Tuomas Lappi (2014). Effect of sitting position on muscle activation and force generation in simulated sit-ski double poling and on balance perturbation test. Liikuntabiologian laitos, Jyväskylän yliopisto, Biomekaniikan Pro Gradu tutkielma, 98 s. Kelkkahiihto kuuluu vammaishiihtolajeihin, joita hallinnoi Kansainvälinen Paralympiakomitea (IPC). IPC ylläpitää kelkkahiihtäjien luokitteluprosessia joka pohjautuu hiihtäjän vammojen ominaisuuksiin ja suorituskykyyn kelkkahiihdossa. Luokittelujärjestelmän parametrit perustuvat lihasten ja nivelten toimintakykyyn, jota arvioidaan voimantuoton, liikkuvuuden sekä lääketieteellisen analyysin kautta. Vammojen yksilöllisen luonteen takia toiminnallisuuteen pohjautuva luokittelujärjestelmä jättää tulkinnanvaraa luokan määrittämisessä. Tämä tutkimus esittelee kelkkahiihtäjien testijärjestelmän joka analysoi neljää kelkkahiihtäjien käyttämää istuma-asentoa. Järjestelmä todennetaan toimivaksi terveillä testihenkilöillä, ja osoitetaan soveltuvaksi myös vammaisurheilijoille. Testijärjestelmää voidaan käyttää tiedon keräämiseen kelkkahiihtäjien luokittelujärjestelmän kehittämiseksi. Testit keräävät tietoa lihasten aktivaatiotasosta ja voimatuotosta tasatyöntösuorituksessa sekä tasapainon säilyttämistilanteissa. Tilastollisesti maksimaalisessa tasatyöntösuorituksessa P3 (polviasento) on edullisempi kuin asento P2 (polvet sylissä) arvolla p=0.011. Tasapainon säilyttämisen kannalta Rectus Abdominus lihaksen aktivaatiossa on näiden asentojen suhteen eroa (p=0.016) P3:sen hyväksi. Avainsanat: IPC, kelkkahiihto, lihasaktivaatio, istuma-asennot, luokittelu. ...
 
Tuomas Lappi (2014). Effect of sitting position on muscle activation and force generation in simulated sit-ski double poling and on balance perturbation test. Department of Biology of Physical Activity, University of Jyväskylä, Master’s thesis in Biomechanics, 98 pp. Sit-skiing is part of Nordic skiing for disabled athletes. It is governed by International Paralympic Committee (IPC) that provides guidelines for sit skiers’ classification process. Classification process analyses key factors on level of impairment and the impact of the disability to the performance on the sport in question. Classification process parameters are based on functional characteristics such as force generation capabilities, range of movements and medical assessments. Due to individualistic nature of disabilities, the functional classification leaves room for discussion about fairness of class allocation. This study presents a sit skiers’ test set-up that analyses four different sitting positions the sit-skiers use. The test set-up is verified with able bodied test subjects to be applicable to be extended on disabled athletes. It can be used to obtain scientific information to develop the sit-skiers’ classification process. Tests collects information on muscle electronic activation and force generation capabilities on double poling and balance maintenance activities. On maximal speed double poling P3 (kneeing) was concluded to have significant advantage over P2 (knee high) with p=0.011. In balance maintenance Rectus Abdominus’ EMG indicated significant difference between the same positions with p=0.016, P3 having higher value. Keywords: IPC, sit-skiing, muscle activation, sitting positions, classification. ...
