| Research Abstract |
This study proposes a method for the setting of saddle height of competitive bicycle by focusing on the muscle activity patterns among the lower limb muscles during pedaling exercise. This study first constructed an experimental system that dynamically changes the saddle height of a cycle road racer. Consequently, this study investigated that the translation of muscle activity patterns of a skilled cyclist according to the changes in saddle height. As the results, it revealed that the skilled cyclist appreciates the saddle height that relatively reduces the variance of muscle activity among his lower limb muscles.
