Primaire uitkomstmaten
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.
Doel van het onderzoek
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.
Onderzoeksopzet
After approval by MEC, inclusion will start. For each subject the trial will last approximately two weeks.
Onderzoeksproduct en/of interventie
The intervention in this study is cycling with additional arm propulsion. The control intervention is regular cycling, with only leg propulsion.
