STUDY AIMS: Wheelchair athletes may be at risk of urinary tract infections, especially those with spinal cord injury. A infection can lead to a loss training hours and reduced performance in athletes. We assessed the self-reported occurrence infections impact on elite wheelchair also evaluated prophylactic measures used, as reported by METHODS: Data were collected from September 2022 August 2023 an institute specialised examining All active international and/or national competitions who...
Pauli, CA, Keller, M, Ammann, F, Hübner, K, Lindorfer, J, Taylor, WR, and Lorenzetti, S. Kinematics kinetics of squats, drop jumps imitation ski jumpers. J Strength Cond Res 30(3): 643–652, 2016—Squats, jumps, are commonly used training exercises in jumping to enhance maximum force, explosive sport-specific skills. The purpose this study was evaluate the kinematics find objective parameters that most correlate with competition performance To end, barbell were measured a laboratory...
Introduction Eccentric strength training is a promising approach to improving upper body in athletes, as this type of has several advantages over that involves concentric or isometric muscle action (Hoppeler, 2016). shows greater gains and mass with lower cardiovascular metabolic demands (Douglas et al., 2017; Roig 2009). This, combined the time-efficient components, makes eccentric particularly attractive for use athletes spinal cord injury (SCI). Despite an increasing number studies...
As hill jumps are very time-consuming, ski jumping athletes often perform various imitation during training. The performed should be similar to jumps, but a direct comparison of the kinetic and kinematic parameters has not been yet. Therefore, this study aimed correlate 11 common (Oberstdorf Germany), squat (wearing indoor shoes), (rolling 4°, rolling flat, static; equipment or shoes) on custom-built instrumented vehicle with catch by coach. During force video data take-off 10 were measured....
Standardized laboratory exercise testing is common in sport settings and rehabilitation. The advantages of laboratory-based compared to field include the use calibrated equipment possibility keeping environmental conditions within narrow limits, making test results highly comparable reproducible. However, when using different (e.g., treadmills), might deviate impair comparability. aim this study was compare biomechanical properties (rolling resistance, speed, inclination) two treadmills...
Background
 Strength training plays an important role in a holistic approach, not only for athletes but also patients looking to (re)gain strength during rehabilitation. In the past few years, eccentric has received increased attention as this type of increases muscle more than conventional methods (Douglas et al., 2017). Since includes higher levels mechanical tension and leads greater exercise-induced damage compared concentric training, protocol should be implemented with caution...
