Outcome measures
Primary outcome
The difference in total power output, in percentage, between the regular cycling test and the combined arm- and leg cycling test will be the primary outcome of this study.
Secondary outcome
Secondary outcomes are differences in cycling efficiency, heart rate, muscle activity, oxygen uptake and rated perceived exertion.
Study objective
The primary objective of this study is to determine whether adding arm-propulsion to regular cycling, increases the total power output (arms and legs).
The secondary objectives of this study are to determine differences in cycling efficiency (Work (Joule)/millilitre O2), heart rate, muscle activation, VO2, and rated perceived exertion (RPE) between regular cycling and combined arm- and leg cycling.
Study design
After approval by MEC, inclusion will start. For each subject the trial will last approximately two weeks.
Intervention
The intervention in this study is cycling with additional arm propulsion. The control intervention is regular cycling, with only leg propulsion.
