Abstract
A cycling step is an important element of motor activity recommended as a post-rehabilitation motor regime. Free bipedal walking is the decisive motor stereotype for the pelvis girdle.
The free bipedal walking is the result of phylogenesis and human postural motor ontogenesis. However, this is not valid for the cycling step, where the power is generated on an artificial machine.
The research aim, done through the surface electromyography in terrain, was to observe selected muscles during the cycling in saddle and cycling downhill off the saddle. Cycling off the saddle is not very favorite by common bicycle riders due to its discomfort.
Results show certain changes in observed muscle inclusion and confirm the recommendation of a cycling step during cycling off the saddle in the post-rehabilitation motor regime.
