The measurement of the partial pressure of penile transcutaneous oxygen (PtcO2) in 29 healthy voluntary cyclists was recorded to investigate the differences of compression from two different saddles on the vascular structures of the perineum. The PtcO2 was recorded at 3 and 10 minutes in conditions of static sitting. Then, the values of PtcO2 were recorded for 15 minutes while the cyclists were in a 60-degree position and in stable hemodynamic conditions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Results<\/strong>\u00a0 A t-test was performed to measure the level of confidence. The clear superiority of the SMP saddle in preventing vascular compression of the perineal structures was demonstrated to be statistically significant. Conclusion. The experiment validated the effectiveness of the SMP saddle in limiting the compression on the pelvic floor. In addition, the SMP saddle introduces compatible seat dimensions that cyclists prefer to cover long distances.<\/p>\n<p><strong>To read the complete study click here\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.sellesmp.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/download\/development-of-a-new-geometric-bicycle-saddle.pdf\">https:\/\/www.sellesmp.com\/media\/wysiwyg\/download\/development-of-a-new-geometric-bicycle-saddle.pdf<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When thinking about your next bike saddle it\u2019s important to not just consider short term comfort but the long term benefits of using the right saddle.\u00a0Having been creating some of the\u00a0world&#8217;s most respected bike saddles for more than 70-years, ergonomics are front and foremost in the design of every Selle SMP model.
