Influence of different body position and bicycle setup on muscles activity and joint kinematics during cycling (IR)

The current study investigated how saddle setup and body positions may influence muscle activity and joint kinematics. All 16 recreationally active participants have been tested in an upright and drop body positions. In each body positions tested, participants went through four different saddle setu...

In each body positions tested, participants went through four different saddle setup for determination of which saddle setup influence the most of the muscle activity and cycling kinematics.
