简要总结
Need of the study
Previous studies identified the relationship between the performance and various factors like crank length, physiological and psychological factors which can influence the performance of the cyclist. However there is paucity of studies focusing on relationship of knee range of motion, saddle height and performance.
Aim of the studyThe aim of the current study is to find the relationship among knee range of motion, saddle height and performance of elite cyclists.
cycling performance can’t be evaluated by single factor, so in depth study on interrelation of performance with different variables had became obligatory.
Total of three saddle heights will be assessed, of which two saddle heights will be based on the knee angle i.e., 250 and 350 with crank at bottom dead center irrespective of the anthropometric measures and third saddle height at 109% inseam is applied. After assessing how the performance, saddle height are related, knee range of motion will be assessed.
