For that reason, biomechanics of cycling has grown as a research field with many publications addressing different perspective of the interaction between the cyclist and his bicycle. The most common end point of research on biomechanics of cycling is optimization of performance and reduction of injury risk. One goal of this book is to meet the growing need for a comprehensive presentation of contemporary knowledge on biomechanics of cycling which will positively influence the activity of cycling in a global fashion. In order to accomplish this purpose, ten chapters are presented with focus on varying methods for biomechanical analysis of cycling motion. The introduction section provides an overview of the main methods for assessment of cycling motion, including motion analysis, pedal force measurements, muscle activation, anthropometry and joint kinetics. These methods are discussed in depth in individual chapters followed by chapters on characteristics of bicycles and potential perspectives to improve their configuration in order to improve performance of cyclists and reduce their overuse injury risk. Moreover, a preliminary method to train technique in cyclists is shown. A final chapter provides authors perspective on the upcoming technology that should be effective in helping training of cyclists. . 606 $aSports medicine 606 $aHuman anatomy 606 $aHuman physiology 606 $aSports Medicine$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H58005 606 $aAnatomy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H12005 606 $aHuman Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B13004 615 0$aSports medicine. 615 0$aHuman anatomy. 615 0$aHuman physiology. 615 14$aSports Medicine. 615 24$aAnatomy. 615 24$aHuman Physiology. 676 $a610 676 $a611 676 $a612 676 $a617.1027 702 $aBini$b Rodrigo R.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aCarpes$b Felipe P.$4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300080703321 996 $aBiomechanics of Cycling$91521963 997 $aUNINA
