Single-Limb Coefficient Field Study: Assault Airbike
STUDY OVERVIEW
The test for the study is comprised of two, 90-second maximum effort sprints on the Assault AirBike. One sprint test will be performed using all able limbs and another test will be conducted restricting the use of one leg or one arm. Data in the form of maximum meters will be collected as well as demographic data from the test subject.

OBJECTIVE
Collect sufficient data to determine a coefficient to be used to adapt able-bodied workouts and competition events for athletes using one arm or one leg. Two separate coefficients will be determined: 1) single-arm coefficient, and 2) single-leg coefficient. Example: 20cal —> .85% (for one arm) = 17cal

TESTING PROTOCOL (link to document here:
1. Choose Tested Limb: Testing subject may choose to test single-arm or single leg (may not test both in the same procedure).
2. Determine Testing Order: Flip a coin to determine which test to perform first.
Heads: test able-bodied first.
Tails: test restricted one limb first.
3. Perform First Test (ex: single-arm and legs)
Warm-Up: 90s on AirBike increasing rate of perceived effort every 30s.
Rest (1min): Reset AirBike and Monitor
  Monitor reads 0 meters.
  Bike is static (not moving).
Perform 90s Maximum Effort Test
Record Meters at 90s
4. Start 5min Rest Period
Test subject may perform rest as desired but shall not perform any activities that would interfere with second test.
5. Perform Second Test (ex: able-bodied)
Warm-Up: 90s on AirBike increasing rate of perceived effort every 30s.
Rest (1min): Reset AirBike and Monitor
  Monitor reads 0 meters.
  Bike is static (not moving).
Perform 90s Maximum Effort Test
Record Meters at 90s
