Influence of ascent speed on rock climbing economy

Sport Sciences for Health, 2012
In some types of human and animal locomotion, speed influences the amount of metabolic energy expended per unit mass and distance (energy cost, EC) and as speed decreases or increases away from a healthy person’s self-selected speed (SSS), the EC increases.

Continuous High-Speed Climbing Control and Leg Mechanism for an Eight-Legged Stair-Climbing Vehicle

2009 IEEE/ASME International Conference on Advanced Intelligent Mechatronics, 2009
This paper proposes a control algorithm for continuous high-speed stair climbing for an eight-legged stair-climbing vehicle, and discusses a new leg mechanism to implement this control. The control algorithm was first simulated to verify its effectiveness, and then implemented with a vehicle prototype, which continuously climbed a set of steps at ...

SPEED21: Speed Climbing Motion Dataset

Proceedings of the 4th International Workshop on Multimedia Content Analysis in Sports, 2021
With the recent advances in computer vision and deep learning, the research interest in video-based and skeleton-based sports analysis is growing. Also, speed climbing as a sport is on the rise, being included as an Olympic sport in Tokyo 2020. This work aims to connect both of these worlds.

Functional Predictors of Stair-Climbing Speed in Older Adults

Journal of Geriatric Physical Therapy, 2014
Falls on stairs are a common cause of injury and death among older adults. Although stair climbing is a component of some instruments that assess activities of daily living, normal speeds for safe stairway ambulation have not been established. Furthermore, little is known about which components of functional mobility are most highly associated with ...

Multi-sensor, high speed autonomous stair climbing

IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and System, 2003
Small, tracked mobile robots designed for general urban mobility have been developed for the purpose of reconnaissance and/or search and rescue missions in buildings and cities. Autonomous stair climbing is a significant capability required for many of these missions. In this paper we present the design and implementation of a new set of estimation and

Reliability of stair-climbing speed in two cohorts of older adults

International Journal of Therapy and Rehabilitation, 2021
Background/Aims The ability to climb stairs is an important prerequisite for activities of daily living and social participation in older adults, and is therefore an important part of rehabilitation. However, there is no consensus on how to measure stair-climbing ability.
