https://www.cyclinguk.org/cycle-magazine/pedalling-dynamics The last few sentences plus the reference to unweighting are the important lines in that article. There is no one technique suitable for all the requirements of competitive cycling, but for flat nontechnical TT's the ideal technique...

They should have read the studies carried out on F. Day's POWERCRANKS before starting this study. https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?arnumber=9050412 .

https://www.researchgate.net/publication/338576198_Strategies_for_improving_the_pedaling_technique What I find surprising is nobody has ever raised the question as to why the unweighting technique has never been included in pedalling studies. One explanation can be found in your reply above...

That second 'chair racing' video above should answer both those questions. The perfected forward pedal force generating technique is for use between 11 and 2 o'c, where merging with natural downward force takes place. Start by using the technique at 1 o'c, perfecting means attempting to apply...

Physiological Response to Professional Road Cycling: Climbers vs. Time Trialists Article in International Journal of Sports Medicine 21(7):505-12 · November 2000 with 424 Reads  Abstract The purpose of this study was to identify possible physiological differences between professional cyclists...

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0021929019308474 In that improved aerodynamic version of Anquetil's TT technique lies the only solution for the removal of all lower back stress which together with an imperfect lower back is the root cause of cycling's lower back pain...

"Abstract Cadence or pedal rate is widely accepted as an important factor influencing economy of motion, power output, perceived exertion and the development of fatigue during cycling. As a result, the cadence selected by cyclists could have a significant influence on their performance. Despite...

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17414806 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17414806 That was what I had figured out Alex as to why pedal force effectiveness is increased at higher power output and reduced at higher pedalling cadences.

Had to change username from backdoor to frontdoor. Posts of yours I missed. There is nothing hidden about Hinault's pedalling technique. He gave a detailed explanation of it in his book over 30 years ago. His pedalling around BDC was identical to Anquetil's, Quote, " Thigh movement is...
