“…Both variables impact the power output and motor control (Morriën, Taylor, & Hettinga, 2017). Previous research addressed this limitation by studying able-bodied participants (Litzenberger, Mally, & Sabo, 2015;Quittmann et al, 2018;Quittmann et al, 2019). Although able-bodied athletes are known to activate lower limb muscles during pedalling and, therefore, use different muscle activation strategies (Kouwijzer, Nooijen, van Breukelen, Janssen, & Groot, 2018), these findings contributed to the understanding of the requirements in para-cycling.…”

“…Although able-bodied athletes are known to activate lower limb muscles during pedalling and, therefore, use different muscle activation strategies (Kouwijzer, Nooijen, van Breukelen, Janssen, & Groot, 2018), these findings contributed to the understanding of the requirements in para-cycling. Additionally, the few existing studies of muscle activity during hand cycling (Faupin, Gorce, Watelain, Meyer, & Thevenon, 2010;Litzenberger et al, 2015;Quittmann et al, 2018;Stone, Mason, Warner, & Goosey-Tolfrey, 2019) also vary in bike geometry, investigated muscles, workload protocol, post-processing, and individual research interests. Thus, generalization of the results as well as a direct comparison between the studies is often not possible.…”

The few studies on muscle timing in hand cycling are difficult to classify in the motor skill acquirement due to their variety of methods and content. This study aims to replicate two existing studies and thus to extend and connect the current state of research concerning the muscle timing during synchronous pedalling. The activity on-and offset of biceps brachii, triceps brachii, posterior deltoid, anterior deltoid, upper trapezius, and pectoralis major were identified during an incremental test of an elite and three novice athletes. The results showed differences in inter-muscular coordination between the elite and novice hand cyclists. Although the distinction between active and inactive phases was already evident in novice data, the activation pattern of the elite athlete showed an even more precise differentiation between these two phases. These time windows remained stable even with increasing load accompanied only by changes in all signal amplitude, except for deltoid activity, which showed a later onset and offset with increasing load. Thus, in training of hand cyclist novices, the muscle timing concerning the duration and the crank position should be considered. In future studies, the effect of handicap severity and crank frequency must be studied in greater detail.
