The effect of saddle design on stresses in the perineum during cycling

Article Abstract:

Research shows that adequately wider saddles are recommended to support the ischial tuberosities and to reduce stress within the perineum. Data suggest that a saddle at least two times wider than the bi-ischial width of the cyclist is considered a wide saddle. Furthermore, stresses in the anterior of the perineum can be reduced by tilting the saddle downward.

The effect of loading conditions on stress in the barefooted heel pad

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to quantify the relationship between magnitude of force, time to peak force, and sole angle with internal stresses in the heel using a finite element model. The results of the model indicate that compressive stress is localized in the region inferior to the calcaneal tuberosity.

Effect of bicycle saddle designs on the pressure to the perineum of the bicyclist

Article Abstract:

Comparison of three saddle designs to a traditional road racing saddle was done in terms of pressure in the groin region of the cyclist. Results recommend a saddle without the narrow protruding hose to reduce pressure to the perineum of the cyclist.
