This study evaluated methods for estimating peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) based on post-exercise measurements in swimming. 31 elite swimmers performed a supramaximal swimming test while wearing a snorkel and valve system to measure oxygen uptake. Several estimation methods were evaluated, including linear backward extrapolation and a new mathematical modeling procedure. Results showed some post-exercise methods predicted VO2peak accurately, while others over- or underestimated. The new modeling procedure based on post-exercise oxygen uptake and heart rate measurements provided the most valid VO2peak estimates with good accuracy compared to direct measurement. This avoids biases of other estimation methods.
Estimating submaximal and peak oxygen uptake based on postexercise measuremen...Diego Chaverri
This study evaluated methods for estimating submaximal and peak oxygen uptake (VO2) based on post-exercise measurements in swimming. Fourteen elite female swimmers performed submaximal and supramaximal swims while VO2 was measured. Linear backward extrapolation (BE) and a new mathematical modeling procedure were used to estimate VO2 from post-exercise data and compared to direct measurements. For supramaximal intensity, the modeling procedure predicted peak VO2 most accurately with a standard error of 1%. For submaximal intensity, all methods were less accurate with modeling showing the lowest standard error of 4.5%. The study concluded the modeling procedure provides the best estimation of VO2 from post-exercise data, especially for supramaximal
Chaverri, D., Iglesias, X., Barrero, A., Schuller, T., Štrumbel, B., Hoffmann, U., Rodríguez, F.A. (2013). VO2 Peak measured during 200 m is not different from that calculated with a new model after a 200-m maximal swim. 18th Annual Congress of the European College of Sport Science, INEFC Barcelona.

This document discusses various methods for measuring cyclist aerodynamics without using a wind tunnel. It describes taking photographs to measure frontal area, coast-down testing on hills or tracks to determine drag coefficients, and steady-speed power meter methods to differentiate aerodynamic drag and rolling resistance. It provides examples of using these field methods on cyclists and compares the results to wind tunnel data. Specifically, frontal area photography found a mean drag coefficient of 0.707, while coast-down and power meter regression analyses estimated drag values within 1% of wind tunnel tests.
The sudden changes in gravitational acceleration experienced on a rollercoaster cause an increase in riders' heart rates. Researchers measured the heart rates and g-forces on the Nitro rollercoaster at Six Flags. They found that heart rates increased after the ride when g-forces changed dramatically throughout, supporting the hypothesis. However, limitations in equipment and multiple rides being needed impacted the accuracy and strength of the results.

The document discusses the differences between distance and displacement, as well as speed and velocity. It defines each term, provides examples, and shows calculations of total distance, displacement, average speed and average velocity for sample problems. Distance is the total length travelled, regardless of direction, while displacement considers direction from start to finish. Speed is the rate of change of distance over time, while velocity is the rate of change of displacement over time, making it a vector quantity.
This summarizes a research study that analyzed pacing strategies during an ultramarathon running event over 173 km in hilly terrain. 15 runners carried GPS devices that tracked their speed on level, uphill, and downhill sections as a function of distance completed. The main findings were that speed decreased in all sections as the race progressed, with most speed loss occurring earlier on level sections compared to uphill and downhill sections. There were no significant correlations found between overall performance and measures of speed loss, speed variability, or total time stopped.

This document is a research paper that analyzes the biomechanics of javelin throwing technique. It describes a study that filmed 6 javelin throwers from Aligarh Muslim University in India using high-speed cameras. The study found a significant positive correlation between throwing distance and initial javelin velocity at release. It found insignificant correlations between distance and other release parameters like angle, height, etc. The results suggest throwers should achieve high acceleration during their run-up and carry the javelin at optimal angles to maximize distance.

