Laser sailors have to tolerate fatiguing contractions of the lower-body muscles for prolonged
periods. The aims of the present study were (1) to evaluate the difference between top …

In this study, we tested the hypothesis that elite dinghy sailing is a whole-body, dynamic,
repeated-effort sport, and that increased heart rate and oxygen consumption reflect its …

In this study we analyzed the influence of both exercise duration and skill level on energy
demand in Laser sailing. Twenty-three subjects volunteered for this study. The population is …

This study investigates the physiological responses to upwind sailing on a laser emulation
ergometer and analyses the components of the physical profile that determine the …

The aim of this study was to assess the oxygen uptake (VO2), heart rate (HR) and blood
lactate concentration ([Lab]) during actual dinghy sailing at different wind velocities. Eight …

Laser class sailors have to hike out, ie hook their feet under the toe straps near the
centreline of the boat and hold their upper bodies over the edge of the boat, to counteract …

Abstract Background/Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences
in the physical fitness characteristics of Chinese single-handed dinghy and 470 sailors …

Purpose: To develop a sailing ergometer that accurately simulates upwind sailing exercise.
Methods: A sailing ergometer that measures roll moment accompanied by a biofeedback …

The aim of this study was to assess the physiological profile of America's Cup grinders and
mastmen, by measuring energy expenditure during sailing and assessing their aerobic and …

The aim of this study was to measure forces acting on a laser sailor in order to obtain an
indication of the physical demands in the major muscle groups used during dinghy racing …
