Reaktiovoimat ja hermolihasjärjestelmän toiminta motocross- hypyn alastulossa

Tomi Konttinen. 2004. Reaktiovoimat ja hermolihasjärjestelmän toiminta motocross- hypyn alastulossa. Liikuntabiologian laitos. Jyväskylän yliopisto. 31s. Käytännön kokemuksen perusteella rasitus motocross-ajossa kohdistuu pääasiassa jalkoihin, käsiin ja selkään. Hermolihasjärjestelmän toiminnan tunteminen on välttämätöntä lajin biomekaniikan ymmärtämiseksi. Moottoripyörän ominaisuuksien, kuten iskunvaimentimien, vaikutus kuljettajan voimantuottoon on epäselvää. Tutkimuksen tarkoituksena oli tutkia reaktiovoimia ja hermolihasjärjestelmän toimintaa motocross-hypyn alastulossa. Koehenkilöinä oli viisi 20 ± 4 vuotiasta motocross-kuljettajaa. Lihasaktiivisuutta (EMG) mitattiin 200 ms ennen takap…

Cardiopulmonary loading in motocross riding

The present study was designed to examine physiological responses during motocross riding. Nine Finnish A-level motocross riders performed a 15-min ride at a motocross track and a test of maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) in the laboratory. Cardiopulmonary strain was measured continuously during the ride as well as in the VO2max test. During the ride, mean VO2 was 32 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1) (s = 4), which was 71% (s = 12) of maximum, while ventilation (V(E)) was 73% (s = 15) of its maximum. The relative VO2 and V(E) values during the riding correlated with successful riding performance (r = 0.80, P < 0.01 and r = 0.79, P < 0.01, respectively). Mean heart rate was maintained at 95% (s = 7) of its…

Cardiorespiratory and Neuromuscular Responses to Motocross Riding

The aim of the present study was to examine physiological and neuromuscular responses during motocross riding at individual maximal speed together with the riding-induced changes in maximal isometric force production. Seven A-level (group A) and 5 hobby-class (group H) motocross-riders performed a 30-minute riding test on a motocross track and maximal muscle strength and oxygen uptake (VO2max) tests in a laboratory. During the riding the mean (+/-SD) VO2 reduced in group A from 86 +/- 10% to 69 +/- 6% of the maximum (P < 0.001), whereas in group H the corresponding reduction was from 94 +/- 25% to 82 +/- 20% (P < 0.05). This relative VO2 during the riding correlated with riding speed (r = 0…
