Estimation of mechanical power and energy cost in elite wheelchair racing by analytical procedures and numerical simulations

The aim was to compare the mechanical power and energy cost of an elite wheelchair sprinter in the key-moments of the stroke cycle. The wheelchair-athlete system was 3D scanned and then computational fluid dynamics was used to estimate the drag force. Mechanical power and energy cost were derived fr...
