Biomechanical braking test:

Institut català del peu and Julia Muñoz de Pilotos DAR join to start a new and unique project in Spain and Europe on biomechanic in motorcycling sports.

Braking is one of the most important gestures in driving and often the one that makes the difference between two pilots, two positions. The biomechanical assessment of braking performance, based on scientific evidence, arises to demonstrate that the physical performance of motorcycle pilots is measurable in this action and, based on their results, we can help them improve and how to.

The test consists of a test on the CKU simulator with load to evaluate the performance of a pilot in the braking gesture. To do this we use different biomechanical techniques such as muscle electromyography and 3D photogrammetry, and, in addition, other techniques such as the quantitative assessment of forces or qualitative scales of effort.

Improvable aspects and how to work them correctly:

While the pilot is doing the test, we measure different parameters through biomechanical instrumental techniques. For example, through electromyography we measure and find how the muscles involved are activated and how they change. What allows us to know how and when it comes to a possible muscular fatigue in the braking action, when and in what phase, knowing the weak points of the pilot and, therefore, which one’s should work more and how to work them.

Photogrammetric analysis system:

At the same time of the electromyographic record, we record the movement through 3D photogrammetry, which allows us to know parameters such as angles in the lower train and, mainly, higher in the different phases of the braking action, how those angles change during the test due to the muscular stress to which the pilot is subjected, the speeds and accelerations in the movements … and the importance in their changes is objectified as the effort begins to be demanding, knowing in which muscles we should focus and how.

List of aspects taken into consideration:

There are other very important parameters in the measurement of the performance of a pilot, the maximum strength, the resistance to the effort, the level of perceived effort, the loss of strength after the test… and others, such as the level of concentration, coordination, fatigue…

Points to improve:

The overall results of the test allow us to know what a pilot should improve to improve braking. Since this test allows us to know if it is necessary to reinforce specific muscles, muscle groups, resistance strength, maximum strength, explosive force or other measured parameters.

Is a test for speed pilots, from ages 15-16, professional and amateur level pilots. It can be applied at any time of the season, but the ideal is to make 3 assessments. One in pre-season, another at the beginning of the season and another at the beginning of the second half of the season. In this way we can plan a season, with concrete, feasible and measurable objectives.
