All NMU Master's Theses
The aim of this study was to quantify, describe, and compare the exercise intensity and performance aspects of riding a fat bike, in a time trial (TT) format, on a natural earthen trail (ET) vs. on a groomed snow trail (ST). Eleven subjects, nine males and two females, participated in this two part study. Heart rate (HR) was used to quantify exercise intensity, examining average heart rate (HRavg), and peak heart rate (HRpeak). In addition, a global positioning system (GPS) watch was used to assess time to complete the trail, average speed (speedavg), and …
