Journal Title: Antropomotoryka. Journal of Kinesiology and Exercise Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 24, Issue 68
Abstract
Purpose: Cycling is a sport in which the risk of overload and injuries is very high. The aim of the work was to perform a movement analysis of tandem track cyclists with a video system.Basic procedures: Male and female tandem track cyclists of the Polish national team were examined. To evaluate the position of the track cyclist at rest and during track cycling, a CONTEMPLAS video movement analysis system was used. Trunk angle, elbow angle, hip angle, knee angle and ankle angle were measured. Data analysis was performed using Microsoft Excel 2010 and Statistica v.10. The level of statistical significance was p=0.05.Main findings: Statistically significant differences with regard to the hip joint were observed between the position of the cyclist at rest and during track cycling. No significant differences regarding the trunk, elbow joint, knee joint or ankle joint were observed whether the cyclist was on the track or a cycle trainer. Conclusion: Interpretation of the results obtained from the use of objective movement analysis contribute to the individualization of therapy and training.
