Abstract

Highlights
• Voluntary pedalling was studied in recreationally active individuals.

• Frequency (cadence) and pattern (tangential pedal force profile) was determined.

• Individuals performed 4 weeks of heavy hip extension or flexion strength training.

• Extension training reduced the cadence up to 17% and changed the tangential force.

• This alteration began already after 1 week of training.
