Today Katie and Stuart have a lovely guest from the United States named Heidi van Mastrigt, who is a fitness trainer that focuses massively on foot function and myofascial tissue function as well. The feet are our one point of contact with the ground. Everything starts with the feet. Heidi learned this the hard way from breaking her foot at the peak of her dance career and suffering for years with overuse injuries without realizing her foot was the root cause. Heidi works with athletes of all levels that want to improve their movement integrity and prevent injury in the long run. It is her goal for people to have longevity in their sport and do what they love for as long as possible.How Heidi got to her fascination with feet 3:15The shoes are very important 8:15Assessing clients' feet 14:15Feet, the nervous system, and fitness 23:00Cycling shoes are terrible 29:25The shoes that Heidi wears 36:40High arches 48:00“A lot of people who have worn shoes their entire lives, are introduced to this, ‘Train barefoot!' it's better, you're going to stimulate the muscles, even like up the chain, your glutes are going to fire a lot better if you don't have socks and shoes on, and to see the light bulbs go off and see people then prefer, like ‘Oh my gosh!' It's like a whole new world for so many people because they've just kinda been locked up in socks and cushioned heeled tapered toed shoes.” 25:55www.thatbarefootcoach.com@thatbarefootcoach

This variability can be seen as a constraint to overcome, but it may also be a feature: being variable may result in the discovery of better movement solutions. Especially when feedback is limited to binary information on movement success or failure, variability is key for discovering which movements lead to success. Since moving faster increases variability, we aimed to answer the question whether movement speed can be harnessed to improve such reward-based motor learning. Subjects performed a stepping task in a slow and a fast session. They had to learn the gain between their step lengths and visual target distances on screen based on binary reward feedback. We successfully manipulated movement speed between sessions and participants could learn the gain in both. We found no difference in learning between speed sessions, despite the fact that variability in gain increased in the fast relative to the slow session. To distinguish between different sources of variability, we estimated inevitable motor noise from the variability following successful trials. We estimated exploration as the additional variability following non-successful trials relative to following successful trials. We found no relation between variability sources and learning. In conclusion, reward-based motor learning is possible in a gain-learning task. In this task, moving faster did not lead to higher learning. Since the role of variability may differ between experimental tasks, whether movement speed can be harnessed to improve motor learning needs to be tested in other experimental tasks.

Link to bioRxiv paper: http://biorxiv.org/cgi/content/short/2023.06.27.546738v1?rss=1 Authors: van Mastrigt, N. M., Tsay, J. S., Wang, T., Avraham, G., Abram, S. J., van der Kooij, K., Smeets, J., Ivry, R. B. Abstract: Binary feedback, providing information solely about task success or failure, can be sufficient to drive motor learning. While binary feedback can induce explicit adjustments in movement strategy, it remains unclear if this type of feedback also induce implicit learning. We examined this question in a center-out reaching task by gradually moving an invisible reward zone away from a visual target to a final rotation of 7.5 or 25 degrees in a between-group design. Participants received binary feedback, indicating if the movement intersected the reward zone. By the end of the training, both groups modified their reach angle by about 95% of the rotation. We quantified implicit learning by measuring performance in a subsequent no-feedback aftereffect phase, in which participants were told to forgo any adopted movement strategies and reach directly to the visual target. The results showed a small, but robust (2-3 degrees) aftereffect in both groups, highlighting that binary feedback elicits implicit learning. Notably, for both groups, reaches to two flanking generalization targets were biased in the same direction as the aftereffect. This pattern is at odds with the hypothesis that implicit learning is a form of use-dependent learning. Rather, the results suggest that binary feedback can be sufficient to recalibrate a sensorimotor map. Copy rights belong to original authors.

This week's episode looks at paywall strategies for publishers in 2023 and is sponored by AdvantageCS.In a tough market, paywalls, podcasts and newsletters have been identified as strong areas to find new revenue this year.We spoke to Philippe van Mastrigt, director of European operations for one of the longest-established subscription technology companies in the world AdvantageCS, and Katia Debusschere, manager of acquisition and retention at Mediahuis Belgium. They talked to Press Gazette about how news publishers globally are protecting and growing online news subscriptions, what's working and what isn't. Hosted on Acast.

Kunst in het Volkspark barst komend zondag weer in alle hevigheid los. Het festival in Enschede trekt jaarlijks zo'n 25.000 bezoekers en is daarmee het grootste kunstevenement van Twente. Bijzonder dit jaar is het nieuwe ‘Kunstdorp', waarin de belangrijkste culturele instellingen van de stad laten zien wat ze te bieden hebben. En er doet een recordaantal kunstenaars mee: bijna 200 amateurs en professionals zullen hun werk tonen. Eén van hen is fotograaf Hubert van Mastrigt uit Almelo. Hij was erbij vanaf het eerste uur: in 1996 deed hij mee aan de allereerste editie. Sterker nog: hij won. En hij bleef, want tot nu toe is hij er nog elk jaar bij geweest.
