Brand awareness of obstacle course racing events
… purchase and purchase intentions for three major obstacle course event companies (Tough Mudder, Spartan Race, and The Warrior Dash). The study also examined the influence of consumer characteristics (demographic and past behavior) on satisfaction and the satisfaction–repurchase relationship among …

Psychosocial Motivators for Obstacle Course Racing: A Qualitative Case Study
… motivations of adult female and male obstacle course racers. A qualitative case study approach was used to explore the views, experiences, and motivations of obstacle course racing (OCR) participants. Descriptive statistics and cross tabulation was used to interpret responses to the …

A Cross-Comparison of the Contributions of Obstacle Course Training and Extended Motor Ability Development to Physical Fitness and Motor Ability
This study measured the changes in physical fitness and motor ability that occurred among comparable groups who participated in two different physical education programs. Specifically the study determined what changes in physical fitness and motor ability development occurred among sophomore boys …

Single molecule analysis of DNA electrophoresis in microdevices
… require either 1) a DNA molecule negotiating an obstacle course in a microchannel or 2) stretching a DNA molecule for linear analysis. The goal of this research is to experimentally probe the fundamental physics that underlie these DNA mapping designs. Furthermore, we present a continuous …

Line Detection and Lane Following for an Autonomous Mobile Robot
… robots to autonomously navigate a complex obstacle course. The roadway-type course is bounded by solid and broken white and yellow lines. Along the course, the vehicle encounters obstacles, painted potholes, a ramp and a sand pit. The success of the robot is usually determined by the …

Using Color and Shape Analysis for Boundary Line Extraction in Autonomous Vehicle Applications
… IGVC are expected to autonomously navigate an obstacle course. Competing vehicles need to recognize and stay between lines painted on grass or pavement. The research presented in this document describes two methods used for boundary line extraction: color-based object extraction, and shape …

The function of modified echolocation pulses in horseshoe bats (Family: Rhinolophidae)
… conducted during which bats were flown on an obstacle course to determine if modified pulses adversely affected the ranging ability of bats. If so, bats should not emit modified echolocation pulses in conditions, like an obstacle course, that require precise ranging information. R. capensis …

Comparing the use of technology-based vs traditional team building interventions in developing group problem-solving and learning behaviours: insights from two experimental studies
… the traditional team building activity was an obstacle course. Each team was assessed, after the team building interventions, on their group problem-solving skills and team cohesiveness in order to determine if there was a significant difference between the scores of the two dimensions above …

Constraint-based navigation for safe, shared control of ground vehicles
… multiple agents traversing an environment with obstacles. A method for predicting the threat posed to the vehicle given the current driver action, present state of the environment, and modeled vehicle dynamics is also presented. This threat assessment method, and the shared control approach it …
