This study was an attempt to analyze the basic analytical characteristics of octanal and nonanal compounds by TD and GC/FID system. The basic analysis (linearity, precision, MDL: method detection limit) showed similar results for VOCs in terms of QA/QC results with the same analysis system. Also, the results are sufficiently satisfy the QA/QC of the Korean odor analysis standard method. When using a polyester aluminum bag, the amount of loss was found to be about -2% to 7%. Adjusting the relative humidity and loss trend with the passage of time, the loss amount is found to be only a trace amount. With the exception of the styrene compound, all volatile organic compounds have a tendency to decrease slightly. Similar results were shown from Octanal and Nonanal. As a result, Octanal and Nonanal compound’s adsorption amount by the polyester aluminum bag was a quite small. The relative humidity and other compounds appear to be significantly unaffected by Octanal and Nonanal.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of hip extension velocity (7.5 degree/second, 30 degree/second) on the relative onset time of the gluteus maximus in relation to the hamstring during hip extension in prone position. Thirteen healthy male subjects (mean age=22.6 years [SD=1.8], mean weight=73.4 kg [SD=10.3], mean height=176.1 cm [SD=6.3]) voluntarily participated in this study. Electromyographic data was collected on the gluteus maximus and hamstring to determine onset time. Statistical analyses were performed with the paired t-test. The results showed that the onset time of the hamstring was significantly faster than that of the gluteus maximus in both fast and slow hip extension velocity. The gluteus maximus began contraction .079 seconds later following the contraction of the hamstring. The onset time of the hamstring was significantly faster in fast hip extension velocity compared with slow hip extension velocity. In conclusion, it was determined that the onset time of the gluteus maximus was faster with fast hip extension velocity compared with slow hip extension velocity. There was a statistically significant difference between the onset times of the gluteus maximus and hamstring in relation to the two velocities (p<.05). Further study is needed to examine whether the velocity of hip extension can influence the onset time in a similar fashion in patients with low back pain.
