In the last years, several studies have been focused on understanding how the central
nervous system controls muscles to perform a specific motor task. Although it still remains an …

Featured Application This review could help researchers, trainers and cyclists to better
understand the complex link between classic biomechanical variables and cycling …

The brachioradialis muscle (BRD) is one of the main elbow flexors and is often assessed by
surface electromyography (sEMG) in physiology, clinical, sports, ergonomics, and …

The present study aimed to evaluate and compare the levels of electromyographic activation
in the pectoralis major, anterior deltoid, triceps brachii, forearm, rectus abdominis, external …

Cycling is a “common” task considered relatively intuitive and hence easy to perform by
everybody. Although pedaling represents a typical multi-joint movement characterized by …

Objectives When compared to seated, the standing position allows the production of higher
power outputs during intense cycling. We hypothesized that muscle coordination could …

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 …

Purpose This study aimed to test the effects of posture (seated and nonseated) and cadence
(70 and 120 rpm) on joint power contributions, effective mechanical advantage, and muscle …

Sprinting plays a significant role in determining the results of road cycling races worldwide.
However, currently, there is a lack of systematic research into the kinematics of sprint …

The purpose of this study was to analyze the lower-limb muscle synergies of young and
older adults during stationary cycling across various mechanical conditions to reveal …
