The physiological responses to walking with and without Power Poles on treadmill exercise
(1993)
Power poles are specially constructed, rubber-tipped ski
poles designed for use during walking. The user simulates
the arm motion of cross-country skiing while walking, thus
increasing the muscle mass used during exercise. ...
A comparison of rating of perceived exertion in treadmill vs track walking and running
(1990)
Twenty-six volunteers, ages 19-36 years completed 3 exercise tests (females = 22; males = 4).The purpose of the study was to evaluate the use of rating of perceived emotion (RPE) as a frame of reference for the production ...
Relationship between the talk test and ventilatory threshold
(1999)
The Talk Test is a widely recommended form of prescribing exercise intensity, however
very few studies have specifically evaluated its physiological validity. This study
evaluated the relationship between the Talk Test ...
The effects of the Cross Walk's resistive arm poles on the metabolic costs of treadmill walking
(1994)
The recently developed CROSS WALKR exercise treadmill incorporates resistive arm
poles designed to increase the metabolic costs associated with walking. Twenty-nine
healthy men (mean age, 24.2 yr) were recruited to study ...
Energy cost of walking with and without arm activity on the Cross Walk dual motion cross trainer
(1993)
The CROSS WALK Dual Motion Cross Trainer (CROSS WALK) (Proform, Logan, UT) is a motorized treadmill designed to increase the energy cost of walking by incorporating arm activity during walking, thus increasing the muscle ...
