Article Abstract
This study aimed to explore the differences in the load-velocity profile between three upper-body pushing exercises in men and women. The load-velocity profiles (from 20% to 100% of the one-repetition maximum [1RM] in 5% increments) of 24 sport sciences students (12 men) were randomly tested during the horizontal bench press (HBP), inclined bench press (IBP) and seated military press (SMP) exercises. The 1RM was higher for the HBP (men: 94.2 ± 14.6 kg; women: 45.4 ± 10.1 kg), followed by the IBP (men: 87.7 ± 11.6 kg; women: 41.6 ± 6.6 kg), and finally the SMP (men: 67.4 ± 7.8 kg; women: 37.3 ± 6.3 kg). The mean test velocity (i.e., averaged velocity of all loads) and the slope of the load-velocity profile were significantly different between exercises (SMP > IBP > HBP) and sexes (men > women). The correlations between the exercises were very high for the individual 1RM values ( range = 0.714-0.982), but lower correlations were observed for the mean test velocity ( range = 0.237-0.766) slope of the load-velocity profile ( range = 0.018-0.721), and velocity of the 1RM ( range = 0.004-0.446). These results confirm that men present higher velocities at low relative loads (i.e., %1RM) compared to women during upper-body pushing exercises.

A Robust Disturbance Rejection Whole-Body Control Framework for Bipedal Robots Using a Momentum-Based Observer.

This paper presents a complete planner and controller scheme for bipedal robots, designed to enhance robustness against external disturbances. The high-level planner utilizes model predictive control (MPC) to optimize both the foothold location and step duration based on the divergent component of motion (DCM) to increase the robustness of generated gaits. For low-level control, we employ a momentum-based observer capable of estimating external forces acting on both stance and swing legs.

Article Synopsis
- - Paralympic cross-country sit-skiing uses specialized sledges and involves athletes classified by functional abilities, employing a double poling technique to generate speed while sitting in different positions based on impairment.
- - A study analyzed muscle activation patterns in able-bodied athletes using a treadmill in three sitting positions—knee-high, knee-low, and neutral—while measuring pole forces and muscle activity through surface EMG.
- - Results indicated that muscle activation varies by individual; the knee-low position was found to be the most efficient for force application, while the next phase of research will focus on impaired athletes to deepen understanding of the poling movement's neurophysiology.
An Assessment of the Ratio between Upper Body Push and Pull Strength in Female and Male Elite Swedish Track and Field Throwers.

Data on the strength ratio between agonist and antagonist muscles are frequently examined in sports testing, given its correlation with athletic performance. The purpose of this study was to determine the agonist-to-antagonist ratio of upper body strength in female and male elite Swedish track and field throwers using a new push (bench press) and pull (supine bench row) test device, and to determine its reliability. The study involved eight female and nine male athletes, aged 19-29 years, engaging, respectively, in discus, hammer, and shot put competitions at both national and international levels.

Conveying information effectively while minimizing user distraction is critical to human-computer interaction. As the proliferation of audio-visual communication pushes human information processing capabilities to the limit, researchers are turning their attention to haptic interfaces. Haptic feedback has the potential to create a desirable sense of urgency that allows users to selectively focus on events/tasks or process presented information with minimal distraction or annoyance.

The objectives of this network meta-analysis were: (a) to estimate and compare the pooled effects of some injury prevention programs (IPPs) whose exercise-based components were categorized using a movement pattern-specific taxonomy on reducing overall and some specific body regions (lower extremity, thigh, knee, and ankle) injury incidences in youth team sport athletes and (b) to explore the individual effects of these components on the injury incidence rates (IIRs) previously mentioned. Searches were performed in PubMed, Web of Science, SPORTDiscus, and Cochrane Library. Eligible criteria were: exercise-based interventions comprised of exercises involving athletic motor skill competencies and evaluated against a control group, overall IIRs were reported, and youth (≤19 years old) team sport players.
