Gerardo Lozano, who holds a degree in Podiatry from the University of Extremadura, is one of the most respected professionals in the field of cycling biomechanics in Spain and Portugal. With extensive experience in sports podiatry and pedal stroke biomechanical analysis, he has spent years working with elite athletes at Clínica Podotec, where he combines clinical expertise with the latest technology in professional bike fitting.
Currently, Gerardo serves as the official podiatrist for Sporting Clube Campomaiorense (Portugal) and advises numerous triathletes and professional cyclists. His clients include well-known athletes such as Miriam Cabeza (Spanish and European champion), Juanjo Lobato (sprint specialist), Nuno Bico (Movistar team recruit), and David Arroyo (second overall in the 2010 Giro d’Italia). His expertise has earned him the position of lead biomechanical advisor for the Caja Rural-Seguros RGA team, one of Spain’s top professional cycling teams.
Applied biomechanics in cycling: advanced technology for performance
Gerardo Lozano’s success lies in his scientific and data-driven approach to bike fitting. After starting with the Retül system, he took a major leap forward by incorporating the Cycling 3DMA system by STT Systems—a powerful solution for real-time 3D biomechanical analysis that captures detailed data on pedal stroke, posture, and movement while the cyclist rides.
The Cycling 3DMA system uses infrared cameras and reflective markers to track motion without the need for any cables or wearable batteries, allowing the cyclist to ride naturally. It generates objective data, kinematic graphs, and HD video synchronized with 3D movement, making the work of the bike fitting specialist both easier and more accurate.
Measurable results and improved cycling performance
We are achieving outstanding results with our athletes, says Gerardo Lozano. “With this technology, it’s much easier to find perfection both in body movement and in the cycling equipment used.” Thanks to Cycling 3DMA, the bike fit is more precise, the recommendations are more tailored, and the improvements in performance, injury prevention, and cycling comfort are clearly noticeable.
STT Systems and the future of cycling motion analysis
More and more bike fitters and cycling biomechanics professionals are trusting STT Systems to bring 3D motion capture technology into their clinics, labs, and specialized cycling stores. Gerardo Lozano is a clear example of how combining sports podiatry, motion analysis technology, and a passion for cycling can generate real value for both amateur riders and elite cyclists.
