How to calculate the size of your bike.

By -

Usually this is deduced from the experience of trying several bikes, many years riding, etc.

Choosing the size that suits a mountain or road bike is easier than choosing size on a BMX bike.

On the mountain bike you just have to be guided by the length of the legs and the total height of the body, but on the bmx bike is much more complex because you have to study your driving style and see what suits you or you like .

The size of the bmx bike makes the technique of performing technical gestures much different. For example: to make a manual, it will be much easier with a short distance bicycle between the wheels. The large distance bicycles between wheels are much more stable, for those are used in the Olympic format (exit ramp of 8 meters of altitude )

There is a page that offers help so that the beginner people are not confused of size and can maneuver well with his bicycle. In this page you enter data like the sex and the height and it introduces you in a page where it shows the measures of frame (top tube) and of cranks. The page itself advises that it is preferable to go to a specialized center or shop.

This is an example of the calculations that the page does, entering my data:

Rider: Adult, Male
Height (cm): 1.80 cm

• Results:

Frame: 22 "56cm (top tube)
Cranks: 185mm

What is a sport training?

According to the elementary principles of adaptation of the human being to the external environment, in order for the organism to improve its physical performance, it is necessary that it faces new stimuli that provoke new reactions (adaptations). These stimuli constitute the training load. The burden of training is understood as the set of biological and psychological demands brought about by training activities. This means that the load has to be measured and evaluated in a double plane. The stimulus must be measured by its magnitude and characteristics. The magnitude is represented by the product of amplitude and the time of application of said amplitude. The application time results from the duration of each repetition multiplied by the number of total repetitions. 1. Volume: It should be expressed by the number of repetitions performed. The total number of repetitions depends on the number of exercises, the repetitions per set, the sets per session and the frequency of the ...

FORCE TRAINING PART 1

1. Anatomical adaptation (AA) The objective of the AA phase is the progressive adaptation of the muscles, and especially of the muscular insertions in the bones, in order to withstand with greater dacilidad loads heavier during the following phases of the training. Thus, blogging burden of training should increase without the athletes feeling discomfort. The simplest method is the force circuit, because it provides an organized structure and alternates the various muscles. CIRCUIT TRAINING This type of training can sometimes be used to develop cardiorespiratory endurance, as well as strength combinations during the Anatomical Adaptations phase. - Design of the program (example): 1. • Half squats • Push-ups • Mastered • Hip extensions • Small jumps with both legs • Strides 2. • Go upstairs • Abdominals with bent knees • Trunk elevations • Jumps to a bench and to the ground • Complete squats • Medicinal ball launches 3. • Press legs • Press banking • Inclined...

Do you want to know how muscles work?

Introducing video: How our muscles work Muscle contraction is produced by an interaction of the protein molecules of actin and myosin, which in turn occurs due to the sliding between thick and thin myofilaments, this sliding causes a decrease in the amplitude of band A and zone H. Calcium (Ca) is the link between excitement and contraction of a muscle. The sarcoplasmic reticulum is specialized for its storage and release of calcium through the T system. When a nerve signal arrives at the muscle cell, a release of calcium is initiated into the fluid surrounding the filaments from special storage vesicles in the reticulum Sarcoplasmic, when combined with troponin, initiates the elimination of an impediment for a potential interaction between the actin and myosin filaments. In any case, the tropomyosin, which in the resting muscle has turned off the active sites of actin, can now activate them; In turn the actin can activate the ATP hydrolysis of the myosin heads. This allows ...
