Abstract

In
Bicycle Motocross (BMX) racing, a fast gate start is crucial for overall race
performance (Rylands2014). The goal of this study was to (1) provide a better
understanding of how cyclists effectively propel the bicycle during BMX gate
start, and (2) identify pedalling variables which are good predictors of a fast
start."
