Presentation Transcript

  1. Perfect Bicycle Adjustment Use Cyclefit to find your ideal bike position.

  2. This presentation: • Why the ideal bike position? • Backgrounds Performance, muscles, pedal movement • Determine position

  3. Why is it so important to ride with the ideal position ? Part 1

  4. Goal • Faster biking • Longer biking • Less fatigue

  5. For who? • Sports orientated Cyclist • Mileage freaks • Occasional bikers

  6. Incorrect bike position can lead to: • Knee problems • Achillestendon complaints • Back problems • Painfull arms, shoulders and neck

  7. Determine position to… • Optimum perfomance • Musclefunctioning • Breathing • Aerodynamics • Relaxed and painless rides under all cicumstances (sprints, climbs, descents, timetrials)

  8. Backgrounds performanceparameters, in particular muscle and pedal pace. Part 2

  9. Performanceparameters • Muscle functions • Levers • Breathing • Biomechanica • Aerodynamica • Comfort

  10. Muscle Conditions: • Energysupply (Fat, Carbonhydrates) • Blood- andoxygen supply • Reach of the movement • Pretension before maximum effort

  11. Pedal pace Slide Tension Pull Push Max. Force

  12. Movements • „Picking“ Pedal movement from top till bottom • „Kicking“ Rotation of the shinbone around the knee • „Piano“ Movement of the feet

  13. Muscles related to pedaling: Stretching (1,2 and 3) Bending (4,5 and 6) • Calves 2. Quads • Calves • Adduscors • Glutes • Lats

  14. Pedal pace rotation:

  15. Pace • The full rotation leads to a gradual load and unload of all muscles involved. • Ideal combination of: • Picking- • Kicking- • Piano

  16. Determine position Part 3

  17. Incorrect bike position can lead to: • Knee problems • Achillestendon complaints • Back problems • Painfull arms, shoulders and neck

  18. Incorrect position of the saddle: • Too high • Moving on the sadle • Noefficient pedalling • Overload of knee • Too low • overload on the knees • Too far to the front • Unfavourable lever, overload on the knees • Too far to the back • Unfavourable lever

  19. Sitting parameters • Position of the foot • Angle in knee joint • Positioning hips • Positioning of the back • Arm position • Body gravity centre

  20. Positionparameter • Seat height • Saddleheight • Saddle lay back • Handle position • Length • Height • Cranklength

  21. The ideal position • Knee angle of 145°-155° (pedal in lowest position) • Knee joints above pedal axle (cranks horizontal) • Angle sholder/upperarmapprox. 90° • Angle elbow jointapprox. 160°

  22. How to get to the ideal position: • Adjustment and try outs • Mathematics

  23. Cyclefit calculation • individual • simpel • reproductive • Scientifically proven • Field experience

  24. Taking measurement Saddle position: Innerleg length, upperleg length , foot length • Position of the handlebar chestlength, Armlengthand Schoulderwidth Fast, simpeland reproductive

  25. Calculation A programm will calculate in a split second the ideal position takening into account: Bicycle type Comfort Sex Pedalsystem

  26. Accurate Scientifically proven Field expierence Result

  27. High seatpositioning (not too high) Full force development without over streching. Streched seatpositioning (not overstreched) overstrekt) Streched back for good oxygen intake Correct arm angle for more comfort and to prevent fatigue Relaxed neck muscles Aerodynamic position Cyclefitpositioning

  28. Cyclefit • Precise measurement • Exact adjustment • Beter biking Perfect Bicycle Adjustment
