The most common reason that we see retul bike fit clients is due to lower back pain or upper neck pain discomfort when cycling. There may be many underlying causes for the discomfort but most can be alleviated or resolved completely if you can achieve a bike position with a relatively neutral spinal position. This is most commonly achieved through selecting the right saddle.
Onebody is excited to announce new additions to the Onebody Junior Development Program. Today we unveil our new triathlon junior race suit design, and introduce 2 new sponsors in bike manufacturer Argon 18 and Fulcrum wheels.
We commonly see bike fit clients that struggle to fit on standard geometry frames because their current bike position has them riding with a significant number of spacers and a stem with a positive angle. For many clients, the reason that they need to sit so upright on a bike has nothing to do with the frame – it’s due to their saddle selection.
Selecting the right saddle and placing it in the right position is essential to providing the most powerful and comfortable bike fit position. The right saddle selection allows the pelvis to be well supported while providing a spinal position that alleviates strain and stress through the lumbar, thoracic and cervical regions.
Mobility refers to the “the ability to move or to be moved freely”. This is in relation to the joint itself and its capability to move. With multiple joints used during swimming, bike riding and running, it is important to maximise the joint space
How you swim and your swim technique is a major influence on how efficiently and effective you are in the water. Swimming with a good technique can improve your speed but also reduce the effort you are expending.
Power Meters are a powerful tool for racing and training. A key objective in training with a Power meter is increasing Functional Threshold Power (FTP – greatest power a rider can sustain for 60 minutes). However, as important is the ability to ride more efficiently through improved cycling behaviour, training with a power meter can help achieve this.
