Graphic for muscle recruitment comparing standing/sitting?

Anyone have a link to any graphics or info about the detailed muscle
differences between riding while sitting or standing?

I googled this and find many mentions of the muscle use being
"different" but no details. It might even be using much the same
muscles but with different intensities in different locations. A
graphic could use different colors to show different intensities. I've
seen these graphics showing the muscle use for activities, so I'm
thinking there's something out there comparing sitting/standing.

Thanks, JP

This is a question of hip angle, and there is likely much information on
this in the context of weight training and muscle recruitment.

Dear Jeff,

It's not quite what you want, but Analytic Cycling has a calculator
with hip, thigh, and shin lengths in relation to the bottom bracket,
with a graphic:

Scroll down on the left-hand window for the rider diagram.

That is a lot more than I expected to be available!

(Is "googled" a verb now?)

Dear Chris,

When I googled for "googled," I found only 6 million hits:

http://www.google.com/search?as_q=go...s=&safe=images

People often think that dictionaries and grammarians create language,
instead of the other way around. This theory might honor Dr. Johnson,
but it leaves English in the era before him in the condition of the
people described by Bierce as:

"PRE-ADAMITE, n. One of an experimental and apparently unsatisfactory
race that antedated Creation and lived under conditions not easily
conceived. Melsius believed them to have inhabited "the Void" and to
have been something intermediate between fishes and birds. Little its
known of them beyond the fact that they supplied Cain with a wife and
theologians with a controversy."

Shakespeare [1] decided that he liked the way "incarnadine" sounded,
even though it wasn't a word until he thought of it:

"Will all great Neptune's ocean wash this blood
Clean from my hand? No, this my hand will rather
The multitudinous seas incarnadine,
Making the green one red."

And if Heminges and Condell [2] hadn't scraped the First Folio
together years later in 1623 with the only version that we have of
"Macbeth," we never would have had the word "incarnadine."

See the last paragraph he

http://www.esmerel.com/circle/wordlore/gruntled.html

It's "disgruntling" to multitudinous "editors."

If google ain't a verb, it can pinch-hit until we find one.

Cheers,

Carl Fogaile

Cool. Thanks. Yeah, no muscles, but it shows how forces change with
rider position. Interesting. I'm slow enough that I don't understand
the whole diagram. I see how the downstroke forces are represented but
don't understand the "short" forces going "inside" the circle for the
upstroke. Anyone have an explanation?
