A study on the effect of contact pressure during physical activity on photoplethysmographic heart rate measurements by Francesco Scardulla, Leonardo D’Acquisto, Raffaele Colombarini, Sijung Hu, Salvatore Pasta, Diego Bellavia

“…Results: The results show that the CP of 54 mmHg provides the most accurate outcome with a Pearson correlation coefficient ranging from 0.81 to 0.95 and a mean average percentage error ranging from 3.8% to 2.4%, based on the physical activity rate. Conclusion: Authors found that changes in the CP have greater effects on PPG-HR signal quality than those deriving from the intensity of the physical activity and specifically, the individual best CP for each subject provided reliable HR measurements even for a high intensity of physical exercise with a Bland–Altman plot within ±11 bpm. …”

Criterion validity of a field-based assessment of aerobic capacity in wheelchair rugby athletes by Vicky Goosey-Tolfrey, Sonja de Groot, Keith Tolfrey, Tom Paulson

“…Purpose: To confirm whether peak aerobic capacity determined during laboratory testing could be replicated during an on-court field-based test in wheelchair rugby (WR) players. Methods: Sixteen WR players performed an incremental speed-based peak oxygen uptake (V̇O2peak) test on a motorised treadmill (TM) and completed a Multi-stage Fitness Test (MFT) on a basketball court in a counter-balanced order while spirometric data were recorded. …”
