Why the study?
Does arm swing with wrist weights during endurance cycling improve metabolic responses and perceived exertion in healthy males?
Does arm swing with wrist weights during endurance cycling improve metabolic responses and perceived exertion in healthy males?
Arm swing with wrist weights during cycling reduces lactic acid levels and perceived exertion compared to cycling without wrist weights at the same target heart rate.
