    Effect of gear ratio on peak power and time to peak power in BMX cyclists. Item Type Article Authors Rylands, Lee; Roberts, Simon J.; Hurst, Howard Thomas Citation Rylands, L. et al. (2017) 'Effect of gear ratio on peak power and time to peak power in BMX cyclists.' European Journal of Sport Science, 17 (2), pp. 127-131.

Eight male elite BMX riders volunteered for the study. Each rider performed three, 10 second maximal sprints on an Olympic standard indoor BMX track. The riders’ bicycles were fitted with a portable SRM power meter. Each rider performed the three sprints using gear ratios of 41/16, 43/16, 45/16 tooth. The results from the 41/16 and 45/16 gear ratios were compared to the current standard 43/16 gear ratio. Statistically significant differences were found between the gear ratios for peak power (F(2,14) = 6.448; p = 0.010) and peak torque (F(2,14) = 4.777; p = 0.026), but no significant difference was found for time to peak power (F (2,14) = 0.200; p = 0.821).

  • Game On: an Analysis of the Video Game Console Industry
    Of Hedgehogs and Plumbers: An Investigation of Marketing Strategies in the American Home Console Industry By: Daniel DeMaiolo Michael G. Pontikos ADVER 3711 Marketing Communications Research April 23, 2008 Daniel DeMaiolo Michael G. Pontikos ADVER 3711 23 April 2008 Of Hedgehogs and Plumbers: An Investigation of Marketing Strategies in the American Home Console Industry From rescuing damsels in distress locked away in castles, slaying foul monsters in mythic lands, zooming through loop-de-loops in bizarre environments to realistic simulations of everyday life, the American video game home console industry emerges vibrant as ever. Even more interesting is the ability of such tiny pixels and sound bits to capture American minds and wallets. Through examination of the origin of the industry and the subsequent targeting, pricing, and positioning strategies, a portrait of the lucrative home video game console industry emerges. Although many of the major home console manufacturers over the years share a similar goal of selling home consoles to consumers, most of the corporations began in a completely different industry long before the birth of the gaming business and the subsequent console wars. To illustrate, Nintendo Co., Ltd. initially manufactured playing cards in 1889 “called ‘Hanafuda’ [which were] tenderly hand crafted using the bark from the mulberry and mitsu-mata trees” and later expanded to “love hotels” and “instant rice” (N-Sider Media, “Nintendo”). In addition, Sega Corporation, formerly known as Honolulu-based Standard Games in 1940, “began importing jukeboxes to supply American military bases in Japan…[and] eventually expanded into amusement game imports [with the slogan] ‘service and games’ ” from which their name is taken (Pollack, “Sega”).
