Comparison of peak oxygen uptake between upper-body exercise modes: A systematic literature review and meta-analysis
Baumgart, Julia Kathrin; Brurok, Berit; Sandbakk, Øyvind (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Purpose: To compare peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak) between the asynchronous arm crank ergometry (ACE), and synchronous wheelchair ergometry (WERG), wheelchair treadmill (WTR), and upper-body poling (UBP) mode. Methods: ... -
Determination of peak oxygen uptake, the anaerobic threshold and efficiency in Paralympic sitting sports - With emphasis on the influence of test mode and protocol
Baumgart, Julia Kathrin (Doctoral theses at NTNU, 2018:342, Doctoral thesis, 2018)SUMMARY Endurance exercise performance is mainly determined by peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak), percentage of VO2peak used at the anaerobic threshold and efficiency. Furthermore, a high VO2peak increases tolerance for higher ... -
