Five competition polo ponies were ridden by a professional rider to perform five maximal accelerations and five maximal decelerations in an all-weather polo arena.
Our interest here is whether muscle power presents the single limit accounting for maximal acceleration and deceleration.
We examined two elite athletes bred and trained for acceleration performance (polo ponies and racing greyhounds), when performing maximal acceleration (and deceleration for ponies) in a competitive setting.
It is concluded that strong non-stationary bending oscillations of radial jet lead to particle deceleration, limiting maximal pipe inner diameter.
IVRT, isovolumic relaxation time; Vmax, maximal velocity; DTE, E wave deceleration time; Vp, propagation velocity.
BP, blood pressure; CVP, central venous pressure; ICU, intensive care unit; IVRT, isovolumic relaxation time; LV, left ventricular; LVEDVI, left ventricular end-diastolic volume index; SVR, systemic vascular resistance; Vmax, maximal velocity; DTE, E wave deceleration time.
According to the definition of the baseball pitching motion (Meister [2000]), we defined an abbreviated throwing motion ranging from the late cocking (maximal external rotation of the humerus) to the deceleration phase.
Maximal velocities of mitral E and A waves, deceleration time of E wave (DTE), maximal velocity of E' wave (tissue Doppler at the lateral mitral annulus), and left ventricular (LV) stroke volume were measured.
The authors measured maximal velocities of mitral E and A waves, deceleration time of E wave (DTE), maximal velocity of E' wave measured by tissue Doppler at lateral mitral annulus, and left ventricular (LV) stroke volume.
