dysmetria anthropometric As a starting point we accept that there is no perfect anatomy and the human body is not perfectly symmetrical therefore presents imperfections or asymmetries. While we consider that some degree of asymmetry is normal, these small flaws on occasion, cause major disruptions that are produced mainly by the repetition of a gesture-based flawed morphological or biomechanical abnormalities. The bicycle is a machine whose engine is the rider, which provides by cycling the drive needed to create movement and such movement. This machine has a longitudinal axis symmetric, if properly mounted, which gives us the possibility to observe the destabilization that can occur each rider.
The sporting gesture is highly conditioned by cycling , with which the rider reaches form an inseparable pair for the practice of this sport. And so, a wrong gesture should be corrected by adjusting the bike to the morphology and physical characteristics of each rider. The pedal is a highly synchronized action that requires a perfect fit. An inequality between the lower extremities unbalanced pelvis leaning to the shortest member. The pelvic vascular breaks the spine and upper and lower joints are destabilized. A small deviation from the correct drive shaft can cause tension in a muscle or tendon. After thousands of miles, their cumulative effect can cause damage difficult to repair . If not corrected these instabilities in the lower limbs are generated desirabilities in the trunk and upper extremities. These decompensation condition the performance and health of the cyclist preventing obtain the highest efficiency of their capabilities , since exhibiting no expression detected symmetric situations neurotransmitter system affected in muscle and joint function and generates a protection mode settings by limiting the term to avoid as far as possible the changes that cause.
We check daily that most of the problems affecting cyclists come from a position error of man over machine, inappropriate use of a material, a inappropriate bicycle or morphological problems own, all of which helps muscle tension and bone-ligament will result in symptoms.
The ideal is to prevent the injury to a study to detect anatomical defects. not always the case. Very often the fault is detected when the injury has occurred and we have to find a cause to be corrected.
It is therefore very important that cyclists, if you want maximum performance within their capabilities, make an adjustment to correct any biomechanical instability and create an optimal position to allow them to achieve effectiveness in a healthy sport to avoid injuries.
addition, the need for postural adjustment on the bike becomes imperative for children aged cycling base to avoid disruptions and ensure that their ability to develop providing growth during the correct stability functional and balanced development allowing their physical values \u200b\u200bgrow in the highest value use without harming their health.
For Paralympic cycling adapted or where there are real asymmetries, it is inevitable to adjust the position so that the limitations do not affect their capabilities by providing greater stability for maximum performance efficiency in terms of its ability.
Ultimately, any defect in coupling to the bicycle can generate, ligaments and level of support, abnormal stresses are potential sources of ignition. Therefore, poor posture on the bike, kept for a long time, are able to alter the normal sports movements and produce diseases will be necessary to diagnose and treat properly.
In my opinion, this information should be taken into account by trainers, coaches, athletes, or parents of child cyclists, thinking about getting the best benefits of a bicycle properly designed to achieve health, performance and / or enjoyment of sport.
I hope this information is useful to prevent problems.
