No evidence that frontal optical flow affects perceived locomotor speed and locomotor biomechanics when running on a treadmill

Caramenti, Martina ; Lafortuna, Claudio L. ; Mugellini, Elena ; Khaled, Omar Abou ; Bresciani, Jean-Pierre ; Dubois, Amandine

In: Applied Sciences, 2019, vol. 9, no. 21, p. 4589

We investigated how the presentation and the manipulation of an optical flow while running on a treadmill affect perceived locomotor speed (Experiment 1) and gait parameters (Experiment 2). In Experiment 1, 12 healthy participants were instructed to run at an imposed speed and to focus on their sensorimotor sensations to be able to reproduce this running speed later. After a pause, they had...

Regular physical activity modulates perceived visual speed when running in treadmill-mediated virtual environments

Caramenti, Martina ; Lafortuna, Claudio L. ; Mugellini, Elena ; Khaled, Omar Abou ; Bresciani, Jean-Pierre ; Dubois, Amandine

In: PLOS ONE, 2019, vol. 14, no. 6, p. e0219017

In virtual reality, visual speed is usually underestimated relative to locomotor speed. Here we investigated how physical activity and fitness affect perceived visual speed when running in a treadmill-mediated virtual environment. Thirty healthy participants (ten sedentary individuals, ten team sport players and ten expert runners) ran on a treadmill at two different speeds (8, 12km/h) in...

The faster, the better? Relationships between run-up speed, the degree of difficulty (D-score), height and length of flight on vault in artistic gymnastics

Schärer, Christoph ; Lehmann, Thomas ; Naundorf, Falk ; Taube, Wolfgang ; Hübner, Klaus

In: PLOS ONE, 2019, vol. 14, no. 3, p. e0213310

On vault in artistic gymnastics, a high run-up speed is thought to be important when performing difficult vaults. To test this assumption in a large cohort of elite athletes, we calculated the correlations between the run-up speed, scores, height and length of flight for handspring-, Tsukahara- and Yurchenko-style vaults and compared the performances of male and female elite and junior...

Influence of wheel rim width on rolling resistance and off-road speed in cross-country mountain biking

Maier, Thomas ; Müller, Beat ; Allemann, Remo ; Steiner, Thomas ; Wehrlin, Jon Peter

In: Journal of Sports Sciences, 2019, vol. 37, no. 7, p. 833–838

The rim width of cross-country mountain bike wheel sets has increased in recent years, but the effect of this increase on performance remains unknown. The aim of this study was to analyse the influence of rim width on rolling resistance and off-road speed. We compared 3 tubeless wheel sets: 25 mm inner width as baseline, 30 mm width with the same tyre stiffness, and 30 mm width with the same...