Javelin throwing technique a biomechanical studyAlexander Decker
This study analyzed the biomechanics of the javelin throwing technique through high-speed video analysis of 6 athletes. The study found:
1) A significant positive correlation between throwing distance and initial javelin velocity at release.
2) Insignificant correlations between throwing distance and release angle, attitude angle, attack angle, and release height.
3) Positive significant correlations between throwing distance and approach run velocity, pull distance, and forward trunk rotation angle.
The results suggest the most important factor for distance is high initial velocity, which is influenced by fast approach, leg thrust, and optimal carry angle during the last strides.
This study examined how the choice of Cardan sequence affects 3D kinematic measurements of the lower extremities during cycling. The researchers found that the YXZ and ZXY sequences produced significantly greater peak angle and range of motion measurements in the sagittal, coronal, and transverse planes compared to other sequences. These sequences also exhibited the strongest correlations between the sagittal plane and other planes, indicating crosstalk. The researchers concluded that the XYZ sequence should continue to be used for cycling analysis to avoid inaccuracies from the YXZ and ZXY sequences.
This study tested the hypothesis that orthotic intervention would significantly alter the coronal and transverse plane kinematics of the lower extremities during cycling, with larger wedge inclinations having a greater influence. The study found that orthotic devices with varus wedge inclinations of 1.5mm, 3.0mm, and 4.5mm did not significantly influence the three-dimensional kinematics of the hip, knee, or ankle at any of the three tested cadences of 70, 90, and 110 RPM. Subjective ratings showed a clear preference for no orthotic over the varus wedge inclinations. This suggests that foot orthoses do not provide protection from skeletal malalignment issues associated with chronic cycling injuries.

This study examined the effectiveness of cross training methods for maintaining running kinematics. Video analysis was used to track the position of joints during elliptical and stationary bike use. Velocities were found to be lower than during running, with the elliptical producing more comparable velocities. While neither method fully approximated running, the elliptical was determined to be a more suitable cross training option for maintaining running specificity.
Modeling and Control of a Humanoid Robot Arm with Redundant Biarticular Muscl...toukaigi
This document describes research on modeling and controlling a humanoid robot arm actuated by biarticular muscles. Key points:
- A two-link robot arm model is developed based on the parameters of a human arm, with six muscles added as actuators, including two biarticular muscles.
- An adaptive control scheme is proposed to control the robot arm by distributing computed torque commands to the muscle forces. The scheme can tolerate modeling errors through online parameter adaptation.
- The control and adaptation methods were verified in a simulation of the arm performing bend-stretch movements. The adaptation scheme successfully identified changing arm parameters to compensate for them in real-time.
The document discusses the scientific basis and development of the Performance Manager concept for quantitatively relating an athlete's training load to their performance over time. It describes how most studies have used the impulse-response model or its variations to model this relationship mathematically. The Performance Manager was developed based on this model to help coaches and athletes determine optimal training loads, identify overreaching, plan tapers, and monitor performance changes. Examples are given of Performance Manager charts for an elite cyclist over different seasons.
This study assessed muscle damage in 11 trained ultra-endurance triathletes after completing a 3.8km swim, 180km cycle, and 42.2km run race. Blood samples analyzed before and 48 hours after found significant increases in the muscle protein markers fast myosin and slow myosin, indicating muscle damage, especially to slow muscle fibers. Dehydration was also observed as body mass and total body water decreased significantly after the race. The increase in slow myosin levels was correlated with greater decreases in total and intracellular body water, suggesting muscle damage is influenced by hydration status during ultra-endurance exercise.
The study investigated the effects of intermittent hypobaric hypoxia exposure (IHE) on aerobic capacity and running performance in triathletes. Fourteen triathletes were randomly assigned to either a hypoxia group (HYPO) or normoxia group (NORM). The HYPO group underwent IHE for 3 hours per day, 5 days per week for 4 weeks. Testing showed ventilatory thresholds increased significantly for HYPO but running performance did not change. While VO2max did not significantly increase, the results suggest IHE can improve aerobic fitness markers in triathletes.

This document discusses unit hydrographs and linear response methods for calculating catchment response to precipitation events. It provides definitions of key hydrologic terms like unit hydrograph, excess precipitation, and direct runoff hydrograph. Methods are presented for calculating unit hydrographs from watershed characteristics and rainfall-runoff data, as well as for developing hydrographs from unit hydrographs. Examples are included to demonstrate these hydrograph analysis techniques.
Cardiopulmonary exercise testing involves maximal or submaximal exercise tests to assess functional capacity and factors limiting performance. Key measurements include oxygen consumption (VO2), carbon dioxide production, ventilation, heart rate, blood lactate, and ratings of perceived exertion. VO2 max testing aims to elicit an individual's highest oxygen intake and is used to evaluate aerobic fitness and compare to standards. Estimating VO2 max from submaximal exercise data can also provide functional assessment when maximal testing is not possible.

