A biomechanical analysis of handcycling: a case study.

Using SWAT Model to Investigate the Impact of Rangeland Management Practices on Water Conservation (Case Study: Gorganroud Watershed, Golestan, Iran)

Hydrological response of a watershed is a comprehensive symbol of environmental conditions and characteristics of the basin. Vegetation is one of the main factors in water resources status, erosion, and sediment of a watershed. Rangelands of Golestan province, Iran due to the geographical location, climate, and destruction of these resources as well as drastic land use changes from forests, and...

Handcycling: a biophysical analysis

Improvements in Cycling but Not Handcycling 10 km Time Trial Performance in Habitual Caffeine Users

Caffeine supplementation during whole-/lower-body exercise is well-researched, yet evidence of its effect during upper-body exercise is equivocal. The current study explored the effects of caffeine on cycling/handcycling 10 km time trial (TT) performance in habitual caffeine users. Eleven recreationally trained males (mean (SD) age 24 (4) years, body mass 85.1 (14.6) kg, cycling/handcycling pea...

آنالیز مؤلفه های اصلی متغیرهای آنتروپومتریکی و بیومکانیکی ورزشکاران کاراته کار نوجوان نخبه

Objective: Despite the importance of identifying people susceptible to sports, there is little documentation and studies related to karate talent identification.The purpose of this study was principal component analysis of anthropometric and biomechanical variables in adolescent elite karateka athletes. Methods: Subjects divided to adolescent elite karateka athletes (n = 19) and non-karateka a...

Impact of Watershed Management activities on flood hydrograph Using HEC-HMS Model (Case Study: Ramyan Watershed)

Increasing the use of water and soil resources in watershed in recent years and unproductive and inappropriate use of land ecology has exacerbated the occurrence of floods. In this context, watershed management is one of the most effective ways to cope with this crisis. This research quantify the results of these activities by calculating the decreased volume and discharge due to biomechanical ...
