to pedal in a hard gear and extend one arm the cyclist is asked to resist a downward push on their arm on u201c go u201d after warning with u201c ready set go u201d if the cyclist is unable to resist the physical challenge and almost all uncompensated riders are unable to one starts testing each leg separately as described herein most cyclists will be riding without any wedges orthoses or arch support insoles in place effectively starting with zero correction if the cyclist has some existing corrective measure such as those described above a greater or sometimes a lesser amount of compensatory correction is typically required once a cyclist is testing favourably when exerting force with each leg in turn the amount of compensation can be confirmed by repeating the test while seated on a bicycle mounted on a stationary trainer which supports the bicycle in a stationary position and provides a resistance to pedalling occasionally a cyclist fails the test on a bicycle mounted in a stationary trainer and the compensation has to be adjusted accordingly typically a cyclist responds favourably to testing on the testing frame 400 yet is unable to replicate this favourable response on the saddle of a bicycle mounted in a stationary trainer due to being unable to sit symmetrically on the saddle when testing off the bicycle mounted in a stationary trainer namely with a testing frame 400 the cyclist is typically sitting on a large flat topped stool or similar seat which inherently squares the cyclist 39 s hips and pelvis on a bicycle under load some cyclists are unable to sit with a balanced pelvic orientation for a range of reasons if the cyclist.
