Schematic overview of the experimental setup and data collection. Top: Experimental measurement and test set-up for low-intensity steady state (v = 1.1 m/s; 0.2 W/kg body weight) treadmill wheeling, using a pulley system, measurement wheels, mobile oxygen uptake and 3D motion capture on a motor driven treadmill. Bottom: Example of the momentary power output (W) over the whole 12 min practice protocol (3x4min; 2 min rest in between) for one participant. Data of the last minute of each practice block was analyzed (T1, T2, and T3).
