Technical pedaling piston



While in college "Teaching Cycling first course" taught us that the pedaling in piston is when doing the pedaling round but with the tip of the foot in front of the heel, which is a higher percentage of effort at the time of low pedal, about 85/90%. In this round pedaling can be 70%.

Both texts and other specialized courses, as they explain how they call pedaling in single piston when it is down force, or 100%.

They also claim that is triggered when the cyclist or triathlete they stand to climb a port or a good slope.

cycling in the triathlon The technique seriously short in the upper downturn, the heel is below the tip of the foot. When is a quarter of a lap down, the fingers are used to rotate your foot down harder on the levers muscle in the round pedaling. When we pushed back and then up the check should this ever to a higher level on the edge in order to pull up. (Summarized J. Ballesteros)

By experience, knowledge and practices I think I can say that the confusion comes from the two ways in which the call is made pedaling in piston, if the broker is sitting and what it does is advance the tip of the foot and forcing the downward motion, to suppose that a higher percentage of that when we push the pedal round. And another way is when the athlete is put on its feet and then only makes the push downwards. Since then the thrust of 100%

The obvious confusion above the pedal in danceo, to be pedaling in the piston when it is done standing on the bike.

To end this dilemma, pedaling in the piston is when seated on the bike forward is the tip on the heel of the foot to make a greater percentage of force on the crank in the movement towards below both legs. Leaving the movement backwards, upwards and forwards in the second grade. But not in a dead prostitute total as serious pedaling in the rolling piston or pedaling on foot.
