Abstract
Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate feasibility and early effects of moderate intensity bed-cycling eccentric training on healthy individuals, and establish whether this training modality could be implemented into bedridden patients' routine care.
Methods
Longitudinal study with prepost exercise intervention measurements. The development of a bed-adapted eccentric ergometer allowed to conduct five training sessions during 3 weeks at increasing intensity on 11 healthy individuals. Force-speed relationship, maximal voluntary knee extension force and neural activation of subjects were evaluated before and after the programme.
Results
Five training sessions were sufficient to decrease the rate of perceived exertion whereas eccentric power output increased (+40%). After training, maximal voluntary isometric contraction force measured during knee extension had significantly improved in all subjects, with a mean increase of 17%. Maximal cycling power was also significantly higher (+7%) after the training programme.
Conclusion
Taken together, these results show that moderate load eccentric bed cycling (i) was feasible and efficient, (ii) did not generate excessive individual perception of effort during exercise nor develop major muscular or joint pain after training and (iii) allowed early force and power gains in healthy subjects.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging publishes reports on clinical and experimental research pertinent to human physiology in health and disease. The scope of the Journal is very broad, covering all aspects of the regulatory system in the cardiovascular, renal and pulmonary systems with special emphasis on methodological aspects. The focus for the journal is, however, work that has potential clinical relevance. The Journal also features review articles on recent front-line research within these fields of interest.
Covered by the major abstracting services including Current Contents and Science Citation Index, Clinical Physiology and Functional Imaging plays an important role in providing effective and productive communication among clinical physiologists world-wide.
