Determining optimal cadence for an individual road cyclist from field data

The cadence that maximises power output developed at the crank by an individual cyclist is conventionally determined using a laboratory test. The purpose of this study was two-fold: (i) to show that such a cadence, which we call the optimal cadence, can be determined using power output, heart-rate, and cadence measured in the field and (ii) to describe methodology to do so. For an individual cy...

Physical fitness and performances of an amputee cycling world champion: a case study.

PURPOSE To describe the physical fitness of a top-level lower limb amputee (LLA) cyclist and paracycling time-trial (TT) race demands. METHODS The 40-y-old male unilateral transfemoral amputee TT World Champion was tested in a laboratory for peak oxygen uptake (VO2peak), ventilatory threshold (VT2), power output (PO), and hemoglobin mass (Hb-mass). Moreover, several measures (eg, PO, heart ra...

Modification of the spontaneous seat-to-stand transition in cycling with bodyweight and cadence variations.

When a high power output is required in cycling, a spontaneous transition by the cyclist from a seated to a standing position generally occurs. In this study, by varying the cadence and cyclist bodyweight, we tested whether the transition is better explained by the greater power economy of a standing position or by the emergence of mechanical constraints that force cyclists to stand. Ten males ...

Low cadence interval training at moderate intensity does not improve cycling performance in highly trained veteran cyclists

PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to investigate effects of low cadence training at moderate intensity on aerobic capacity, cycling performance, gross efficiency, freely chosen cadence, and leg strength in veteran cyclists. METHOD Twenty-two well trained veteran cyclists [age: 47 ± 6 years, maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max): 57.9 ± 3.7 ml · kg(-1) · min(-1)] were randomized into two ...

Measuring cycling kinematics using a low - cost , flashing LED , multi - camera approach by

In this thesis a low cost motion capture approach is presented and applied to measure cyclists’ kinematics. The motion capture system consists of low cost hardware and custom developed software. Based on still-frame, off-the-shelf digital cameras, the method represents a solution which is accessible to the average athlete. With the exception of off-the-shelf digital cameras the total cost of th...
