Lower extremity and spine pain in cyclists

The Effect Of Power Output And Cycling Cadence On Lower Extremity EMG Responses In Recreational Cyclists

Preferred cycling cadence (85-95 rpm) is substantially higher than the cadence that minimizes energy expenditure (50-60 rpm) (Coast and Welch, 1985; Marsh and Martin, 1993, 1997; Pugh, 1974; Seabury et al., 1977).

Common presentations of sympathetically mediated pain include vascular insufficiency and peripheral nerve injuries...
