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

    Author : Johanna Liljedahl; Anton Arndt; Anna Bjerkefors; Carla F J Nooijen; Jan Lexell; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; []
    Keywords : MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; 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.

  4. 2. Performance determinants and classification in paracanoe

    Author : Johanna Rosén; Anna Bjerkefors; Anton Arndt; Vicky Tolfrey; Carl Payton; Gymnastik- och idrottshögskolan; []
    Keywords : MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; canoe; outrigger; para sport; disability; impairment; Paralympics; kinematics; kinetics; Medicin Teknik; Medicine Technology;

    Abstract : Valid classification systems are vital for Paralympic sports in order to minimise the impact of impairment on sports performance. To achieve valid classification, each Paralympic sport must develop evidence-based classification systems by examining the impact of impairment on key performance determinants. READ MORE

    Abstract : Introduction: Acute enhancements of muscle contractile properties and performance subsequent to a maximal or near maximal conditioning contraction are often termed post activation potentiation (PAP). Although still controversial, PAP is commonly linked to enhancements in the myosin regulatory light chain phosphorylation, leading to improvements in the excitation–contraction coupling. READ MORE
