The purpose of this study was to analyze the muscle fatigue for lower limbs during the level and downhill running. The subjects were 6 males of twenties who have no experience to get the injury in the lower limbs and required to run on the level and downhill which was -7% grade treadmill at 8.3km/h. EMG signal was gained by ME3000P8 Measurement Unit and computed the Median Frequency(MF) with the power spectrum analysis in the Megawin software. Rectus femoris(RF), Vastus lateralis(VL), Gluteus medius(GLU), Biceps Femoris(BF), gastrocnemius medial head(GM), gastrocnemius lateral head(GL), Tibialis anterior(TA) were selected. The result of this study were as follows: The MF of RF decreased in the downhill running than level running in length of time but, the MF of VL was opposite. The MF of BF decreased in the level and downhill running, but, the MF of BF decreased much in the level than downhill running. The MF of GLU decreased much in the downhill running but, almost no change in the level running. The MF of TA decreased in the level running than downhill running. The MF of GL decreased in the level running but, the MF of GM decreased in the downhill running in length of time. This study analyzed the muscle fatigue of the lower limbs with the median frequency on the basis of an assumption that the impact force for the flexion and extension of the joint and the body mass may be much in the eccentric contraction such as the downhill running than level running. RF and GM showed the muscle fatigue in the downhill running than level running. BF and GL showed the muscle fatigue in the level running than downhill running.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine the interrelationship between ranges of motion of the knee and ankle joints on the sagittal plane and the attenuation magnitude of impact shock at high frequency (9~20 Hz) in the support phase during downhill running. Method: Fifteen male heel-toe runners with no history of lower extremity injuries were recruited for this study (age, $25.07{\pm}5.35years$; height, $175.4{\pm}4.6cm$; mass, $75.8{\pm}.70kg$). Two uniaxial accelerometers were mounted to the tuberosity of tibia and sacrum, respectively, to measure acceleration signals. The participants were asked to run at their preferred running speed on a treadmill set at $0^{\circ}$, $7^{\circ}$, and $15^{\circ}$ downhill. Six optical cameras were placed around the treadmill to capture the coordinates of the joints of the lower extremities. The power spectrum densities of the two acceleration signals were analyzed and used in the transfer function describing the gain and attenuation of impact shock between the tibia and the sacrum. Angles of the knee and ankle joints on the sagittal plane and their angle ranges were calculated. The Pearson correlation coefficient was used to test the relationship between two variables, the magnitude of impact shock, and the range of joint angle under three downhill conditions. The alpha level was set at .05. Results: Close correlations were observed between the knee joint range of motion and the attenuation magnitude of impact shock regardless of running slopes (p<.05), and positive correlations were found between the ranges of motion of the knee and ankle joints and the attenuation magnitude of impact shock in $15^{\circ}$ downhill running (p<.05). Conclusion: In conclusion, increased knee flexion might be required to attenuate impact shock during downhill and level running through change in stride or cadence while maintaining stability, and strong and flexible ankle joints are also needed in steeper downhill running.

The purpose of this study was to characterize the impact shock wave and its attenuation, and the kinematic response of the lower extremity's joints to the impact shock during downhill running in which the lower extremity's extensor acts dominantly. For this study, fifteen subjects(mean age:$27.08{\pm}4.39$; mass:$76.30{\pm}6.60$; height:$177.25{\pm}4.11$) were required to run on the 0% grade treadmill and downhill grades of 7%, and 15% in random at speed of their preference. When the participant run, acceleration at the tibia and the sacrum and kinematic data of the lower extremity were collected for 20s so as to provide at least 5 strides for analysis at each grade. Peak impact accelerations were used to calculate shock attenuation between the tibia and sacrum in time domain at each grade. Fast Fourier transformation(FFT) and power spectral density(PSD) techniques were used to analyze impact shock factors and its attenuation in the frequency domain. Joint coordinate system technique was used to compute angular displacement of the ankle and knee joint in three dimension. The conclusions were drawn as fellows: 1. Peak impact accelerations of the tibia and sacrum in downhill run were greater than that of 0% grade run, but no significant between conditions. Peak shock of PSD resembled also in pattern of peak impact acceleration. The wave of impact shock attenuation between the tibia and sacrum decreased with increasing grade, but didn't find a significant difference between grade conditions. 2. Adduction/abduction, flexion/extention, and internal/external rotation of the ankle and knee joints at support phase between grade conditions didn't make much difference. 3. At grade of 7% and 15%, there were relationship between the knee of the flexion/extension movement and peak impact acceleration during heel strike and found also it in the ankle of plantar/dorsiflexion at grade of 15%.

