasive way of bedside neonatal examination. It has analytic value to diagnose lung disease in neonates but also helps in differentiation of different lung diseases with no radiation hazard.

Return values of temperature and snow loadings for 50, 100 and 120-year return periods to support building design standards in Ireland
Authors: Mateus Carla , Coonan Barry
Published: May 2023

Abstract. This research produced gridded datasets and maps for use in building design
standards to enhance resilience in support of climate change adaptation in
Ireland. The new isothermal maps of return values of maximum and minimum air
temperatures at mean sea level for 50, 100 and 120-year return periods based
on the generalised extreme value distribution will be crucial to inform the
design of buildings and bridges. The warming of the maximum and minimum air
temperatures due to climate change has increased the intensity of the
highest maximum air temperature while decreasing the intensity of the lowest
extreme minimum air temperature of the new isothermal maps compared to
previously published maps for a 50-year return period. Specifically, the new
extreme isotherms are 32 ∘C for the maximum air temperature and
−14 ∘C for the minimum air temperature, whereas the processor maps
presented 30 and −16 ∘C, respectively. The
geographical distribution of the isotherms for the 120-year return period
range from 28 to 34 ∘C for the maximum air
temperature and from −6 to −18 ∘C for the minimum air
temperature. For the first time, isothermal maps of return values of the lowest 10 cm
soil temperature for 50, 100 and 120-year return periods based on the
generalised extreme value distribution have been produced for Ireland. The
results presented here will be paramount to supporting the design of
building structures. The values of the 120-year return period range from
0 to −2 ∘C. The produced maps represent the
worst-case scenario in the current context of climate warming. The new maps of return values of snow loading at 100 m above mean sea
level for 50, 100 and 120-year return periods based on the generalised
Pareto distribution will be indispensable to support the design of buildings
and civil engineering works such as roof patterns or bridges. The values of
the 50-year return period map present four classes spread North-East to
South-West: < 0.3, 0.3–0.4, 0.4–0.5 and 0.5–0.6 kN m−2,
which is more accurate than the previously published map. It is expected that the comprehensive explanation of the methods and the
rationale for the new maps presented here as being more accurate than the
preceding maps will assist regulators in adopting these new maps in their
own jurisdictions. Furthermore, these new maps will be of interest to a
diversity of sectors, planners and policymakers to make long, lasting and
climate-based sensitive decisions.
Deciphering the origin of dubiofossils from the Pennsylvanian of the Paraná Basin, Brazil
Authors: Saldanha João Pedro Saldanha , Cagliari Joice , Sacalise Horodyski Rodrigo , Del Mouro Lucas , Alves Forancelli Pacheco Mírian Liza
Published: May 2023

Abstract. Minerals are the fundamental record of abiotic processes over time, while biominerals, are one of the most common records of life due to their easy preservation and abundance. However, distinguishing between biominerals and abiotic minerals is challenging because the record is defined by the superimposition and repetition of geologic processes and the interference of ubiquitous and diverse life on Earth's surface and crust. Mineral dubiofossils, located on the threshold between abiotic and biotic, can help resolve this issue. The aim of this contribution is to decipher the origin and history of branched mineralized structures that were previously considered mineral dubiofossils. While this material has different forms and refers to biological aspects, it is difficult to associate it with any known Fossil Group due to the overlapping geological processes that occur in the Rio do Sul Formation (Pennsylvanian of the Paraná Basin), very close to the contact from a sill of the Serra Geral Group – Lower Cretaceous with a proven thermal effect. The samples were described using a protocol that evaluated: 1) morphology, texture, and structure; 2) relationship with the matrix; 3) composition and 4) context, assessing indigeneity and syngenicity, and comparing them with abiotic and biotic products. Despite conducting an extensive comparison with abiotic minerals, as well as controlled, induced, and influenced biominerals, no more probable hypothesis was found, excluding the possibility of it being a controlled biomineral due to its patternless diversity of forms and the purely thermometamorphic origin due to the branched elongated form. The occurrence of these structures suggests a complex history: a syndepositional or eodiagenetic origin of some carbonate or sulfate (gypsum, ikaite, dolomite, calcite, siderite), which may be linked to the presence of microbial mats, could have served as a template for mineralization and possibly mediated mineral growth. Mesodiagenesis could have also modified the occurrence, but the main agent responsible for its formation was the Cretaceous intrusion, which dissolved and replaced the initial mineral and precipitated calcite, resulting in the dubiofossil. Throughout these steps, physical-chemical and biological reactions, aided by the intrinsic characteristics of the matrix, amount of organic matter, and distance from contact with the intrusive body, may have increased the morphological complexity. This material illustrates how dubiofossils can be the result of a complex history and overlapping geological processes. It also highlights the difficulty in differentiating biominerals from abiotic minerals due to the scarcity of biogenicity arguments.

