Comparing functional dynamic normalization methods to maximal voluntary isometric contractions for lower limb EMG from walking, cycling and running
(Elsevier, 2019-02)There is no consensus on the most appropriate method for normalizing an individual’s electromyography (EMG) signals from walking, cycling and running in the same data collection. The aim of this study was to compare how ... -
An Empirical Study of Bicyclists' Turning Behaviour at Signalized Intersections
(University of Waterloo, 2018-08-23)Efforts to increase cycling mode share have seen some success in North America, though challenges persist due to real and perceived safety issues. Of particular concern are left turns at signalized intersections. Left turns ... -
Estimating Intersection Annual Average Daily Bicycle Traffic from 8-hour Turning Movement Counts
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-23)This thesis outlines a set of procedures for estimating annual average daily bicycle traffic (AADB) from one day, 8-hour turning movement counts (TMCs). Factoring methods for annualizing short duration counts have been ... -
Lower Limb Biomechanics in Walking, Running and Cycling: Implications for Overuse Injury
(University of Waterloo, 2019-09-27)A common anecdotal theory among endurance athletes is that cycling results in fewer knee injuries compared to running. This is thought to be due in part to a lower impact ground reaction force in cycling, compared to ... -
Monitoring and Evaluating Cycling in Canadian Cities
(University of Waterloo, 2013-04-25)Many cities in North America have stated goals in their Official Plans, Transportation Plans, and other municipal documents related to cycling. A common objective is to increase the number and proportion of cyclists for ...
