Lower limb influence on standing arm-cranking ('grinding').

15 Sep 2009 Standing arm-cranking ('grinding') is predominantly an upper-body exercise, however, the contribution of the legs to this activity is unknown. The purpose of the study was to examine the influence of normal lower-limb movement on physiological ... Read more...

Effects of strength training on work capacity and parasympathetic heart rate modulation during exercise in physically inactive men.

12 Aug 2009 This study was designed to assess the effects of strength training on work capacity and parasympathetic heart rate modulation during exercise in physically inactive men. Seventy-four men aged 20-45 were randomly assigned to training (n=52) and ... Read more...

An analytical model for the ergometer rowing: inverse multibody dynamics analysis.

30 Jul 2009 A model for the ergometer rowing exercise is presented in this paper. From the quantitative observations of a particular trajectory (motion), the model is used to determine the moment of the forces produced by the muscles about each joint. These ... Read more...
