چکیده
Catherine Shin1,2, Alexander P. Willmott1, David R. Mullineaux1 & Paul Worsfold2 1University of Lincoln, Lincoln, UK, 2English Institute of Sport, UK In water sports, where accurate biomechanical measurement in situ is difficult, ergometers are frequently used to test athletes. Many kayak ergometer designs involve a bungee to assist in returning the athlete/paddle to the correct position for the next stroke. The study’s aim was to investigate the effect of bungee tension on the ergometermeasured maximal power-velocity profile of three experienced male kayak athletes. Bungee tension influenced the power-velocity profile, reducing peak power measured by up to 328.4 W from optimal to least optimal tension. Athlete’s anecdotally preferred feel tensions may be optimal, thus these tensions should be considered in investigating power-related factors.

Effect of Kayak Ergometer Elastic Tension on Upper Limb EMG Activity and 3D Kinematics.
Despite the prevalence of shoulder injury in kayakers, limited published research examining associated upper limb kinematics and recruitment patterns exists. Altered muscle recruitment patterns on-ergometer vs. on-water kayaking were recently reported, however, mechanisms underlying changes remain to be elucidated. The current study assessed the effect of ergometer recoil tension on upper limb ...
