First of all, we must know that incorrect riding posture will not save our strength, but will damage our joints during long-term riding. What is the correct riding posture?
(1) Cushion setting: According to the person standing on the ground, the cushion shall reach the hip joint. When stepping down to the lowest point, the leg will straighten and bend slightly. It can be floated according to personal habits. This can make the legs more complete, save energy, and make riding more efficient. Many people think that you need to be able to step on the ground while sitting on a cushion. In fact, this is wrong, because the low part of the cushion is conducive to exerting strength, and this may even cause injuries for a long time.
(2) Correct riding posture: The upper body should be lower, and the head should be slightly tilted forward; the arms should be bent naturally to facilitate waist arch flexion, lower the body's center of gravity, and prevent the impact caused by the bumps of the car from being transmitted. Whole body; light but strong grip with both hands, buttocks sit firmly on the seat.
(3) Second pedaling: At present, some elite athletes mostly adopt free pedaling method. This kind of pedaling method means that the angle of the ankle joint changes according to the different parts of the foot during the course of one rotation of the foot. Free-style pedaling conforms to the principle of mechanics. The direction of force is consistent with the circular tangent formed when the pedal is rotated. This reduces the motion range of the knee joint and thigh, which is beneficial to increase the pedaling frequency, pass the critical zone naturally, and reduce the dead point. . The thigh muscles can also be relatively relaxed!
