Optimal bicycle configuration has been the topic of numerous studies. A majority of these
have investigated the optimal saddle height and have used either static kinematics or two …

Pedal force effectiveness in cycling is usually measured by the ratio of force perpendicular to
the crank (effective force) and total force applied to the pedal (resultant force). Most studies …

Full body kinematics and electromyographic (EMG) patterns may alter based on the
workloads that are encountered during cycling. Understanding the effect of differing …

We expect that this book should provide a primary source for new students in the field of
cycling biomechanics and hopefully an update for those who have been involved for a long …

The purpose of this study was to compare the pedalling technique in road cyclists of different
competitive levels. Eleven professional, thirteen elite and fourteen club cyclists were …

Kinematic analysis of the cycling position is a determining factor in injury prevention and
optimal performance. Fatigue caused by high volume training can alter the kinematics of the …

The optimization of cycling position is essential to improve performance and prevent
overuse injuries. Bike-fitting methods, based on biomechanical variables, have been …

This study examined the influence of regular training in competitive cycling on individual
muscle volume of the thigh and psoas major cross‐sectionally and longitudinally. T 1 …

Background Exercise training has been shown to be beneficial for persons with multiple
sclerosis (MS). Adapted exercise modalities are needed to accommodate those with severe …

Intrinsic factors such as leg length, arm length, flexibility and training history are factors that
may be relevant to the optimisation of the individual bicycle configuration process. Bike …
