Abstract
Biomechanics of Cycling
The aim of this review paper is to outline the effects of several biomechanical factors on cycling efficiency and safety. The paper begins with a short introduction and listing of basic concepts important for understanding the biomechanics of cycling, followed by an explanation of mechanical forces and torques that are created during pedaling. Workloads and joint movement are detailed in chapter three, which is augmented by chapter four on muscle activation patterns. Throughout the text we have paid careful attention in interpreting the results of research studies into changes in bicycle geometry, feet position, terrain incline and other cycling-related factors. The paper closes with an overview of all issues and solutions as well as presenting proposals for additional research.
