To compare the different configurations of ‘posture
length’ with guidelines from Peveler , the ankle, knee and hip flexion/extension angle were measured
for each trial from the motion capture system while the pedal attained the BDC (bottom dead centre)
position, i.e. lowest position of the pedal with crank angle at 180°. Treatment of data was conducted
offline using a custom Matlab (Mathworks Inc, Novi, USA) analysis package.
