BIKE 2 - Screening
Bike
•
10m
This screening session provides a set of test exercises to identify areas of weakness, imbalances between the left and right sides of the body and areas with poor flexibility which could both hinder performance on the bike and also lead to injury if left unresolved. We recommend that you complete this screening session before you begin the BikeFit programme and record your test results on the log sheet provided to identify any particular issues that you need to address. If possible get a friend to video record your tests using a phone or tablet so you can review and score each objectively. Then you can repeat the screening session after a period of four to eight weeks to record your new test results and so track your progress and to formulate new objectives.
