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.
