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

Abstract: 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 participated in five experimental sessions corresponding to different bodyweights (80%, 100%, or 120%) and cadences (5… Show more

“…√ M 2 represents the Euclidian norm of the vector. Using this cost-function it has been possible to define the power-output at which the standing position should be chosen over the seated position [44,45] (i.e., when comparing the cost of the two techniques over a wide range of powers there is a clear point or a clear power-output, at which the standing position becomes the optimal position). Cost functions have been suggested to be useful to define individualized bike settings for cyclists or to monitor the effects of training, fatigue and rehabilitation, for example [46], but further investigations are needed.…”
