2. 1. Examining Inequalities in Cycling Motility : A Pathway Towards Cycling Justice

   Author : Zahra Hamidi; Christina Lindkvist; Karin Brundell-Freij; Vincent Kaufmann; Malmö universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; cycling; justice; motility; mobility capital; accessibility; GIS; Urban studies; Urbana studier; Transportstudier; Transportation studies;

   Abstract : Realizing the environmental and social benefits of cycling requires effective policies that deliver increased and inclusive cycling. This thesis aims to contribute to the development of such policies by providing insights into what could make cycling achievable for more diverse social groups through engaging with theoretical perspectives from transport geography, the mobilities paradigm and social justice.

4. 2. Towards evidence-based classification in para-cycling

   Author : Johanna Liljedahl; Anton Arndt; Anna Bjerkefors; Carla F J Nooijen; Jan Lexell; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; []
   Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; cycling; para sport; Paralympics; performance; impairment; Medicin Teknik; Medicine Technology;

   Abstract : The aim of classification in Paralympic sport is to minimize the impact of impairment on the outcome of competition. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the impact of different types of impairments on para-cycling performance to develop an evidence-based classification system in the para-cycling C (bicycling) and T (tricycling) divisions.
