From now on we are also visible in Reade. To make us more visible in the READE rehabilitation center, we have developed a new banner. In addition to the banner, you can see us on an information folder in the waiting room. By showing us in Reade, we hope to Read more…
At TU Delft we have been invited to attend a workshop to receive PR advice on the most important race. It soon became clear that everything is in place with good planning and communication within the team. It is important to start publishing long before the race about preparations that Read more…
PULSE Racing is aiming to participate with a brand new bike at the Cybathlon in 2020. The Engineering Department of PULSE Racing has been around for a few months now and a good start has been made with developing this bike. The rough design is well underway as several aspects Read more…
A start has been made with electromyography, EMG for short. By means of EMG it is possible to find out more about muscle activation. By testing this on ourselves, we can gain a better insight into muscle activation while cycling on the Berkelbike. We then incorporated these insights into the Read more…
In the past month we started using the pointer during training with our athletes. This allows us to locate active motor units in order to position our electrodes even more adequately. Through better positioning of the electrodes, we hope to be able to cause stronger muscle contraction.
