Improving the Power of Dutch wheelchair athletes through innovative measurements, (data)science and feedback

[Riemer Vegter @RiemerVegter]

Today @RetoTogni demonstrated the Steering-by-Leaning wheelchair developed during his PhD-research at the @ETH_en @lmbethz and tested together with @BW_Groningen.

Watch #Floris_Meijer's experience at @NPO2 by NTR @Wetenschap #focustv

[Rowie Janssen @RowieJanssen]

Proud to present our @NWheelpower research at @RehabWeekOrg! We evaluated a test protocol to measure the wheelchair-specific anaerobic and aerobic exercise capacity on the Lode Esseda Ergometer @Lode_Ergometry. #RehabWeek2022

[The Peter Harrison Laboratory @PHC_Lboro]

The PHC are excited to announce the extension of @RiemerVegter’s Visiting Fellow position in Rehabilitation Sciences.

We look forward to continuing working with you, Riemer! 🥳💭💡👏🏼🎉

Honorary @NWheelpower member @Thomas_2016 just published very promising results of a new handrim for wheelchair tennis!

[Thomas Rietveld @Thomas_2016]

A new hand rim in wheelchair tennis shows promising results in a group of novices. Very happy to share our latest research @RiemerVegter @DeGrootSonja @lucasvdwoude @BW_Groningen: https://t.co/ounwl10cS5

[NL_WheelPower @NWheelpower]

@NWheelpower member @moniqueberger1 delivered her excellent inaugural lecture at @dehaagse! The perfect opportunity to increase #Paralympic collaboration between leading partners on research implementation!

[Riemer Vegter @RiemerVegter]

Go @moniqueberger1! geweldige introrede 👍

[Rowie Janssen @RowieJanssen]

@NWheelpower measurements of the @Wheelchairrugby team on the wheelchair ergometer from @Lode_Ergometry! 💪💥

[NL_WheelPower @NWheelpower]

Great symposium and atmosphere at the @InvictusGamesNL where @NWheelpower presented its projects with sensor and ergometer measurements in wheelchair sports.

[Riemer Vegter @RiemerVegter]

@NWheelpower consortium day! Great discussion and real-life interaction! On to the next two years of #wheelchair #sportscience!

[UMCG @umcg]
