Wheel Chair Sports Training:
Sport "N Spkes magazine is a publication that covers activities for individuals who are and/or want to remain active. The magazine caters to those who just want some fun activities to participate in to those who are highly competetive and need more of a challenge.
Training Tips - strength training SNS library
Part one (March 1998) of this series stressed the importance of functional adaptation, and part two (June 1998) discussed the beginning of sport-specific preparation in resistance training.The hypertrophy phase was implemented to increase muscles' cross-sectional area or size. The sport-specific preparation concluded with the maximal strength development phase where the size produced in the hypertrophy phase was transformed into the strength needed for optimal sport performance.

Track Training Tips: Para backhand wheeling technique
Since the para-backhand technique was introduced nearly four years ago, its fundamental principles have changed very little. The success experienced by not only University of Illinois (U of I) racers but also athletes around the world who have emulated the stroke stands as a testament to this technique's benefits. The same key principles laid in the beginning stand today as the stroke's most crucial aspects. This article's purpose is not to introduce new mechanics but rather to review essential points for learning.
Track Training Tips: Don't sweat it
When it becomes that time of year to be outside: exercising, picnics, sports eventsand beach activities are the most popular. But each year many people die from the effects of excessive heat-lightning is the only other weather-related phenomenon that kills more people. Use common sense and simple aids to avoid the hazards of heat stress.

Dynamic calibration of a wheelchair dynamometer
The inertia and resistance of a wheelchair dynamometer must be determined in order to compare the results of one study to another, independent of the type of device used. The purpose of this study was to describe and implement a dynamic calibration test for characterizing the electro-mechanical properties of a dynamometer. The inertia, the viscous friction, the kinetic friction, the motor back-electromotive force constant, and the motor constant were calculated using three different methods. The methodology based on a dynamic calibration test along with a nonlinear regression analysis produced the best results. The coefficient of determination comparing the dynamometer model output to the measured angular velocity and torque was 0.999 for a ramp input and 0.989 for a sinusoidal input. The inertia and resistance were determined for the rollers and the wheelchair wheels. The calculation of the electro-mechanical parameters allows for the complete description of the propulsive torque produced by an individual, given only the angular velocity and acceleration. The measurement of the electro-mechanical properties of the dynamometer as well as the wheelchair/human system provides the information necessary to simulate real-world conditions.
Sample student review paper exercise and spinal cord injury
Current estimates show the prevalence of spinal cord injury in the United States to be from 250,000 to 300,000 people, with approximately 10,000 new injuries occurring each year (Wells and Hooker, 1990 p. 270). With rates of spinal cord injury being this high, persons with spinal cord injury (SCI) represent a significant portion of the population. Due to the confinement to wheelchairs, SCI often has a devastating effect on the lives of the injured persons. The psychological effects of a spinal cord injury can be a major setback to the rehabilitation process. The victims often have a very bitter attitude towards life, and the desire to regain the healthy body they may have once had is often gone (Rimmer, 1994, p.238).
Wheel Chair selection and Configuration
Wheelchair Selection and Configuration serves as an excellent resource for those learning about the "ins and outs" of wheelchairs, or as a refresher for those not regularly involved in recommending wheeled mobility." -- Susan J. Forwell, Senior Instructor Division of Occupational Therapy School of Rehabilitation Sciences
Consistent with the nondisabled population, cardiorespiratory disease is one of the leading causes of death in the spinal cord injury (SCI) population (1). As a result, there is an ever-growing need for physical fitness for individuals with SCI. The primary and secondary cardiorespiratory complications that occur as a result of SCI were discussed in detail in Chapter One.
Amputee Sports:
There's a lot to do out there. There are a lot of ways to exercise your need to sweat or to compete or just to play. So put down the damn remote, turn off the TV and go do something. Then go teach the kids
