@RodSiegel Really love this thread, not sure on the cycling rpm avg of 110-120 though 🙃

[Bianca Broadbent @thecyclephysio]

@Retlouping I’m gonna go do some more digging, big respect for those guys for orchestrating this research, I imagine there were a lot of headaches along the way 😂

@KayM04945705 @DasD32326537 @Kristin220477 @der_kleene_Mo Passing through Germany, probably Frankfurt, but depends which route we plan :) Euro bike trip from UK to…as far as we can get

[Bianca Broadbent @thecyclephysio]

@KayM04945705 @DasD32326537 @Kristin220477 @der_kleene_Mo Oh god damn it’s in the USA? I will be passing through in August on bikes ;) advice for routes and where to stay would be welcomed!

[Bianca Broadbent @thecyclephysio]

@KayM04945705 @DasD32326537 @Kristin220477 @der_kleene_Mo Haha super, in other news, Frankfurt V Aston Villa (my team) 26.07! https://t.co/R8qGD9zqEN if I come, I can bring you some Avon 😂😂

[Bianca Broadbent @thecyclephysio]

@DrJN_SportsMed Interesting! We know at higher torque generally people will dorsiflex more (and therefore garner more knee extension), wonder if this was a driving factor - as obviously more hilly than the average bike ride.

[Bianca Broadbent @thecyclephysio]

@gem10whitehead He’s carrying an injury apparently

[Bianca Broadbent @thecyclephysio]

@spragg247 :(

[🇨🇩🇸🇱 @8Flavs]

Surely this should’ve been a penalty for Villa, right?

@gem10whitehead Cheeeeeers, PL I can get no problem so long as I’m free

[Bianca Broadbent @thecyclephysio]

Bit annoyed at this @AVFCOfficial - there wasn’t notification when tickets went on sale (kept checking on ticket page, it used to appear there in advance e.g Munich and Celtic) and they sold out within seconds. Have 2 games in the bag by fluke, no way I’m getting a ticket 😢😢😢

@RezaAhm48673826 Hey Reza! I’m not a doctor 😉 but happy to help. Can it wait until March? Maybe you can DM me. I’m not on here often but will check.

[Bianca Broadbent @thecyclephysio]

Super summary.

However one barrier that people seem to miss in elite sport is actually the role of team sponsors in all of this. Do they have a responsibility to promote athlete health and sport longevity? “Short term” saddle issues can cause career long problems.

Good read on females and saddle discomfort, some points below what we have found in our facility in Girona wrt to the female athlete and saddles

[Bianca Broadbent @thecyclephysio]

@Pelotrain Super that you’ve had that experience, unfortunately mine has been the opposite, and that’s with prolific manufacturers, despite evidence and despite written documentation of the long term consequences. One of those being an U21 female.

[Bianca Broadbent @thecyclephysio]

@Pelotrain Nah that’s not what I mean John, I’m referring to the willingness of sponsors to accommodate non “sponsor” saddles in the relevant situations.
