The cycling in the triathlon

Technical round pedaling

Any triathlete has to learn the technique called " round pedaling," but it's really a square pedaling. But first we are going to the basics.

When pedaleamos and pushed the pedal down, we use a large force of both our own weight and large muscles of the thighs (quadriceps) of the muscle groups are stronger than we have in the body. This moment of force (when pushed down) what scholars mark as between 70% and 80% of the total strength of a pedal round. But where is the other 30 or 40% of the force?

If we use that 30% or 40% more force we must learn to push back and pull up and then forward. It's like a square, rather than a round pedaling.

How do the pedaling round First push down, then backwards, then shooting up and finish pushing forward. And back again. The example of the manuals coaches is typical of hours of a clock. If we imagine that is the hand crank hours of a clock, the process would be further explained as follows: From one to five: strong push down. Of the five to seven: pulled back. From seven to eleven: pulled upwards. From eleven to one: pushed forward.

It is clear that one has to have anchors, anchors try to compete without really losing a lot of your energy and your time. Do not be afraid, you come home safe to the floor several times without the anchoring release you but with a few falls and training you resultada quick to put his foot on the ground before the head. Practice draw foot much quicker, before a beginner road with circulation of cars.
