Bicycles have been a common device to enhance physical fitness
level in gyms and training centers along with solid use in
competitive sport. For that reason, biomechanics of cycling has
grown as a research field with many publications addressing
different perspective of the interaction between the cyclist and
his bicycle. The most common end point of research on biomechanics
of cycling is optimization of performance and reduction of injury
risk. One goal of this book is to meet the growing need for a
comprehensive presentation of contemporary knowledge on
biomechanics of cycling which will positively influence the
activity of cycling in a global fashion. In order to accomplish
this purpose, ten chapters are presented with focus on varying
methods for biomechanical analysis of cycling motion. The
introduction section provides an overview of the main methods for
assessment of cycling motion, including motion analysis, pedal
force measurements, muscle activation, anthropometry and joint
kinetics. These methods are discussed in depth in individual
chapters followed by chapters on characteristics of bicycles and
potential perspectives to improve their configuration in order to
improve performance of cyclists and reduce their overuse injury
risk. Moreover, a preliminary method to train technique in cyclists
is shown. A final chapter provides authors perspective on the
upcoming technology that should be effective in helping training of
cyclists.
