Abstract(s)

One concern for wheelchair sprinters is the head’s alignment racing. This misalignment may increase significantly the resistance acting upon the athlete albeit, evidence on this is scarce in wheelchair racing. A feasible way to gather insight on the effects of misalignments in the aerodynamics is the cost-down technique.
