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 …

The most common bike fitting method to set the seat height is based on the knee angle when
the pedal is in its lowest position, ie bottom dead centre (BDC). However, there is no …

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 effects of saddle height on pedal forces and joint kinetics (eg mechanical work) are
unclear. Therefore, we assessed the effects of saddle height on pedal forces, joint …

Although the link between sagittal plane motion and exercise intensity has been highlighted,
no study assessed if different workloads lead to changes in three-dimensional cycling …

Simple Summary There is a necessity to measure body asymmetries in road cycling as it can
directly impact the performance level. The present study aimed to identify the morphological …

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 …

The cycling literature is filled with reports of electromyography (EMG) analyses for a better
understanding of muscle function during cycling. This research is not just limited to …

An anthropometric analysis was conducted on 64 competitive young male road cyclists of
different age categories (U17; U19; & U23 years of age). The purpose of the study is to find …

Knee flexion angle is used to determine saddle height during pedaling. However, it is
unclear how knee flexion angle at upright standing posture affects measures and …
