Abstract. Dynamic pressure plays an important role in the cyclists’ performance and comfort. To qualitatively analyze dynamic pressure of male lower limb with compression cycling shorts in continuous cycling motion, a novel approach was developed to characterize dynamic pressure. Four pressure measurement points were selected based on skeletal muscle simulation. It was found that pressure was dynamic during cycling, and the maximum dynamic pressure at four points was produced when pedal was at the top. Pressure gradually non-linear rose with ease allowance reduction. Dynamic pressure significantly associated with muscle activation. The investigation will contribute to theoretical guidance for clothing engineers to improve pressure comfort and motor performance.