본 연구는 내리막 달리기(downhill running, DR) 후 초음파 영상분석을 이용해 대퇴사두근 무리(quadriceps group, QG) 내 근손상의 국소화 여부를 검증하고, DR 동안 운동 강도가 운동유발성 근손상(exercise-induced muscle damage, EIMD) 및 근육 반향세기 변화에 미치는 영향을 규명하려는 목적으로 수행되었다. 규칙적인 신체활동이 없는 건강한 남성 11명이 무작위 교차설계에 따라 서로 다른 강도[low-intensity DR session($50%HR_{max}$), LDR; high-intensity DR session($70%HR_{max}$), HDR]의 DR 운동을 수행하였다. DR 후 EIMD의 심각성은 혈청크레아틴 키나아제(creatine kinase, CK) 활성 수준 변화와 함께 신경근 기능 지수로서 무릎 신전근의 최대 수의적 등척성 수축(maximal voluntary isometric contraction, MVIC) 및 관절가동범위(range of motion, ROM) 변화를 통해 결정되었다. 회색조 분석을 적용한 근육 반향세기 평가는 DR에 따른 QG 내 국소 근육별(rectus femoris, RF; vastus lateralis, VL; vastus medialis, VM; vastus intermedius, VI) 손상 양상을 탐지하기 위해 활용되었다. 모든 세션에서 혈청 CK 활성 수준과 VL 및 VM의 근통증 정도는 운동 후 24시간째(RF의 경우 각각 LDR 24시간째와 HDR 48시간째) 최대에 이르렀으며, 혈청 CK 수준에서 운동 강도에 따른 유의한 차이(p<.05)가 나타난 반면 근통증에서 세션 간 통계적 차이는 없었다. 무릎 관절을 이용한 MVIC 및 ROM과 같은 신경근 기능 지표 및 VM을 제외한 모든 QG 근육 반향세기는 운동 직후 극적으로 감소 또는 증가 후 72시간까지 점진적 회복 양상을 나타내었다. 그러나 신경근 기능 지표에서 운동 강도에 따른 통계적 차이는 없었으나 RF 및 VL 반향세기에서 세션 내 및 세션 간 유의한 차이(p<.01)를 나타내었다. 본 연구의 결과로 ECC를 함유한 DR 운동 시 운동 강도는 DOMS 및 신경근 기능 지표에 부분적으로 영향을 미칠 가능성이 있으며, 특히 혈청 CK 수준과 함께 RF 및 VL의 근육 반향세기는 운동 강도의 영향을 직접적으로 반영한다는 사실을 알 수 있다. 또한, 현재 연구결과는 DR 동안 ECC를 겪는 QG 내 국소 근육 간 근손상 정도가 다를 수 있으며 초음파 근육 반향세기가 국소 근육의 EIMD 심각성을 차별화할 수 있는 유용한 평가기법임을 뒷받침하고 있다.

The electric power, regenerated while railway vehicles braking or running downhill, makes U line voltage rise and the feeding system may not be secure. In order to keep away from these kind of insecurity, the regenerative energy should be consumed by loads or transmitted to the AC side via certain devices such as DC/AC converters. This paper introduces the developed regenerative inverter for electric railway.

최근 스마트 폰에 다양한 센서를 내장할 수 있게 되었고 스마트폰에 내장된 센서를 이용항 동작 인지에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 스마트폰을 이용한 동작 인지는 노인 복지 지원이나 운동량 측정. 생활 패턴 분석, 운동 패턴 분석 등 다양한 분야에 활용될 수 있다. 하지만 스마트 폰에 내장된 센서를 이용하여 동작 인지를 하는 방법은 사용되는 센서의 수에 따라 단일 센서를 이용한 동작인지와 다중 센서를 이용한 동작인지로 나눌 수 있다. 단일 센서를 이용하는 경우 대부분 가속도 센서를 이용하기 때문에 배터리 부담은 줄지만 다양한 동작을 인지할 때에 특징(feature) 추출의 어려움과 동작 인지 정확도가 낮다는 문제점이 있다. 그리고 다중 센서를 이용하는 경우 대부분 가속도 센서와 중력센서를 사용하고 필요에 따라 다른 센서를 추가하여 동작인지를 수행하며 다양한 동작을 보다 높은 정확도로 인지할 수 있지만 다수의 센서를 사용하기 때문에 배터리 부담이 증가한다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 스마트 폰에 내장된 가속도 센서를 이용하여 다양한 동작을 높은 정확도로 인지하는 방법을 제안한다. 서로 다른 10가지의 동작을 높을 정확도로 인지하기 위해 원시 데이터로부터 17가지 특징을 추출하고 각 동작을 분류하기 위해 Ensemble of Nested Dichotomies 분류기를 사용하였다. Ensemble of Nested Dichotomies 분류기는 다중 클래스 문제를 다수의 이진 분류 문제로 변형하여 다중 클래스 문제를 해결하는 방법으로 서로 다른 Nested Dichotomy 분류기의 분류 결과를 통해 다중 클래스 문제를 해결하는 기법이다. Nested Dichotomy 분류기 학습에는 Random Forest 분류기를 사용하였다. 성능 평가를 위해 Decision Tree, k-Nearest Neighbors, Support Vector Machine과 비교 실험을 한 결과 Ensemble of Nested Dichotomies 분류기를 사용하여 동작 인지를 수행하는 것이 가장 높은 정확도를 보였다.
