%X This paper presents a study regarding the involvement of lower limb muscle groups in a pedal cycle and the existence of differences in the use of normal or automatic pedals. This case study led to finding very useful results concerning the recovery of specific muscle groups, identifying the degree to which each muscle group goes into action and where it acts with the highest intensity. The parameters followed were: resting muscle tone, maximum muscle tone while pedaling and the involvement of muscle groups of the lower limb while pedaling. By comparing the two pedaling modes, namely normal pedals and automatic pedals, we have found a change in intensity (¦ÌV) in using some muscle groups in the case of automatic pedals.
