From the Goncourt Prize–winning author of And Their Children After Them, a devilishly smart noir novella that finds uncomfortable truths in the everyday about romance, violence, and women’s desire and desirability.Nearing fifty, with a divorce and a string of other failed relationships behind her, Rose has given up on the idea of love, if not sex—though that always comes with risks. Determined not to let another man hurt her, she even ordered a .38 caliber handgun after an argument with her latest boyfriend almost turned violent. Now she carries it everywhere, just in case. As if on autopilot, Rose spends her days at work and then at the Royal, a familiar haunt where she knocks back one drink after another, sometimes with her best friend Marie-Jeanne. And then a sudden accident brings Luc into the bar, and Rose decides to give love one last chance.
The first novel by Goncourt-winning Nicolas Mathieu: a literary crime novel about class, poverty and the criminal underworld.
The voice of a generation: an immersive, nostalgic novel recalling the long, sultry summers of the 1990s from a hot new talent and the winner of the Goncourt Prize
Le trend actuel veut que l'on utilise les vibrations appliquées à l'ensemble du corps (Whole body vibration) pour, entre autre, augmenter la force musculaire. C'est de ce point précis que traite cet ouvrage. Le but est d'analyser les éventuelles augmentations de force en fonction des multiples protocoles utilisés, des différents paramétrages proposés. Il est en effet possible de régler la fréquence et l'amplitude de la vibration ainsi que la durée d'exposition. L'analyse s'effectue sur la base d'études randomisées contrôlées (RCTs), répondant à un certain nombre de critères de sélection. Cette revue de la littérature montre qu'il est possible d'obtenir un gain de force musculaire des extenseurs du genou dans des proportions variables. Il semble toutefois ressortir de ces chiffres que la combinaison d'une haute fréquence et d'une faible amplitude amène à de meilleurs résultats.
