Aerodynamics has such a profound impact on cycling performance at the elite level that it
has infiltrated almost every aspect of the sport from riding position and styles, equipment …

The last decades have seen an increasing interest in cycling aerodynamics, with the design
of more aerodynamic bicycles and wearable equipment such as helmets and skinsuits and …

Different professional cyclists use very different hill descent positions, which indicates that
prior to the present study, there was no consensus on which position is really superior, and …

In a team time trial (TTT), the main strategy is based on drafting, where team members
alternately take the lead while others ride behind the leading cyclist. TTTs can contain up to …

Cycling performance models are used to study rider and sport characteristics to better
understand performance determinants and optimise competition outcomes. Performance …

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

A few riders have adopted a rather exceptional and more aerodynamic sprint position where
the torso is held low and nearly horizontal and close to the handle bar to reduce the frontal …

Competitive hand-cycling represents a unique case for cycling aerodynamics as the athletes
are in a relatively aerodynamic position in comparison to traditional able-bodied cyclists …

To reduce air resistance, time trial cyclists and triathletes lower their torso angle. The aim of
this study was to investigate the effect of lowering time trial torso angle positions on muscle …

An athlete's riding posture is a key element for aerodynamic drag in cycling. Tandem cycling
has the complication of having two athletes in close proximity to each other on a single …
