Ergonomics is all
around us
2011 Bike Position 2016 Bike Position
- Seat height higher: allows more hip/glut extension- promoting use of cycling specific muscles/ saving running specific muscles; also allows more rotation at pelvis- reducing lumbar spine flexion
- Larger frame size in 2016: allows body to assume a lower position and relax over frame, as opposed to holding self upright over smaller frame space and allows more control of the bike
- Aerobar extension end changes: more support for upper body allowing neck/shoulders to relax
- Upper body stretched out: reaching forward with arms and pushing back with butt: lead to strain/ tension on back/neck/ shoulders
- Sitting very upright; in a position where he is having to brace and hold himself on the bike. Very forward in seat: creating stress and overuse on the running muscles
- Upper back very hunched/ rounded-long-term lead to upper and lower back injury as well as neck and shoulder tension from holding upper back in this position
- In a position where she can relax her entire back/neck/ shoulders and create power from the primary cycling muscles
