A new test battery to assess bike handling skills of experienced and inexperienced cyclists
Background: Bike handling skills aimed to maintain balance are important to prevent falling off the bike and/or crashing into obstacles. Past research on dynamics and control of bicycles is inconclusive on how human bala...
The effects of block training periodization on pacing during 20-km cycling time trial
Several studies have been proposed to accumulate consecutive days (5 to 14 days) of high intensity interval training (HIT) to rapidly enhance physiological indexes, alpine sky performance and cycling performance. The co...
Validity of Track Aero System to assess aerodynamic drag in professional cyclists
Purpose: Aerodynamic drag is the main resistance (80-90 %) among the total resistive forces (RT, N) opposing motion on level ground in cycling. It is important to decrease it to improve the performance in time-trial (TT)...
Qualitative body composition of cyclists: bioimpedance vector analysis discriminates different categories of cyclists
Bioelectrical impedance vector analysis (BIVA) and the phase-angle (PA), derived from bioelectrical impedance raw values (i.e., resistance, R, and reactance, Xc) allow qualitative and descriptive assessments of body comp...
An online survey using social media investigating the use of kinesiology type tape and McConnell type tape with clinicians who treat cycling related knee pain
Background: From high profile events such as the Tour De France and the Olympics, it is noticeable that kinesiology type taping (KTT) is used widely within elite cycling for treatment of knee pain. Taping is a clinical t...
