The art of cycling without pain

11/30/2018

0 Comments

 
Sometimes cycling is considered a painful sport but it is possible to understand the origin of pain and massively improving the quality of our ride.  
Low back, buttock, neck, knees, feet, hips, wrists: All these part of body can suffer from  pain, discomfort, pins and needles while we pedal. There is always an answer to these pains and possible action to take to resolve the problem, from improving our flexibility with exercises to change the stem.

Why we are still using long cranks?

Shorter cranks are very beneficial to avoid an extreme hip flexion when pedal at the top position. Also, the short length is helping an aerodynamic position.

Bike fit session with electromyography and power stroke analysis

11/6/2018

0 Comments

 
Electromyography (EMG) analysis support the bike fitting process revealing muscles (quads, hams, glutes) activation during cycling. In this session EMG (see fig.1) revealed a decreased strength at left glute  compared to right glute. This has impact on pedal stroke as you can see in fig.2 where is shown circa 30 watts difference between right and left pedal stroke.
