Recording Setup
Capture clean rear and side clips so tracking is stable and the report is accurate.
- Rear view first: place the camera directly behind the bike so both hips, knees, and shoulders stay fully visible through multiple pedal cycles.
- Sagittal view second: place the camera perpendicular to the bike on the rider's left side to measure joint angles at top and bottom pedal positions.
- Camera settings: record at 60 fps and 1080p whenever possible, with bright lighting and minimal motion blur.
- Stable framing: use a tripod or fixed support and keep the full rider in frame from shoulder to foot.
- Consistent effort: pedal at a steady cadence and resistance for 10-20 seconds per view so the averages represent typical riding mechanics.
BDC means bottom dead center (pedal at the 6 o'clock position). TDC means top dead center (pedal at the 12 o'clock position).
