Pedalling technique in cycling

developed by MyoKinematics™

A special thanks to Bike Coach and certified 5KineticGears Master | Michael Andersen at Fitness DK Headcoach of the Fitness DK BIKE 2012/2013 Team, preparing for La Marmotte Cyclosportive in France

This video and blog is about the 5KineticGears or in Danish called “De 5 Kinetiske Gear” developped by MyoKinematics™ , providers of high end bike fitting using both kinetic and kinematic assessment methods (Physioinnovation™) used in the biggest fitness chain in Denmark called Fitness DK. This special team within Fitness DK is preparing for La Marmotte next year, a hard mountain cyclosportive next year in the Alps. Since Danish cyclists has a lack of mountains, MyoKinematics™ has developed at unique pedalling technique, that together with a bike fitting helps them to control their muscle coordination better.

The more efficient the cyclists can train the better. This is why we have tried to aim for specific muscle coordination strategies where 3 main factors will give them an advance if they train this after the MyoKinematics™ bike fitting protocol.

1: More muscle fibres will be recruited during changes of position hereby ther ewill be over time an increased aerobic fitness dur to increased endurance in the higher amount of muscle fibres being recruited… Although harder in the beginning, it will pay off! Check it in use during training in the mountains where we have our AlpCamps Sports Institute™

2: More efficient lactate removal from specific muscle groups to another muscle group (Again the more you train these different technique, the higher endurance your muscle fibres will have) If you would like to speed up this process, it is recommended to have a look at Altitude Training (Training in 3500-4200 metres)

3: More fine tuned muscle coordination in as many muscle fibres as possible helps you to sustain a high average power distributed over a longer period*

*Highly individual how many muscle fibres you can recruit, since differences in individual movement capacity, tolerance towards stretch, muscle fibre types etc. This is why we recommend a MyoKinematics™ bike Fitting before entering any sort of training with the 5KineticGears, since we assess not only your position on the bike, but also how much your muscles are working, side differences, power, muscle control and fine coordination of them…

Since the changes in terrain in demanding for road bikers coming to the Alps from the flatland like Denmark, this type of training gives you an advance and develops your ability on the bike.

Highly demanding cyclosportives in the Alps, like the etape du tour, La Marmotte, Maratona del delomities or ötztaler radmarathon are challenging for flatlanders. Since our position is not changing as drastically during pedalling motion on the flats as you are required to in the mountains with its constant changes.

Therefore this type of training called the 5KineticGears that we have developed is highly useful for you that prepares for La Marmotte, etape or other cyclosportive. This training should be conducted after a MyoKinematics™ bike fit, a type of bike fitting that is unique in the way that we look at your muscle coordination with high end muscle monitoring systems called MyoWave® from our Partner in US.

Have a great training and look forward to some sore bum muscles :-)

Wed, 19 Sep 2012 17:25:00 -0400

Here is one of the results of Saturdays MyoKinematics bike fit with Niels Brandt Jorgensen (triathlete). Niels mentioned before the bike fit with the MyoWave, that he had a feeling having a strong and overloaded left hamstring (red line). Well, here is the actual result of what we achieved by training specific pedaling techniques on the hometrainer… (see photo). Yet there was still a big difference in muscle recruitment of the hamstring (red line) compared to the rectus femoris (yellow line) - which is a part of the quadriceps muscle.

Normally in cycling you would see a strong and well defined firing pattern (up and down) from the rectus femoris (yellow line). But here we where faced with a problem that the rectus femoris was too active all the time, but weak compared to the hamstring muscle. This corresponds nicely to what Niels says; that it is like he get’s more tired in his left rectus femoris muscle (yellow line) before the he feels the same fatigue on the opposite side.

The conclusion concerning the Achilles problems on the left side were therefore that Niels was over-firing the left hamstring and hence the posterior muscle chain. This leads to pull and shear forces upon the achilles and hence creating the unbalance that has been resulting in a chronic inflammation since 4 months. We are therefore emphasizing a very well defined pedaling technique program in order to relief the the left hamstring and achilles tendon, as well as strengthening left rectus femoris (yellow line), so we see a more well defined muscle recruitment pattern going up and down as he hamstring is currently doing.

Our guess is that Niels will still be doing a superb performance at hawaii ironman, he is a strong viking, go Niels!

Proud to present the MyoKinematics bike fitting protocol that makes use of MyoWave, a highly sensititve device that measures muscle coordination and differences between up to 6 different muscles at the same time. The technology is called VMG and it is a very smooth and non-invasive way of testing muscles instead of EMG.
