Delta efficiencies of running and cycling

Article Abstract:

Research presents a comparison of two different types of locomotion, running and cycling, focusing on the energy expenditure, mechanical power, and delta efficiency associated with each type of exercise. While research does not give a clear indication as to the cause of the difference in delta efficiency between the two movements, metabolic intensity and the way of loading are excluded as potential causes.

Oxygen uptake in one-legged and two-legged exercise

Article Abstract:

The difference between peak oxygen uptake in one-legged and two-legged exercise is due to differences in force application, postural component, and inhibited circulatory response. This research assumed that peak oxygen uptake does not increase in proportion to the muscle mass exercised before the cardiac capacity has reached its highest limit.

Physical performance during rehabilitation in persons with spinal cord injuries

Article Abstract:

An examination of rehabilitation's effect on physical capacity and performance of standardized activities of daily (ADL) living in those with spinal cord injuries showed considerably improved physical capacity and concomitant lower performance time during standardized ADL. The results suggest improvement in wheelchair propulsion technique.
