A Study to Determine if Body Position (Aerobar or Upright) Influences Quadriceps Oxygenation during Exercise in Cyclists

Overview

About this study

The purpose of this study is to verify this finding in a cohort of experienced cyclist. If the aerobar position indeed decreases quadriceps oxygen saturation, there can be implications for musculoskeletal fatigue and/or athletic performance.
