The variations on the aerodynamics of a world-ranked wheelchair sprinter in the key-moments of the stroke cycle

Biomechanics plays an important role helping Paralympic sprinters to excel, having the aerodynamic drag a significant impact on the athlete's performance. The aim of this study was to assess the aerodynamics in different key-moments of the stroke cycle by Computational Fluid Dynamics. A world-r...
