A quantitative flow visualization technique for on-site sport aerodynamics optimization
Aerodynamics plays a crucial role in cycling as in many other speed sports. Aerodynamic investigation is required primarily for two reasons: 1. Optimization of the athletes’ posture and equipment geometry (e.g. bicycl...
Attitudes towards doping in Spanish competitive female Cyclists vs. Triathletes
The aim of the present study was to know and compare the attitudes towards doping in Spanish competitive female cyclists and triathletes. All the female cyclists and triathletes who competed (U23 and elite) under license...
Muscular fatigue of the lower limb and subsequent joint angle adaptations during a 16.1km cycling time trial
Background: Effective muscular recruitment during cycling is crucial to optimising performance. As such, much research has examined when muscles are active during the pedal revolution and how muscle co-activation may in...
Physiological characteristics of elite vs non-elite enduro mountain bike cyclists
Enduro mountain bike racing debuted internationally in 2013 as the Enduro World Series (EWS). Riders compete individually on multiple timed predominantly downhill stages and travel generally uphill between stages eithe...
Reliability of power meter calibration by mathematical modelling of treadmill cycling
Background & Purpose. In cycling, several physiological values are taken into account to evaluate the performance level of each athlete and/or to plan his training program. One of these values is the maximal power output...
