GEPEC is interested in topics of biomechanics, motor control and exercise physiology related to cycling in the competitive and clinic context.
 
 
How lateral preference affects lower limbs' performance, including
the role of preference on cycling performance
the influence of preference on postural control
the relatioship between asymmetries and low back pain during stance
the sensorimotor integration and its relationship with laterality during locomotor tasks
 
 
How fatigue decreases performance, including
the effects of fatigue on muscle activation and pedal forces
the changes in joint forces during fatigue
the changes in the coordenative pattern of pedaling during fatigue
the fatigue of low back muscles
 
 
How equipment influence performance and health
the effects of non-circular chainrings on pedaling performance
the infuence of saddles design in comfort while bicycling by measurements of seat pressure over the contact with genital area
the effects of body positioning on performance and risk of injury in cyclists and non-cyclists
