“…São elas: as interfaces pelve-selim, mãos-guidão e sapatilha-pedal (COHEN, 1993;DE VEY MESTDAGH, 1998;SILBERMAN et al, 2005;BU et al, 2010;XIANG et al, 2011). Embora na figura 1 não esteja representado, outra possibilidade de posicionamento da mão do ciclista é sobre os manetes e parte superior do guidão.…”

“…Salai et al (1999) relatam que a incidência e gravidade de lombalgia pode ser reduzida em 72% dos casos se a extremidade anterior do selim for inclinada de 10 a 15° para baixo. A alteração da inclinação do selim como conduta para resolver a lombalgia é questionada por Goméz-Puerto et al (2008) e pode, ainda, desencadear dor nas mãos (KRONISCH, 1998a;SILBERMAN et al, 2005) por aumentar a pressão na região tenar e hipotenar. Por outro lado, um guidão relativamente baixo pode estar relacionado a um reduzido ângulo da mesa (PRUITT; MATHENY, 2006) e ainda ser o responsável por acentuar a flexão de tronco, aumentando a tensão nas estruturas musculoesqueléticas da região lombar (ASPLUND; WEBB; BARKDULL, 2005).…”

“…In order to avoid future injuries, it is not only the style of riding and its intensity that have to be modified, but also saddle position and angle, handlebars position, frame size and pedal system [13,17]. Warm-up and stretching after cycling are recommended, because if all the anomalies are not eradicated, the pain will return.…”

“…Overuse injuries occur in bicycle riders who regularly ride their bicycle [7,9]. Overuse and acute injuries can be caused by unsuitable preparation for cycling (lack of warm-up, use of wrong equipment), poor riding technique, including inappropriate body position [10,11,12,13]. The nature of the terrain used for riding a bicycle also affects the injury incidence (falling from a bicycle, vibration) [4,7].…”

Introduction. The number of cyclists increases each year. Some people treat cycling as a passion and practice it at every possible occasion, while for others it is a mean of transport or a form of relaxation at the weekend. However, very few people realize that cycling can also have a negative impact on their health. Objective. To assess the prevalence of lower extremity and spine pain in cyclists, and evaluate the influence of various factors causing it. Materials and method. The study was performed on 167 subjects during amateur cycling competitions in the Greater Poland and Kuyavian-Pomeranian Provinces. A specially prepared questionnaire was used in the study. The questions related to the pain caused by cycling, the character and the localization of the pain, and the presence of warm-up and stretching. Results. Knee pain was reported in 40% of the study subjects (mostly anterior pain -26%). Spine pain was reported in 41% of the studied athletes, where 26% was related with the lumbar spine. Variables, such as age, weight, age, BMI, training experience and number of hours devoted to training per week had no influence on the incidence and the localization of leg pain, but it had influence in the case of spine pain. Stretching after cycling was the factor which significantly distinguished the studied groups with regard to the incidence of knee pain. Conclusions. The most common type of leg pain was knee pain (anterior knee pain) whereas spine pain was most commonly reported in the lumbar spine. Statistical analysis showed that spine pain is more often reported by people who are older, have higher weight, and people who spend more time training per week. Warm-up and stretching after cycling are recommended to cyclists who experience pain.

“…Furthermore, most patients have their own traditional bikes which can later be used to continue the rehabilitation. Therefore, researchers in biomechanics cooperate with physical therapists to prevent the adverse consequences of cycling [12,13,14], examine the effect of saddle height on knee joint load [15], and improve rehabilitation protocols [16].…”

Introduction. The aim of this study was to measure the duration of biopotentials in selected muscles of the lower limbs, evaluate the time of elevated bioelectrical activity in these muscles, and identify similarities and differences in electrical phenomena that occur in the muscles for various external settings of a cycle ergometer. Material and methods. The study examined 10 healthy people (5 women and 5 men) aged from 20 to 30 years. A cycle ergometer and EMG apparatus were used in the experiment. The bioelectrical activity of six muscles of the lower limbs (rectus femoris, vastus medialis, tibialis anterior, biceps femoris, gastrocnemius caput mediale, and gastrocnemius caput laterale) was recorded for four different settings of the cycle ergometer (variable saddle height and method of foot attachment to pedals). The EMG records were presented with reference to the bicycle crankset rotation cycle. Conclusions. The study found that changing the height of the saddle of the cycle ergometer and the use of toe clips in the pedals caused changes in bioelectrical activity in the muscles. The adjustment of saddle height affected the duration of potentials more noticeably than the use of toe clips. Furthermore, only one period of elevated electrical activity in the muscles of the lower limbs was found in the pedalling cycle. The longest time of the presence of action potentials was recorded for the m. gastrocnemius caput laterale, whereas the shortest time was observed in the m. vastus medialis.
