F wave. In neuroscience, an F wave is the second of two voltage changes observed after electrical stimulation is applied to the skin surface above the distal region of a nerve. F waves are often used to measure nerve conduction velocity, and are particularly useful for evaluating conduction problems in the proximal region of nerves (i.e., portions of nerves near the spinal cord).
The success of the first permanent bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton track in KÃ¶nigssee, West Germany, completed in 1968 and first used for the world luge championships the following year, also played a factor. [7] [8] In 1969, it was decided to construct a permanent facility in Oberhof. [9]
Jousting was just one of a number of popular martial games in the Middle Ages referred to generically as hastiludes and took great skill to do. Though the first recorded tournament was staged in 1066, jousting itself did not gain in widespread popularity until the 12th century. [citation needed] It maintained its status as a popular European sport until the early 17th century. [2] Jousting was added to tournaments several centuries after their inauguration.
