A Novel Approach to the Determination of Time- and Fatigue-Dependent Efficiency during Maximal Cycling Sprints

open access: yesSports, 2023
Background: During maximal cycling sprints, efficiency (η) is determined by the fiber composition of the muscles activated and cadence-dependent power output.

Quadriceps and Patellar Tendon Thickness and Stiffness in Elite Track Cyclists: An Ultrasonographic and Myotonometric Evaluation

open access: yesFrontiers in Physiology, 2020
Track cyclists are required to perform short- and long-term efforts during sprint and endurance race events, respectively. The 200 m flying sprint races require maximal power output and anaerobic capacity, while the 4,000 m pursuit cyclists demand a high

An Ultra-Low Power Wireless Sensor Network for Bicycle Torque Performance Measurements

open access: yesSensors, 2015
In this paper, we propose an energy-efficient transmission technique known as the sleep/wake algorithm for a bicycle torque sensor node. This paper aims to highlight the trade-off between energy efficiency and the communication range between the cyclist ...

The influence of training status, age, and muscle fiber type on cycling efficiency and endurance performance. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of age, training status, and muscle fiber-type distribution on cycling efficiency. Forty men were recruited into one of four groups: young and old trained cyclists, and young and old untrained ...

Knowledge of and attitudes towards concussion in cycling: A preliminary study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The aim of this study was to investigate the knowledge of and attitudes towards concussion in cycling. An abbreviated Rosenbaum Concussion Knowledge and attitudes Survey (RoCKAS) was distributed online via social media and completed by 1990 respondents ...

CardiO Cycle: a pilot feasibility study of in-bed cycling in critically ill patients post cardiac surgery

open access: yesPilot and Feasibility Studies, 2021
Background In-bed cycling is a novel modality for the initiation of early mobilization in the intensive care unit. No study has investigated its use in the critically ill, off-track post cardiac surgery population.

Meme-tracking and the dynamics of the news cycle [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the 15th ACM SIGKDD international conference on Knowledge discovery and data mining, 2009
Tracking new topics, ideas, and "memes" across the Web has been an issue of considerable interest. Recent work has developed methods for tracking topic shifts over long time scales, as well as abrupt spikes in the appearance of particular named entities. However, these approaches are less well suited to the identification of content that spreads widely

Cycling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
The purpose of this article was to establish whether previously reported oxygen-to-mass ratios, used to predict flat and hill-climbing cycling performance, extend to similar power-to-mass ratios incorporating other, often quick and convenient measures of
