Pedaling Technique Changes with Force Feedback Training in Competitive Cyclists: Preliminary Study

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Biomechanics of Cycling

Abstract

To ascertain if using pedal force feedback would enhance force effectiveness and also result in better performance in cycling, we compared two types of pedal force feedback during training on 4-km cycling time trial performance. Two types of feedback were used: overall pedal force effectiveness during pedal revolution or peak normal force applied to the pedal. Our preliminary target was to assess the feasibility of using pedal force feedback during training at high intensity exercise (i.e. 4-km time trial) to improve pedal force effectiveness and performance in cycling.
