“…Most responders reported benefits, especially in the fitness domain, but also in the domains of health, personal development, and ADL performance. These results are in agreement with improvements in peak power output and peak oxygen uptake [9], peak expiratory flow [9], body composition [8,9], and mental status [10] during training for the HandbikeBattle event. An explanation for these experienced benefits might be that the HandbikeBattle project (free-living training plus event) meets the experiential aspects of participation (autonomy, belongingness, challenge, engagement, mastery, and meaning) [12] better than the regular exercise training programs.…”

“…Handcyclists are advised by rehabilitation professionals, e.g., physical therapists, occupational therapists, and physical educators, but they train on their own or with other team members for 5 months prior to the event. Recent studies showed that training for the HandbikeBattle leads to positive short-term effects on physical fitness and physical and mental health [8][9][10]; however, the ultimate goal of the HandbikeBattle is that participants experience positive effects on performance of activities in daily life and in their personal development, and participate in sports on an ongoing basis. Therefore, the aims of this follow-up survey 1.5-5.5 years after the event were to study: (1) experienced benefits of participation in the HandbikeBattle, (2) ongoing sports participation, and (3) experienced barriers and facilitators of current sport participation, and whether these differ between those who were more/less involved in sports 1.5-5.5 years after the event or participated once or multiple times in the event.…”

“…All participants are screened and train in self-organizing teams of their rehabilitation center for a period of 4-5 months prior to the HBB event. Data from this project showed that self-regulated handcycle training over a period of five months can increase peak power output (þ17%), peak oxygen uptake (þ7%), peak ventilation (þ9%) and reduce fat mass index (À6.3%), BMI (À2%) and waist circumference (À4%) [65,83,113,114].…”

Aim: In this narrative review the potential and importance of handcycling are evaluated. Four conceptual models form the framework for this review; (1) the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health; (2) the Stress-Strain-Capacity model; (3) the Human-Activity-Assistive Technology model; and(4) the power balance model for cyclic exercise. Methods: Based on international handcycle experience in (scientific) research and practice, evidencebased benefits of handcycling and optimization of handcycle settings are presented and discussed for rehabilitation, daily life and recreational sports. Results: As the load can be distributed over the full 360 cycle in handcycling, peak stresses in the shoulder joint and upper body muscles reduce. Moreover, by handcycling regularly, the physical capacity can be improved. The potential of handcycling as an exercise mode for a healthy lifestyle should be recognized and advocated much more widely in rehabilitation and adapted sports practice. The interface between handcycle and its user should be optimized by choosing a suitable person-specific handcycle, but mainly by optimizing the handcycle dimensions to one's needs and desires. These dimensions can influence efficient handcycle use and potentially improve both endurance and speed of handcycling. Conclusion:To optimize performance in rehabilitation, daily life and recreational sports, continued and more systematic research is required. ä IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATIONHandcycling allows users to travel farther distances at higher speeds and to train outdoors. It should be recognized as an alternative exercise modality for daily outdoor use, also already in early rehabilitation, while it contributes to a healthy lifestyle. To individualize handcycle performance, the user-handcycle (assistive device) interface as well as the vehicle mechanics should be optimized to minimize external power and reduce friction, so that the upper body capacity can be efficiently used. To optimize handcycling individual performance, both the physiological and biomechanical aspects of handcycling should be considered when monitoring or testing handcycle exercise.

“…The event is accompanied by a longitudinal cohort study that involves all participants each year and follows them in a pre-post rhythm of measurements prior to training, just before the mountain race and up to a year after the event. The measurements are focused on physical and mental capacity, and wellbeing outcomes [110][111][112][113]. Handcycling is assumed to benefit both the shoulder health and the cardio-metabolic condition and beyond that is fun as a sport or recreation outdoor.…”

Background: Human movement, rehabilitation, and allied sciences have embraced their ambitions within the cycle of "RehabMove" congresses over the past 30 years. This combination of disciplines and collaborations in the Netherlands has tried to provide answers to questions in the fields of rehabilitation and adapted sports, while simultaneously generating new questions and challenges. These research questions help us to further deepen our understanding of (impaired) human movement and functioning, with and without supportive technologies, and stress the importance of continued multidisciplinary (inter)national collaboration. Methods: This position stand provides answers that were conceived by the authors in a creative process underlining the preparation of the 6th RehabMove Congress. Results: The take-home message of the RehabMove2018 Congress is a plea for continued multidisciplinary research in the fields of rehabilitation and adapted sports. This should be aimed at more individualized notions of human functioning, practice, and training, but also of performance, improved supportive technology, and appropriate "human and technology asset management" at both individual and organization levels and over the lifespan. Conclusions: With this, we anticipate to support the development of rehabilitation sciences and technology and to stimulate the use of rehabilitation notions in general health care. We also hope to help ensure a stronger embodiment of preventive and lifestyle medicine in rehabilitation practice. Indeed, general health care and rehabilitation practice require a healthy and active lifestyle management and research agenda in the context of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention. ä IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION Continued multidisciplinary (international) collaboration will stimulate the development of rehabilitation and human movement sciences. Notions from "human and technology asset management and ergonomics" are fundamental to rehabilitation practice and research. The rehabilitation concept will further merge into general health care and the quality there-off.

Effect of self-guided training for the HandbikeBattle on body composition in people with spinal cord injury

Abstract: Self-guided training for the HandbikeBattle led to a large increase in fitness but had a small effect on body composition, e.g., nutrition may play a more important role than exercise.
