Purpose: To determine the prototype pedal's effect on efficiency and power output when compared to a traditional pedal. Methods: Forty cyclists, aged 37.03 years, completed a 15-minute efficiency ride and 30 second Wingate power test on the prototype pedal and traditional bicycle pedal. Efficiency was calculated from a 15-minute ride at a set workload of 150W for females and 175W for males. The subjects rode at a cadence of their choice that represented their training speed. Heart rates were continually monitored during the ride and exercise post oxygen consumption (EPOC) was measured during the 10 minutes of recovery. Energy expenditure …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to assess cardiovascular responses in young males when exposed to three (-10 mmHg, -20 mmHg and -40 mmHg) lower body negative pressures (LBNP). Methods: The study was limited to 20 healthy, young adult males, ages 18 - 35 years. The protocol involved five, 10 minute phases all at supine rest, 1) LBNP, 0 mmHg 2) LBNP, -10 mmHg 3) LBNP, -20 mmHg 4) LBNP, -40 mmHg 5) Recovery 0 mmHg. Blood pressure was taken every 3 minutes and EKG was taken every 2 minutes. Cardiac Output, Stroke Volume and heart rate were continuously …
