Energy balance during two days of continuous stationary cycling

Energy balance during two days of continuous stationary cycling

This study examined the capabilities of an ultraendurance athlete to self-regulate their diet during an attempt on the record for the longest period of stationary cycling. The attempt required the athlete to complete at least 20 km/hr, with a 15 minute break allowed every eight hours. Laboratory tests determined a heart rate-oxygen consumption regression equation enabling calculation of energy ...

Effects of stationary cycling exercise on the balance and gait abilities of chronic stroke patients

[Purpose] The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of stationary cycling exercise on the balance and gait abilities of chronic stroke patients. [Subjects] Thirty-two chronic stroke patients were randomly assigned to an experimental group (n=16) or a control group (n=16). [Methods] All of the subjects received the standard rehabilitation program for 30 minutes, while the experi...

Managing Energy Balance During the Transition Period

The period immediately prior to and following calving, is associated with extensive biological and logistical adaptations. During this time frame, cows and heifers must adjust to the physical and biological transition from pregnancy to lactation as well as environmental changes such as new rations (ingredient and energy density alterations) and pen relocation. In addition, cows in this transiti...

Stationary Structures in Two-Dimensional Continuous Heisenberg Ferromagnetic Spin System

Stationary structures in a classical isotropic two-dimensional continuous Heisenberg ferromagnetic spin system are studied in the framework of the (2 + 1)-dimensional Landau–Lifshitz model. It is established that in the case of ~ S(~r, t) = ~ S(~r − ~vt) the Landau–Lifshitz equation is closely related to the Ablowitz–Ladik hierarchy. This relation is used to obtain soliton structures, which are...
