van Dijk, M.P. (author), Hoozemans, Marco J.M. (author), Berger, M.A.M. (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author)In wheelchair sports, there is an increasing need to monitor mechanical power in the field. When rolling resistance is known, inertial measurement units (IMUs) can be used to determine mechanical power. However, upper body (i.e., trunk) motion affects the mass distribution between the small front and large rear wheels, thus affecting rolling...journal article 2024

van Dijk, M.P. (author), Hoozemans, Marco J.M. (author), Berger, M.A.M. (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author)An important performance determinant in wheelchair sports is the power exchanged between the athlete-wheelchair combination and the environment, in short, mechanical power. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) might be used to estimate the exchanged mechanical power during wheelchair sports practice. However, to validly apply IMUs for mechanical...journal article 2024

De Vette, V.G. (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author), van Dijk, M.P. (author)More insight into in-field mechanical power in cyclical sports is useful for coaches, sport scientists, and athletes for various reasons. To estimate in-field mechanical power, the use of wearable sensors can be a convenient solution. However, as many model options and approaches for mechanical power estimation using wearable sensors exist, and...review 2022

Armenta, Carlos (author), Delprat, Sebastien (author), Negenborn, R.R. (author), Haseltalab, A. (author), Lauber, Jimmy (author), Dambrine, Michel (author)Pontryagin’s Minimum Principle is a way of solving hybrid powertrain optimal energy management. This paper presents an improvement of a classical implementation. The core of this improvement consists in relaxing the tolerance on some intermediate steps of the algorithm in order to reduce the number of iterations and thereby reducing the...journal article 2021

Seitz, Arne (author), Luisa Habermann, Anaïs (author), van Sluis, M. (author)The paper discusses optimality constellations for the design of boundary layer ingesting propulsive fuselage concept aircraft under special consideration of different fuselage fan power train options. Therefore, a rigorous methodical approach for the evaluation of the power saving potentials of propulsive fuselage concept aircraft...journal article 2020

van der Kruk, E. (author), van der Helm, F.C.T. (author), Veeger, H.E.J. (author), Schwab, A.L. (author)The quantification of mechanical power can provide valuable insight into athlete performance because it is the mechanical principle of the rate at which the athlete does work or transfers energy to complete a movement task. Estimates of power are usually limited by the capabilities of measurement systems, resulting in the use of simplified power...review 2018

Zuiker, T.P.J. (author)The technique of speed skating is unique in comparison to other sports that require human propulsion. Skaters generate a forward velocity by pushing off sideways. The ideal push-off technique is a trade-off: a more sideward directed push-off facilitates power production, but a more forward directed push-off increases the transfers rate of push...master thesis 2014
