title = "Preliminary study on the evaluation of musculoskeletal risk of static-cycling instructors using infrared thermography",
abstract = "Currently, sports activities are considered occupational activities. Cyclists are vulnerable to develop musculoskeletal injuries related to overuse. A static-cycling instructor can teach professional cycling from 3 to 4 h a day. Constantly, they suffer discomfort and pain in the back. The purpose of this work is to develop a protocol to monitor the temperature of the skin at the back of static-cycling practitioners. The study was conducted by monitoring the temperature of the skin in the back, using infrared thermography. Three men and three women participated practicing static-cycling, the first thermal image was taken at rest, and then thermal images were taken every 15 min. The experimental work was carried out using two different types of bicycles. The data obtained in this study may be useful for the design of new products that enhance comfort in cyclists in order to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injuries.",
