Google Scholar that pragmatically addressed the question: “how do movement and muscle recruitment patterns differ between highly-trained and lesser-trained cyclists?”. Our studies were designed to provide meaningful, clinically relevant information to readers involved in the management of performance and injury in cyclists, and have been published on this basis. We purposefully did not write our papers from “an information processing theoretical perspective”, and they did not seek to investigate “controllable chaos theory” or “attractor states”, nor were they clouded by predetermined “default assumptions”. The theoretical basis of our studies has been outlined in detail in our earlier papers and is clearly referred to in our short report (e.g. introduction, first sentence).
