Patellofemoral pain in cyclists
… that deals with patellofemoral pain in cyclists. The second aim was to investigate the possibility of reducing media-lateral deviation during the down stroke of cycling, by altering the biomechanics of the lower limb and, to observe the effect of this reduction on patellofemoral pain in …

Cyclists' rights to the city: The realisation of cyclists' rights in the city of Johannesburg
… The research is based on the notion that cyclists, like all other road users, have an equal right to the city. Therefore, planning for cyclists in cities should be awarded the same level of importance as planning for other modes of transport. However, having a right to city is, to a large …

Improving roundabouts for cyclists and visually impaired
… related to roundabouts; the traffic safety for cyclists is unclear or even negative and there are reports of accessibility problems for people with visual impairment. The overall objective of this project is to identify designs that improve the situation for these two groups of road users in …

Assessment of joint kinetics in elite sprint cyclists
… the joint kinetics of elite trained track sprint cyclists. To provide the basis for selecting appropriate testing procedures, study one evaluated differences between two- and three- dimensional techniques while assessing joint kinetics of seated and standing sprint cycling at optimal cadence (the …

Delivering Justice: Food Delivery Cyclists in New York City
<p>In New York City (NYC), food delivery cyclists ride the streets all day and night long to provide convenient, affordable, hot food to New Yorkers. These working cyclists are often Latino or Asian male immigrants who are situated within intersectional and interlocking systems of global migration …

Pacing strategy optimization for time trial cyclists with physiological constraints
… optimization of pacing strategies for time-trial cyclists by integrating physiological constraints with course-specific environmental factors. Two complementary methods are developed: one directly optimizes velocity profiles using total energy expenditure as a proxy for current energy, while the …

The performance analysis of power output in professional male road cyclists
… seasonal changes in power output of professional cyclists were also examined (Study Five). Study One calculated the frequency distribution of maximal power output (POpeak) values during road cycling events over different topography categories and analysed the power output 600 s prior to POpeak …

Internal and external load monitoring in well-trained and professional cyclists
… to training in well-trained and professional cyclists with acceptable validity and reliability. Pre-existing data, already uploaded onto two online registries, was retrospectively analysed. Data from 258 SFTs were analysed from 20 well-trained and professional cyclists, whereby objective and …

The epidemiology and risk associated with lower back pain in cyclists
… 1) the epidemiology and 2) the nature of LBP in cyclists, and 3) possible risk factors associated with LBP in cyclists. In the second research part, a case control study was conducted, to investigate the association between LBP in cyclists and 1) flexibility and 2) anthropometric measurements, …

Variations in pedalling technique of competitive cyclists: the effect on biological efficiency
… amongst exercise scientists, coaches and cyclists for over 100 years. Biomechanically, it has been shown that orienting the pedal tangentially to the direction of motion of the crank provides the greatest force effectiveness. This is commonly referred to as "ankling". Ankling may enable …

A mixed-method approach to low energy availability in elite track cyclists
… semi-structured interviews from a sub-set of the cyclists, following the physiological data at T₁. The interviews covered topics in the context of RED-S such as menstruation, body image, nutrition, and injury/illness. These topics were chosen as they had been previously identified in the …

Participation in professional cycling : the experiences of young cyclists from disadvantaged communities
… twofold: to help youth develop their skills as cyclists; and to enable them to develop their potential as human resources through their participation in the programme. Taking an occupational perspective, it has been proposed that occupational engagement in meaningful occupations can contribute …

USER INTERFACE CHANGES IN VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS AFFECT THE PERCEIVED RESPONSES OF INDOOR CYCLISTS
Virtual reality is becoming mainstream in areas such as entertainment, medicine and training. However, the affect on a user’s perceived states are still to be fully understood. This study aims to add to the existing body of research by examining changes in user interfaces and the affect on …

The Effect of Blinded Hydration State on Thermoregulation and Performance in Male Cyclists
… hydration status. Methods: Study 1: Seven male cyclists (weight: 71±8 kg, body fat: 14±6%, VO2peak: 59.4±6 ml∙kg-1·min-1) exercised for 2 hours on a cycle ergometer at 55% VO2peak, in a hot-dry environment (35°C, 30% rh), with a nasogastric (NG) tube under euhydrated (EUH-NT) and hypohydrated …

Exploring image recognition: applying convoluted neural networks and learning to recognize safe cyclists
"Today, there is a need to focus on the mobility revolution that is currently taking place. With the advent of more intelligent data gathering, there is also a growing need for using existing technology and infrastructure to achieve this goal, without incorporating expensive, complicated systems. …

Cognitive strategies as a function of effort in elite, average and recreational cyclists
… status, on associative strategy use in cyclists. Subjects consisted of 8 elite, 8 average, and 8 recreational cyclists (n = 24). A light weight micro-cassette recorder was used to document the subjects' verbalized thoughts while training. Effort was measured by the rating of percieved …
