The influence of bicycle seat height on the mechanical function of the human gastrocnmeius, soleus, and tibialis anterior muscles during steady-rate cycling

Cycling has become a popular model in recent years for the study of muscle mechanics. The purpose of this study was to manipulate bicycle seat heights in order to perturbate muscle lengths and contraction velocities of three lower leg muscles, the soleus, medial gastrocnemius, and tibialis anteri...
