Cardio-respiratory and neuromuscular responses to motocross race
2005
Tomi Konttinen. 2005. Cardio-respiratory and neuromuscular responses to motocrossrace. Department of Biology of Physical Activity. University of Jyväskylä. 37p.Objectives - The primary aim of the present study was to examine physiological andneuromuscular responses during motocross racing. Furthermore, maximal isometricforce levels of the upper and lower body were studied.Methods - Seven Finnish A-level (group A) and five hobby-class (group H)motocross-riders performed a 30 minute riding test at a motocross track and muscleforce and maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max) tests in a laboratory. Variablesdescribing cardio-respiratory strain were measured continuously during the riding andin the VO2ma…
Reaktiovoimat ja hermolihasjärjestelmän toiminta motocross- hypyn alastulossa
2004
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…
The effects of active vs. passive recovery on riding performance during a simulated motocross race
2021
Aims: Motocross consists of two races of 30 min with a break in between. Recovery between races is paramount to performance, this study aimed to compare the effects of active and passive recovery between motocross races on riding performance. Methods: Thirteen elite and non-elite racers performed two races of 30 min with 1 h break, twice with two-week interval. Between the races active (20 min ergometer cycling at 60% of HRmax) or passive recovery (no activity) were executed in a randomized order. Lap times, heart rate during riding, blood lactate, reaction time, handgrip strength, upper back pull strength, counter movement jump height, and medicine ball throw distance were measured before …
The effects on riding performance using active vs passive recovery during a simulated motocross race
2017
Aleix Ollé Casanovas. 2017. The effects on riding performance using active vs passive recovery during a simulated motocross race. University of Jyväskylä. 53p. The aim of the present study was to examine the effect of active and passive recovery methods in order to improve physical performance between motocross races. Exercise induced muscle damage post motocross racing was assessed as well. Participants performed 2 races of 30 minutes with one hour break in between. During the break they performed either active or passive recovery protocols. Specific motocross performance outcomes and athlete’s physical conditions were measured during, and before and after every motocross race. Lap times (…
