Physiological response to the ambulatory performance of hand-rim and arm-crank propulsion systems.
Two types of propulsion systems-the hand rim (HR) and the arm crank (AC)-are commonly used in wheelchair ambulation. The purpose of this study was to investigate the physiological response of the two propulsion systems under actual locomotive condition by the actual users. The energetics of locomotion manual wheelchair (HR propulsion) and arm-propelled three-wheeled chairs (AC-propelled) at the...
متن کاملA short-term arm-crank exercise program improved testosterone deficiency in adults with chronic spinal cord injury.
PURPOSE To determine the influence of arm-crank exercise in reproductive hormone levels in adults with chronic SCI. Further objectives were to assess the influence of arm-crank exercise on muscle strength and body composition. MATERIALS AND METHODS Seventeen male adults with complete SCI at or below the 5th thoracic level (T5) volunteered for this study. Participants were randomly allocated t...
متن کاملNo effect of arm-crank exercise on diaphragmatic fatigue or ventilatory constraint in Paralympic athletes with cervical spinal cord injury.
Cervical spinal cord injury (CSCI) results in a decrease in the capacity of the lungs and chest wall for pressure, volume, and airflow generation. We asked whether such impairments might increase the potential for exercise-induced diaphragmatic fatigue and mechanical ventilatory constraint in this population. Seven Paralympic wheelchair rugby players (mean + or - SD peak oxygen uptake = 16.9 + ...
متن کاملLimb-specific and cross-transfer effects of arm-crank exercise training in patients with symptomatic peripheral arterial disease.
Arm cranking is a useful alternative exercise modality for improving walking performance in patients with intermittent claudication; however, the mechanisms of such an improvement are poorly understood. The main aim of the present study was to investigate the effects of arm-crank exercise training on lower-limb O2 delivery in patients with intermittent claudication. A total of 57 patients with ...
متن کاملInfluence of crank length and crank-axle height on standing arm-crank (grinding) power.
OBJECTIVE To determine the optimal crank length and crank-axle height for maximum power production during standing arm cranking ("grinding"). METHODS Nine elite professional America's Cup grinders (age = 36 +/- 2 yr, body mass = 104 +/- 1 kg, body fat = 13% +/- 2%) performed eight maximal 6-s sprints on an adjustable standing arm-crank ergometer fitted with an SRM power crank. The protocol in...
