A Friendly Tricycle For Disabled People - 0 views

  •  
    A tricycle for special needs is made so can go along for the ride in wheelchair or sitting in a special seat, both of which are attached right in front of another adult's trike. Tricycles to accommodate a vast array of special needs. Hand-pedaled recumbent tricycles are available for those without the use of their legs. Children, teens and adults with cerebral palsy and similar disorders can select tricycles specially designed to increase strength and coordination. Caregivers to autistic children can ride with their child on tandem special needs tricycles built to accommodate one adult and one child rider. Accessories are also available to convert standard trikes to suit specific needs. The objective of tricycle design is to produce wheelchairs that perform well and can provide appropriate seating and postural support without compromising strength, durability and safety. A Hand Driven Tricycle, abbreviated to trike is a three-wheeled passenger vehicle, usually carrying a single rider. The tricycle consists of a motorbike and an attached passenger sidecar and should not be confused with the tricycle. The trike is a motorized three-wheeled pedicab. Human-powered trikes are powered by pedals or hand cranks. Motorized trikes use motorcycle or scooter,or electric motors. Tricycles tend to be used for commercial purposes: such as "pedicabs" for transport passengers, and freight trikes for making deliveries. In the adult-sized tricycles are used primarily for recreation, shopping, and exercise. Tricycles are favoured by children and senior adults alike for their apparent stability versus a bicycle; but a conventional trike has poor dynamic lateral stability, and the rider must take care when cornering to avoid tipping the trike over. Standard Single Hand Driven Tricycle: Frame : Made by E.R.W. Tubes 22.22 mm- 18 G. Seat & Back : MS, CRC Sheet Seat Size 18"x 16" Wheel Size : Wheel Diameter 28"x 1 1/2" Tyre and Tube Standard Company. Parts : Standard Quality

TMAGNUM FORUMS - One Lift A Day Support Group - 0 views

  • I'm getting ready to start my fourth OLAD cycle tomorrow. Through trial and error I've settled into a specific wave parameter that worked miracles on my third cycle. I've set so many PR's in the last few months that I can't believe it. Since I have no clue what kind of percentages you guys are using on your waves, I'll just throw mine out there as a point of reference. Week 1 Set 1 50% of scheduled max weight Set 2 70% Set 3 85% Set 4 scheduled max weight Set 5 80% Set 6 92.5% Set 7 max weight again (sometimes I may go up or down 5 pounds here if the max set was too hard or too easy) Week 2 Set 1 50% of scheduled max weight Set 2 70% Set 3 85% Set 4 scheduled max weight Set 5 90% Set 6 same as described for Week 1 Week 3 Successive sets of 40%/60%/80% of scheduled Set 1 weight (for 5 reps) Then I follow my prescribed rest period and begin with Set 1.

5 Foods That Help You Sleep - 0 views

  •  
    Should you let yourself have that midnight snack if you're having trouble sleeping and you think hunger might be part of the problem? Here are five foods that can actually help you drift off: 1. Cherries. 2. Bananas. 3. Toast. 4. Oatmeal. 5. Warm milk. 1. "Cherries". Fresh and dried cherries are one of the only natural food sources of melatonin, the chemical that controls the body's internal clock to regulate sleep. Researchers who tested tart cherries and found high levels of melatonin recommend eating them an hour before bedtime or before a trip when you want to sleep on the plane. 2." Bananas". Potassium and magnesium are natural muscle relaxants, and bananas are a good source of both. They also contain the amino acid L-tryptophan, which gets converted to 5-HTP in the brain. The 5-HTP in turn is converted to serotonin (a relaxing neurotransmitter) and melatonin. 3." Toast." Carbohydrate-rich foods trigger insulin production, which induces sleep by speeding up the release of tryptophan and serotonin, two brain chemicals that relax you and send you to sleep.. 4. "Oatmeal". Like toast, a bowl of oatmeal triggers a rise in blood sugar, which in turn triggers insulin production and the release of sleep-inducing brain chemicals 5. Warm milk. Like bananas, milk contains the amino acid L-tryptophan, which turns to 5-HTP and releases relaxing serotonin. It's also high in calcium, which promotes sleep.
