Biomechanics of elite handcyclists are highly individual—a case series on kinetics, kinematics, and muscular activity

These findings indicate that the biomechanics of handcycling propulsion are highly individual among elite handcyclists and may be influenced by their classification, handbike setup, and muscular capabilities. We encourage future research to replicate this study in a larger cohort and examine how work distributions and other biomechanical parameters change over time to individualize training prescriptions in athletes.
