English

Subject field(s)
  • Physical Fitness Training and Bodybuilding
CONT

Knee dips. Stand in front of a mirror on one leg. Point your foot on the supporting leg straightforward. Square up your hips and shoulders to the mirror so you are facing the mirror directly. Look at your kneecap and make sure it is pointed straightforward to the mirror. Avoid leaning into one hip. Imagine you’ve got a string attached to the top of your head and it's pulling your body straight up so your posture is perfect... Slowly lower your body weight down and up only a few inches. Your primary focus during this exercise is to ensure your kneecap doesn’t collapse in towards the midline of your body... You can intensify this exercise by holding free weights or by standing on a step and bending deeper toward the ground.

Pliés des genoux. Tenez-vous debout devant un miroir, sur une jambe. Pointez votre pied libre directement vers la jambe au sol.

Évitez de vous reposer sur une seule hanche. Imaginez que vous avez une corde attachée sur le sommet de la tête et qu'elle tire votre corps vers le haut pour une posture parfaite [...] Pliez et dépliez lentement le genou, pour que votre corps descende et monte de quelques pouces seulement. Vous devez avant tout veiller à pointer votre genou directement vers l'avant pendant toute la durée de l'exercice et à ce que celui-ci ne tourne pas vers l'extérieur [...] Vous pouvez intensifier cet exercice en tenant des haltères ou en vous plaçant sur une marche et en descendant plus bas.

Record 4 2002-02-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Psychology (General)
DEF

Segregation in perception refers to grouping together the parts of objects and distinguishing different objects. Our perceptual apparatus segregates sensory input in so effortless a fashion that it hardly seems that segregation is a task that must be actively performed. Consider, though, the visual information provided when we look at a person sitting in a chair. We readily group together the areas of the visual image that belong to the person and those that belong to the chair. We do not, for instance, mistakenly group together the person's left leg with the legs of the chair.