Abstract. The Single Field-of-view (SFOV) Sounder Atmospheric Product (SiFSAP) retrieval algorithm has been developed to address the need to retrieve high spatial resolution atmospheric data products from hyper-spectral sounders and ensure the radiometric consistency between the retrieved properties and measured spectral radiances. It is based on an integrated optimal estimation inversion scheme that processes data from the satellite based synergistic microwave (MW) and infrared (IR) spectral measurements from advanced sounders. The retrieval system utilizes the principal component radiative transfer model (PCRTM) which performs radiative transfer calculations monochromatically and includes accurate cloud scattering simulations. SiFSAP includes temperature, water vapor, surface skin temperature and emissivity, cloud height and microphysical properties, and concentrations of essential trace gases for each SFOV at a native instrument spatial resolution. Error estimations are provided based on a rigorous analysis for uncertainty propagation from the Top-Of-Atmosphere (TOA) spectral radiances to the retrieved geophysical properties. As a comparison, the spatial resolution for the traditional hyper-spectral sounder retrieval products is much coarser than the native resolution of the instruments due to common use of the ‘cloud clearing’ technique to compensate for the lack of cloud scattering simulation in the forward model. The degraded spatial resolution in traditional cloud-clearing sounder retrieval products limits their applications for capturing meteorological or climate signals at finer spatial scales. Moreover, rigorous uncertainty propagation estimation needed for long-term climate trend studies cannot be given due to the lack of direct radiative transfer relationships between the observed TOA radiances and the retrieved geophysical properties. With advantages of the higher spatial resolution, the simultaneous retrieval of atmospheric, cloud, and surface properties using all available spectral information, and the establishment of ‘radiance closure’ in the sounder spectral measurements, the SiFSAP provides additional information needed for various weather and climate studies and applications using sounding observations. This paper gives an overview of SiFSAP retrieval algorithm, and assessment of SiFSAP atmospheric temperature, water vapor, clouds, and surface products derived from the Cross-track Infrared Sounder (CrIS) and Advanced Technology Microwave Sounder (ATMS) data.

Abstract. In this paper, we present a new design for a 1 atm gas-mixing furnace using the gas mixture CO–CO2–SO2. This furnace can simulate disequilibrium processes such as magmatic and volcanic degassing. Here, we present the technical aspects of the design. The furnace can sustain temperatures of up to 1650 ∘C and has a hot zone that spans 200 mm vertically, where the hotspot is determined to be ∼ 32 mm below the midpoint of the furnace enclosure. The four mass flow controllers are individually calibrated and accurate to within 0.8 % of the specified value. The fO2 is accurately reproduced in the furnace within ±0.002 log units, as calibrated by the Fe–FeO reaction across the iron–wüstite (IW) buffer at 1300 ∘C. The furnace can reliably simulate dynamic conditions, where the fO2 can be modulated at a maximum rate of 2.0 log units min−1 by varying the gas mixture. A delay of 40 s is observed to attain the fO2 calculated from the gas mixture, at the hotspot. A series of safety measures to protect the user from exposure to the toxic gases are detailed. In our experiments, the furnace is used to determine sulfur isotope fractionation factors among melt, sulfide, and the gas phase, within a magmatic context, using either crystals of olivine or silica glass tubes. The furnace has the potential to investigate various other dynamic high-temperature reactions occurring on Earth.

Toward a Grotkean Pedagogy: Teacher as Political
Authors: Golden Sean Cameron
Published: May 2023

Teachers, and teaching, are not supposed to be political. For years this mantra was said and believed to be true. Whenever political queations were encountered in the classroom, teachers, according to the white male patriarchy that shaped modern day schooling, were expected to push those questions aside and continue to teach the "content" dictated by the heteropatriarchal system of public schools. Inspired by Miss Alordayne Grotke's teaching from the Disney show Recess!, this autoethnographic work explores how and why I chose to practice being teacher as political. This article narrowly focuses on specific political choices made inside the classroom and debunks the myth that a teacher should be politically neutral in the classroom.

