Acute intense fatigue does not modify the effect of EVA and TPU custom foot orthoses on running mechanics, running economy and perceived comfort by Ken Van Alsenoy (14150559)

“…Flight time shortened (P = 0.026), peak braking (P = 0.016) and push-off (P = 0.032) forces decreased and vertical stiffness increased (P = 0.014) from before to after the repeated-sprint exercise, independent of footwear condition. …”

Brain microstructural changes support cognitive deficits in HIV uninfected children born to HIV infected mothers by Yadav, Santosh K.

“…Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) data was used to generate fractional anisotropy (FA) and mean diffusivity (MD) maps. Voxel wise comparison for FA and MD was performed between three groups using an analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) including age and sex as covariates, and correction for multiple comparisons (false discovery rate (FDR), p ​< ​0.05 with minimum extended cluster size, 150 voxels). …”