This document describes two methods for calculating pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters from urinary excretion data: the sigma-minus method and the rate of excretion method. The sigma-minus method involves plotting the log of the amount remaining to be excreted versus time, which gives a line with a slope of -K/2.303 that can be used to calculate the elimination rate constant K. The rate of excretion method involves plotting the log of the rate of drug excretion versus time, which also gives a line with a slope of -K/2.303 that allows calculation of K. The document provides a detailed example using both methods to analyze urinary excretion data and calculate K for a drug.

This document summarizes a first-principles study of the electronic structure of Ce3+ centers in alkaline-earth fluorides including spin-orbit and scalar relativistic effects. The study used an embedded quantum cluster approach to model Ce3+ centers in CaF2 and SrF2 with and without interstitial fluorine ions. Calculations of 4f-5d optical transitions using CASPT2 and including spin-orbit coupling showed good agreement with experimental absorption spectra. Jahn-Teller relaxation was found to induce asymmetry in cubic Ce3+ centers, improving the match to measured spectra. The developed approach allows sophisticated quantum chemistry methods to be applied to defect systems in solids.

Flood Routing.ppt:flood routing and controlmulugeta48
Flood routing is the process of determining the reservoir stage, storage volume and of the outflow hydrograph corresponding to a known hydrograph of inflow into the reservoir.
For this, the capacity curve of the reservoir, i.e., ‘storage vs pool elevation’ and ‘outflow rate vs pool elevation’ , curves are required.
Storage volumes for different pool elevations are determined by planimetering the contour map of the reservoir site.
For example, the volume of water stored (V) between two successive contours having areas A1 and A2 (planimetered) and the contour interval d, is given by
Cone formula, V
Prismoidal formula,
Where Am = (A1+A2)/2, i.e., area midway between the two successive contours. The Prismoidal formula is more accurate.
The outflow rates are determined by computing the discharge through the sluices and the spillway discharge for different water surface elevations of the reservoir (i.e., pool elevations):
Discharge through sluices,
Discharge over spillway crest,
Outflow from the reservoir O = Qsl +Qsp
For routing the flood by the modified Puls method (storage indicator method), Table 3 , corresponding to the initial pool elevation of 110 m, O = 124 cumec, 2S/t + O = 4664 cumec and 2S/t – O = 4416 cumec are read off.
For this 2S/t – O = 4416 cumec, (I1 +I2) = 50 + 70 = 120 cumec is added to get the right hand side of eq (8), i.e., 2S/t + O = 4416 + 120 = 4536 cumec.
For this value of 2S/t + O, O = 123 cumec, and 2S/t – O = 4290 cumec are read off from the curves.
For O = 123 cumec, the pool elevation of 109.8 m is read off from the O vs pool elevation curve.
This study examined the relationship between cycling economy, measured as oxygen consumption (VO2), and simultaneous measurements of 3D kinematics and electromyography in trained cyclists. A multiple regression analysis showed that peak knee extension velocity and mean activity of the rectus femoris muscle were significant predictors of VO2 during steady state cycling. This was the first study to relate cycling economy to 3D kinematic and electromyography measurements, providing insight into optimizing biomechanical parameters to improve cycling performance.

Frontal motion analysis of the knee during a bicycle pedal revolution 2011Harry_Sowieja
The document summarizes a thesis defense that analyzed the frontal plane knee motion during bicycle pedaling at different seat heights and resistance levels. Key findings include:
1) The highest mean medial-lateral knee displacement (dK) occurred at the high seat height, not the low height as hypothesized.
2) Both dK and variation in dK (SDdK) were significantly greater at high resistance (200W) than low (100W).
3) The maximum medial-lateral knee displacement (dKmax) occurred at 200W resistance for all seat heights, supporting the third hypothesis.

