Abstract
Background and introduction: Several studies have been published in the literature analysing the effect of workload on joint moments during pedalling. Most of these studies focus on a single plane, mainly the sagittal plane, or on one joint (the knee). In this work a workload effect analysis is proposed on the three main joints of the lower body and on the three anatomical planes. Usually, this type of study has been carried out using 0D metrics such as the maximum or the variable range. In this work the analysis has been extended by complementing it with a statistical parametric mapping analysis.
Methodology: Ten participants pedalling at 90 rpm and three pedal powers (170, 240 and 310 W) were analysed.
Results: The results obtained show that pedalling power affects the moments in the three joints and in the three anatomical planes.
Discussion: Analysis of the common causes of the main overload injuries that occur in cycling suggests that a three-dimensional analysis of the joint moments of the three main joints of the lower limb, including 0D and 1D data, is useful for the prevention of these injuries.
期刊介绍：
The translation of new discoveries in medicine to clinical routine has never been easy. During the second half of the last century, thanks to the progress in chemistry, biochemistry and pharmacology, we have seen the development and the application of a large number of drugs and devices aimed at the treatment of symptoms, blocking unwanted pathways and, in the case of infectious diseases, fighting the micro-organisms responsible. However, we are facing, today, a dramatic change in the therapeutic approach to pathologies and diseases. Indeed, the challenge of the present and the next decade is to fully restore the physiological status of the diseased organism and to completely regenerate tissue and organs when they are so seriously affected that treatments cannot be limited to the repression of symptoms or to the repair of damage. This is being made possible thanks to the major developments made in basic cell and molecular biology, including stem cell science, growth factor delivery, gene isolation and transfection, the advances in bioengineering and nanotechnology, including development of new biomaterials, biofabrication technologies and use of bioreactors, and the big improvements in diagnostic tools and imaging of cells, tissues and organs.
In today`s world, an enhancement of communication between multidisciplinary experts, together with the promotion of joint projects and close collaborations among scientists, engineers, industry people, regulatory agencies and physicians are absolute requirements for the success of any attempt to develop and clinically apply a new biological therapy or an innovative device involving the collective use of biomaterials, cells and/or bioactive molecules. “Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology” aspires to be a forum for all people involved in the process by bridging the gap too often existing between a discovery in the basic sciences and its clinical application.
