Abstract

In this study, we developed a system to evaluate pedaling techniques of cycling. The system analyzes the magnitude and directions of pedaling force. The pedaling force was measured by new designed biaxial load cells which were applied to between pedals and shoes. This load cells were able to measure magnitude and direction of pedaling forces of both pedals, respectively. To evaluate the direction of the pedaling forces, pedal angle was calculated by the link mechanism of lower limbs. The length of the each element of lower limbs, length of crank and position of greater trochanter were supposed to be given as constant parameter for computational calculation. The pedaling forces were converted to forces on coordinate respective to tangential and radial directions of each crank. Evaluation method of pedaling techniques was proposed by the force decomposed
