Body position affects performance in untrained cyclists.
OBJECTIVE To compare cardiovascular and ventilatory variables in upright versus aero cycle ergometry at submaximal and maximal exercise intensities in untrained cyclists. METHOD Ten physically active men (mean (SD) age 19.1 (1.10) years) who were unfamiliar with aerobars underwent maximal exercise testing and steady state cycling at 50, 100, and 150 W. RESULTS Participants had significantly...
متن کاملAltering body position affects intraocular pressure and visual function.
Intraocular pressure (IOP) can be altered by changing body position. This report describes two experiments evaluating variations in IOP, as well as neural functioning of the retina and visual cortex (as measured by pattern-reversal electroretinogram and visual evoked potential), associated with whole-body, head-down tilt. The subjects, ten per experiment, were visually normal with IOP less than...
متن کاملModeling performance of elite cyclists
Both coaches and cyclists nowadays determine the training schedules for important races based on experience and gut-feeling. Data are available for the evaluation of training schedules, but a sound scientific method of accomplishing this does not yet exist. The biggest hurdle in developing such a method for cycling is the absence of an objective performance metric. This report uses the data of ...
متن کاملIncreased body weight affects academic performance in university students
For K-12 students, obesity has been linked to student educational achievements. The study objective was to determine whether academic performance in university students is correlated with BMI. Students from two consecutive academic years (Jan-May 2013 and Jan-May 2014) were given an optional class survey in May, as extra credit. Of the 452 students that completed the survey, 204 females and 75 ...
متن کاملEffects of shoe cleat position on physiology and performance of competitive cyclists.
PURPOSE Aerobic economy is an important factor that affects the performance of competitive cyclists. It has been suggested that placing the foot more anteriorly on the bicycle pedals may improve economy over the traditional foot position by improving pedaling efficiency. The current study examines the effects of changing the anterior-posterior pedal foot position on the physiology and performan...
