Journal ArticleDOI
Arm strength and impulse generation: Initiation of wheelchair movement by the physically disabled
TL;DR: This study examined the relation between arm strength, activity level, degree of disability and the maximum impulse generated from a resting position while seated in a wheelchair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Perception of exertion in the elderly, effects of aging, mode of exercise and physical training.
K. H. Sidney,Roy J. Shephard +1 more
TL;DR: Ratings of perceived exertion by the Borg psychophysical scale have been made on 26 men and 30 women aged 60 to 70 yr, volunteers for a pre-retirement exercise programme, finding ratings were higher for females than males and higher for old than young subjects.

A critical examination of the Douglas bag technique.
TL;DR: To obtain accurate information about the behaviour of Douglas bags in general, it is necessary to consider other variables, particularly the volume of gas in the bag and the surface area of the bag in question.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac effects of short term arm crank training in paraplegics: echocardiographic evidence.
TL;DR: It is concluded that a short period of arm training is insufficient to induce cardiac hypertrophy, and an increase of stroke volume with a decreased rate pressure product but no change in echocardioraphic indices of LV performance implies an improved myocardial efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Effect of Standard Strength vs. Contrast Strength Training on the Development of Sprint, Agility, Repeated Change of Direction, and Jump in Junior Male Soccer Players.
