Dit onderzoek is uitgevoerd in opdracht van Life & Mobility. Het onderzoek richt zich op het verschil in energieverbruik, hartslag, aandrijftechniek en de resultaten van een mobiliteitstest tussen de Newton-houding en de Standaard-houding. Waarbij de Standaard-houding wordt gedefinieerd als een rechte …

Self-determination theory is hugely popular in peer reviewed psychology, while it is both a very general theory, and in nature common sense. However, it seems to be, as John Maynard Keynes argues. that “It is better to be roughly right than precisely wrong.” Psychology can hardly be blamed for being …

PURPOSE: Fatigue is a common and potentially disabling symptom in patients with cancer. It can often be effectively reduced by exercise. Yet, effects of exercise interventions might differ across subgroups. We conducted a meta-analysis using individual patient data of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) …

Background Strength testing of the serratus anterior muscle with hand held dynamometry (HDD) in supine subjects has low reproducibility, and is influenced by compensatory activity of other muscles like the pectoralis major and upper trapezius. Previously, two manual maximum voluntary isometric contraction …

OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effects of exercise interventions on sleep disturbances and sleep quality in patients with mixed cancer diagnoses, and identify demographic, clinical, and intervention-related moderators of these effects. METHODS: Individual patient data (IPD) and aggregated meta-analyses …

This research proposes new structural lay-outs for large wind turbine blades. The lay-outs were found by an optimisation method where the aerodynamics of wind turbine blades was combined with the structural model of the blade, formulated in a corotational framework. The aeroelastic blade loads were calculated …

Nowadays “facts” and thus “truth” seems inescapable: there 's hardly any room for imagination, let alone for myths. However, we must not confuse facts with truth. Newton, for example, would never have come to his deep knowledge if he had not looked past the facts. There are never enough facts, if you …

Background: Exercise effects in cancer patients often appear modest, possibly because interventions rarely target patients most in need. This study investigated the moderator effects of baseline values on the exercise outcomes of fatigue, aerobic fitness, muscle strength, quality of life (QoL), and self-reported …

The following research seeks to enlarge the string quartet repertoire by making and performing original re-orchestrations of contemporary film music. It examines the art of storytelling and how to reproduce a cinematic drama on a smaller scale – divorced from its visual component. The basis of this project …
