Methods to determine saddle height

In 2011, we published a narrative review exploring methods to determine bicycle saddle height and implications in terms of performance and injury risk. This paper has been used extensively as a reference for other studies but was clearly outdated in relation to new data that was produced since its publication. We decided that it would be important to appraise evidence produce during the last 10 years in this topic and understand how much we advanced in this topic. Our systematic review published in the Journal of Sports Sciences demonstrated that there was good progress in supporting dynamic methods to determine bicycle saddle height and further references suggesting that changes in saddle height less than 4% of leg length do not affect cycling performance or injury risk. However, it was clear that longitudinal studies are needed to explore further how cyclists adapt to changes in saddle height.
