MOTION AND TRAINING
WHY MOTION?
Endurance. Power.
Technique.
When these three core skills come together, riders
have the key ingredients to reach their maximum
performance potential. Though endurance and
power are universally used as the basis for
cycling training, technique has been a challenging
element to measure. Skills such as pedaling,
positioning, breathing, muscle de-tension,
cornering, and sprinting are all qualitative cycling
elements.
Thankfully, coaches know good pedaling skills
and form when they witness it. With the TYPER’s Motion Performance Indicators, or MPIs,
coaches will now have actual values to validate
their observations. MPIs give an edge to their
assessments by making them more precise,
more communicable, and more trackable. MPIs
measure various motions related to cycling, and
using them, coaches and athletes can:
• Perform a deep analysis of movement versus power, cadence,
and fatigue.
• Establish baselines for various physical conditions and
situations.
• Discover clues to improving both tness and technique.
Since everyone’s bodies and riding environments
are different, each person has their own baseline
values, similar to FTP. LEOMO is working with
world-class coaches and research centers to
continue to improve and expand MPIs to help
coaches zero in on the analysis of technique.

SCORE
The center value shows the total sum of
magnitudes (measured in degrees/sec) of the
dead spots that occurred in a single pedaling cycle.
Each dead spot is represented along the pedaling
stroke, with the size showing the magnitude of
deviation from a smooth angular velocity.
Left DSS (total for one cycle)
Right DSS (total for one cycle)
Dead spot Location and Magnitude (Dark Circle =
Last cycle, Light Circle = Previous cycles)
Summary
Dead Spot Scores (DSS) pinpoint the magnitude
and locations where pedaling velocities lack
smoothness along the left and right pedaling
cycle.
- Lack of smoothness is a secondary symptom of
sub-optimal pedaling motions.
- Looking at the right and left DSS values provides
insight to left/right movement imbalances.
DETAILS
A “dead spot” is where pedaling power is lost
when sub-optimally shifting from one movement
pattern to another during a pedaling stroke (such
as the shift between the power and recovery
phase).
Optimal pedaling motions are smooth and apply
less stress to the body than sub-optimal pedaling
motions. DSS is measured by the foot’s angular
velocity, where any deviation from a smooth
angular velocity sine curve is considered a dead
spot. Each dead spot is represented along the
pedaling cycle by a lled circle, and a circle’s size
indicates the magnitude of deviation.
Since dead spots are caused by many factors, a
trained coach must nd the primary cause of a
high DSS. One known cause of a high DSS is the
overuse of less powerful secondary muscles (such
as hamstrings) over larger primary muscles (such
as the glutes).

Left Leg Angular Range
Right Leg Angular Range
Summary
Leg Angular Range measures how much the thighs
move up and down while pedaling.
- Looking at right and left Leg AR values provides
insight to left/right movement imbalances.
DETAILS
The Leg Angular Range is calculated by subtracting
the angle of the thigh at its lowest point from
its highest point. An athlete should attempt
to maximize their Leg Angular Range without
sacricing a stable pelvic tilt or an aggressive torso
angle. Leg Angular Range should not be increased
using incorrect form or bad bike t, such as by
hyper-extension of the knee, a low saddle height,
increasing the Foot Angular Range, by crank
lengthening, etc.
SCORE
The up-to-down angular range of the left and right
thighs (with the hip as the vertex) along a pedaling
stroke, in degrees.

Summary
Foot Angular Range measures how much the heel
moves up and down while pedaling.
- Looking at the right and left Foot AR values
provides insight to left/right movement
imbalances.
DETAILS
The Foot Angular Range is calculated by
subtracting the angle of the foot at its lowest
point from its highest point. This score is mainly
used for characterizing an athlete’s pedaling. The
bigger the Foot Angular Range, the higher the
heels rise during the 9 - 12 o’clock phase, and the
more that ankling occurs between 0 - 6 o’clock.
SCORE
The up-to-down angular range of the foot (with
the pedal as the vertex) along a pedaling stroke,
in degrees. The lower the range, the easier it is for
the leg to transfer power to the pedal.

Summary
Foot Angular Range (Q1) shows the foot angular
range of the rst quadrant of the pedaling cycle -
12 o’clock to 3 o’clock position.
- Looking at the right and left Foot AR (Q1)
values provides insight to left/right movement
imbalances.
DETAILS
A large FAR Q1 shows that the cyclist pushes
down hard after the 12 o’clock position, creating
a thrust around the 1 and 2 o’clock positions. By
pushing down earlier near the 12 o’clock position,
the cyclist minimizes the total angle the foot shifts
between the 12 - 3 o’clock position.
SCORE
Foot Angular Range (Q1) measures the range of
angular movement that occurs between the 12
and 3 o’clock position. The higher the range, the
longer the delay for the “push down” motion to
start for the power phase.

Pelvic Tilt
Summary
Pelvic Tilt measures how much the pelvis is tilted
upwards.
DETAILS
Each cyclist has a dierent neutral pelvic
alignment. Finding a natural pelvis position
engages the core muscles and reduces lumbar
spine strain. Coaches have observed that riders
with an upright Pelvic Tilt have a higher chance of
back injury.
If the pelvis is tilted too far back, lumbar strain can
occur, and if the pelvis is tilted too far forward,
maximum Leg Angular Range cannot be achieved.
Also, posterior rotation of the pelvis reduces
power generation capability.
SCORE
The front-to-back (z-axis) angle of the hip. Straight
up is 90 degrees, while 0 degrees is parallel to the
ground.
