Description
Summary:The study was performed in order to determine the effect of power performance when saddle height position is set to preferred saddle height, a knee flexion of 25° to 35° specification, a 2% higher and lower to the 25° to 35° specification, since little is known on the effect of changing saddle height position towards power performance. Seven subjects (N=7) of age below 21 years old who are currently the national junior cyclists performed in the present study. Wingate test was conducted by using a “Wattbike Pro” and Holmes method was used to measure the 25°-35° knee angle specification. Post hoc test revealed a significant effect (/?=.O5) between PS and 1SS on PPO but there were no significant effect on the other saddle height for both PPO and MPO.