El Farol indiano de fray Manuel Pérez y los indios “aespañolados” de la ciudad de México
Authors: Castro Gutiérrez Felipe
Published: May 2023

El artículo aborda el Farol Indiano y guía de curas de indios de fray Manuel Pérez, párroco de un barrio de indios en la ciudad de México a inicios del siglo XVIII, para analizar los contrastes que establecía entre la condición, conductas y actitudes de sus feligreses respecto de sus previas experiencias en un remoto pueblo serrano. Estos comentarios interesan porque arrojan luz sobre indios que vivían en estrecho contacto y comunicación con españoles y las llamadas “castas”, y que estaban plenamente integrados a la vida social y económica de la ciudad. Aparece, también, la dura condición de muchos de sus feligreses, empleados en panaderías, obrajes y curtiembres, así como los abusos que sufrían de parte de los alguaciles. Asimismo, presenta un panorama interesante sobre su forma de adaptarse a difíciles circunstancias y la manera en que buscaban prácticas sociales y económicas para sobrevivir e incluso medrar en la gran ciudad.
Antigos atores, novas propostas: o IAS como protagonista na promoção das competências socioemocionais na Educação Básica brasileira
Authors: Estormovski Renata Cecilia
Published: May 2023

Atores que tradicionalmente desenvolvem articulações em redes políticas implicadas na redefinição do conteúdo da educação pública brasileira têm como característica a capilaridade para que suas propostas acolham ideias singulares e alcancem adesão. Neste estudo, analisa-se a atuação do Instituto Ayrton Senna (IAS) na promoção das competências socioemocionais nos currículos da Educação Básica por meio do exame de materiais (como documentos orientadores e matérias jornalísticas), disponíveis em seu website, que elucidam suas estratégias de ação e suas intenções formativas. Com isso, busca-se esclarecer suas capacidades, o alcance de suas relações e o modo como prioriza tal conteúdo em suas propostas, o que é feito com o apoio teórico-metodológico da etnografia de redes. O problema de pesquisa sintetiza-se em: Como o IAS atua na promoção das competências socioemocionais nos currículos da Educação Básica? Por meio da análise, identifica-se a presença constante do IAS em programas e projetos que objetivam legitimar conteúdos singulares na Educação Básica, percebendo-se seu engajamento recente para que competências socioemocionais sejam apropriadas pelas escolas em suas práticas, agindo em diferentes frentes e associando-se a outros atores distintos. O estudo aponta o engajamento de suas propostas com as necessidades hodiernas da organização produtiva, que tem exigido, em meio a um capitalismo afetivo, a promoção do gerenciamento emocional dos sujeitos.

The aim of this research is to examine the effect of GHRM practices on hotel environmental performance in Pakistan. The study further analyze the effects of green POS, pro-environmental behavior, or green innovative work behavior (GIWB). The target area was belong of five-star hotel workers in Pakistan. PLS-SEM was used to analyse data gathered by a survey questionnaire from 225 workers. According to the findings green POS, which leads to pro-environmental behavior and GIWB, was establish to be a powerful predictor of GHRM practices (green recruitment or hiring, green training, green rewarding, or green performance assessment). The results also revealed that pro-environmental behavior or GIWB had a momentous effect on hotel environmental performance. Moreover, Green HRM practices are considered to indirectly contribute to environmental performance via green POS, pro-environmental behavior, and GIWB. This research is one of the unique efforts in the area of environmental management to incorporate GHRM practices with green POS, pro-environmental behaviors, and GIWB. It makes a clear contribution towards a new streamline of research to realize the critical function of GHRM exercise to modify the environmental performance in hotels. The research aggregation have suggested GHRM is an important indication for supporting green POS and encouraging pro-environmental behaviors, as well as GIWB. It can support hotel managers to promote the green POS among the employees by practicing the GHRM practices that enables pro-environmental behavior and GIWB to solve the hotel industry's increasing environmental problems. Recent research suggests that managers should maintain and follow GHRM efforts and policies to improve environmental performance.

Influencia de la Fatiga en la Actividad Muscular y el Rendimiento del Miembro Superior
Authors: Rota Samuel , Hautier Christophe
Published: May 2023

El objetivo de este trabajo es examinar la incidencia de la fatiga sobre la precisión, la velocidad de la pelota y la actividad muscular durante el servicio y el golpe de derecha. El protocolo de la fatiga dio como resultado una disminución de la velocidad de la pelota en los servicios y una menor precisión en los golpes de derecha, debido a la menor activación de ciertos músculos. Los jugadores que experimentaban fatiga utilizaban una estrategia de adaptación basada en el tipo de golpe, sin modificar su coordinación inter-muscular. Estos resultados nos llevan a considerar la posibilidad de trabajar sobre la resistencia a la fatiga para golpes y grupos musculares específicos.
