PURPOSE There is no common theory on criteria to appropriately select crew rowers in pursuit of small performance gains. The purpose of this study was to establish whether anthropometry, rowing ergometry, or lower body strength were suitable criteria to identify differences between selected and nonselected sculling crews. METHOD Twelve elite women performed a 2000-m ergometer time trial and a...

The purpose of this study was to compare the ventilatory threshold (VT) between treadmill walking against a horizontal impeding force (horizontal load walking) and a cycle ergometer exercise. Seven adult men volunteered to participate in this study. They performed horizontal load walking (velocity: 1.11 m/s) and a cycle ergometer exercise (pedaling frequency: 60 rpm), with loads imposed using a...

This study aimed to investigate the effect of RMT on ventilatory parameters, aerobic fitness and rowing ergometer performance among professional rowers in Sri Lanka. Twenty national male rowers, aged 20-35 years were grouped randomly into an experimental (n=11) a control (n=9) group. Prior study, baseline measurements functions, (VO2max) assessed by portable spirometer, 2000m 5000m Monark cycle...

Prediction models of the oxygen uptake (VO2) from electromyograms (EMG) lower limb and respiratory muscles during an incremental exercise test were examined. Healthy male adults (n=15) underwent using a cycle ergometer. To predict patterns VO2, we used type recurrent neural network, long short-term memory. The measured VO2 as training data for deep learning, two prediction input values set: mus...

Cycling on an ergometer is an effective exercise for improving fitness. However, people with back problems or previous spinal surgery are often not aware of whether cycling could be harmful for them. To date, little information exists about spinal loads during cycling. A telemeterized vertebral body replacement allows in vivo measurement of implant loads during the activities of daily living. F...
