Analysis of Olive Detachment Force to Improve Olive Shaker Efficiency Through Branch Modeling by Giuseppe Macoretta, Sofia Matilde Luglio, Federico Conforti, Michele Abruzzo, Lorenzo Gagliardi, Marco Fontanelli, Michele Raffaelli

“…Multibody and a Finite Element (FE) models were developed to investigate the branch response and the olive detachment condition. The stresses predicted by the FE harmonic analysis (about 8 MPa), based on the excitation force and shaking frequency measured during the tests, was in line with the measured olive detachment forces (3 to 8 MPa). …”

Sports Orthopedics by Kibele A, Claußen L, Eckardt N

“…Our review shows that MRT: a) is safe for the older adult when properly introduced and supervised; b) requires smaller training loads and stresses larger articular areas while providing similar or larger gains in strength as traditional RT on stable surfaces; c) provides extended gains in functional mobility, balance, and power; d) offers a strengthening of stabilizer muscles whose strength loss is assumed to facilitate falls; e) stabilizes gait performance and, thus, reduces the risk of falls; f) improves cognitive performance reducing reductions the fear of falling and improves executive functions.Moreover, MRT was found to be particularly beneficial for Parkinsons disease patients. …”
