Determinants of performance and mechanical efficiency of effort have been made on a group of ten male nordic skiers, all participants in the University of Toronto ski-team. The oxygen intake at the maximum attainable speed of skiing on a level course averaged 89.6 percent of the maximum oxygen intake observed during uphill treadmill running; the latter (average 63.9 ml.kg-1 min-1) may be compar...
We thank Dr. Ortega for the opportunity to debate the concept that aging affects exercise efficiency. From the outset we must acknowledge that, indeed, some studies report an age-related reduction task efficiency during walking and other rather complex tasks (2, 12, 20, 21). However, in contrast, our recent study of leg cycling in centenarians (28), as well as other work focused more specifical...
The instantaneous energy levels of body segments are computed from kinematic measurements on a level treadmill at various speeds with freely chosen step rates and a constant speed with different imposed step rates. The changes in the energy levels of segments are combined to compute the average work rate required to accelerate the total body (positive internal work). This work is compared to to...
This paper presents a hydraulic hybrid vehicle drive train to improve the fuel efficiency of a passenger car. The developed hydro-mechanical drive train enables independent control of the torque at each wheel. The motivation for developing this drive train is a hydraulic hybrid vehicle test bed for the Center for Compact and Efficient Fluid Power at the University of Minnesota. The hydro-mechan...
Experiments have been performed to assess the efficiency of mechanical mixers in destratifying water bodies. The effects of Reynolds number, physical scale, and Richardson number were all considered. The results demonstrated that the variation of mixing efficiency with Richardson number was well described by two different power-law regimes. At low Richardson numbers, the efficiency increased wi...
Objective(s):High-intensity interval training (HIIT) increases energy expenditure and mechanical energy efficiency. Although both uncoupling proteins (UCPs) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) affect the mechanical efficiency and antioxidant capacity, their effects are inverse. The aim of this study was to determine whether the alterations of cardiac UCP2, UCP3, and eNOS mRNA expressio...
This paper presents the design of a highly efficient pneumatic motor system. The air engine is currently the most generally used device to convert potential energy of compressed air into mechanical energy. However, the efficiency of the air engines is too low to provide sufficient operating range for the vehicle. In this study, the energy contained in compressed air/pressurized hydraulic oil is...
Abstract. Mechanical efficiency analysis is a fundamental phase in the design of Power Gear Trains (PGTs) transmissions. This paper presents a methodology for computing the mechanical efficiency of Epicyclic Gear Trains (EGTs). A novel feature of this methodology is the capability to take into account load dependent power losses and inertia effects. Finally, the paper describes an apparatus use...
Can human muscle be highly efficient in vivo? Animal muscles typically show contraction-coupling efficiencies <50% in vitro but a recent study reports that the human first dorsal interosseous (FDI) muscle of the hand has an efficiency value in vivo of 68%. We examine two key factors that could account for this apparently high efficiency value: (1) transfer of cross-bridge work into mechanical w...
