Force Analysis of Bench Press on Stable and Unstable Base
Journal Title: Strojnicky casopis - Journal of Mechanical Engineering - Year 2016, Vol 66, Issue 2
Abstract
The contribution reviews current technologies for the measurement of performance in athletes during stationary exercise and validates the technology utilizing accelerometry. The behaviours of force during the bench press exercise on a stable and unstable base are reviewed and the results are presented. It was found that, training on an unstable base can be exploited by athletes to maximize their performance.

Do not be Afraid of Small High-Speed Francis Turbines
In the first quarter of the last century hydraulic power plants were equipped with high-speed Francis turbines even in the situation when a contemporary project manager would suggest Kaplan turbine. The reason is simpl...
Modeling of Coolant Flow Within the Spent Fuel Storage Pool of a VVER 440 Reactor
The article deals with modelling of coolant flow within the spent fuel storage pool of a VVER 440 reactor. The spent fuel storage pool is modelled in a state of standard reactor operation. The coolant heating from the...
Snake Robot Locomotion Patterns for Straight and Curved Pipe
In the paper the locomotion of snake robot is introduced considering locomotion in straight and curved pipe. For the straight pipe locomotion was designed traveling wave locomotion pattern with sine-like wave which exp...
The Effect of the Free Surface on the Singular Stress Field at the Fatigue Crack Front
Description of stress singularity in the vicinity of a free surface is presented. Its presence causes the retardation of the fatigue crack growth in that region and fatigue crack is being curved. Numerical model is used...
A Closed-Form Buckling Formula for Open-Coiled and Properly Supported Circular-Bar Helical Springs
As a continuation of the author’s previous studies on the buckling analysis of helical springs, a closedform formula having been obtained with the help of the artificial neural network (ANN) is proposed and discussed in...