Still, younger actors like De Bruyne’s Manchester City partner Jeremy Doku bring fresh vitality to the team. Euro Cup Germany Qualifying unbeaten with just four goals allowed from eight games was a welcome sign of accomplishment back on track under Tedesco.
The only other squad in Group E besides Belgium to UEFA Euro 2024 qualify unbeaten, Romania was awestruck by winning a group that also checked Switzerland and Israel. Still, Euro 2024 will test a squad sorely lacking in top-level skill.

Editor's Notes
Thank you mister chairman. Dear all, oxygen uptake is a key parameter on swimming performance
However, measuring oxygen uptake in swimming is a complex and cumbersome procedure. To main approaches have been used to collect respiratory air in swimming. Measurements during exercise, using a swimming snorkels and Post-exercise measurements using face masks.
The use of swimming snorkels might involve chances certain limitations in the measurements. The most important is changes in swimming performance, increasing the time needed to swim a distance. The second limitation is related with changes in the mechanical efficiency. Increasing the stroke rate and decreasing the stroke length. This changes are higher at high speeds. Specially in stroke length
Other limitations when the swimmers performed with the swimming snorkel, like changes in the respiratory pattern can be observed, where the swimmer increase the respiratory at the same time that the swimming distance increase. Moreover, the use of swimming snorkels do impossible the flip turns and subaquatic phase.
To overcome these limitations different procedures based on postexercise VO2 measurements were developed. The most commonly used was the backward extrapolation method. This method consist in the lineal backward extrapolation to time 0 of postexercise VO2 measurements. This method was described first by di Prampero in a submaximal exercise and posteriorly validate by leger and applied to swim by Montpetit. These studies were carried out using the Douglas bag technique.
Posteriorly Lavoie observed an overestimation near to 20% on the VO2peak estimated using the backward extrapolation technique after an 400-m all-out. This overestimation might be caused by the existents of a time delay at the onset of the VO2 recovery curve. This phenomenon was descried first by di Prampero and then confirmed by rodriguez using breath by breath measurements.
Our group developed a new model to estimate exercise VO2peak using post exercise VO2 values and Heart rate kinetics. This model relays on the Fick’s principle with two assumptions.
These assumptions consist in that systolic volume and arteriovenous difference remain constant during the first seconds of the recovery period.
As can be observed in the figure the Vo2 estimated by the new procedure (in red dots) remains at exercise level during the first seconds of the recovery period. The Hr can be used as a proxy for estimate exercise VO2
The ais of the study were... To assess the validity of postexercise measurements in estimating VO2peak and To determine wich is the most valid and accurate procedure to estimate VO2peak after a supramaximal swmming
Thirty one swimmers performed a standard competition warm up followed by a 200-m supramaximal swim where, Vo2 was measured 1 min before, during and 3 min after exercise using a telemetric portable gas analyser and a swimming snorkel. Hr was also measured beat by beat during the same time intervals using a waterproof monitor. After that, HR and VO2 were 1-s interpolated and synchronized to time o
Exercise Vo2 peak was determined by the single mean of the vo2 values measured during the last 20 seconds of exercise. And was used as a criterion (craitirion) for comparisons
Estimated vo2peak by the BE to time 0 of the first 20 seconds averaged values
The estimated value calculated by BE to time 0 of the first 20-s of breath by breath values of the Vo2 recovery curve
The estimated value calculated by BE to time 0 of the first 30-s of breath by breath values of the Vo2 recovery curve
Estimated Vo2peak by BE value calculated from the first three 20s average values of the vo2 recovery curve
Estimated Vo2peak by BE value calculated from the first four 20s average values of the vo2 recovery curve
Estimated Vo2peak by BE value calculated of the best linear regression fit, first three or four 20s average values.
Only three procedures non differed with the criterion value, BE20, LOG20 and the new model. However the best predictive capacity was showed by the new model with a high correlation, a low mean difference (1.1%) and a low standard error of the estimate (4.1%)
We conclude that, some, but not all, postexercise VO2peak estimation techniques allowed to predict exercise VO2peak with good accuracy. And The new modelling procedure based on postexercise VO2 and HR measurements provides the most valid and accurate procedure for estimating VO2peak in supramaximal swimming whilst avoiding the estimation bias produced by other methods.
