Tuttavia una ottima posizione in termini aerodinamici comporta una postura meno confortevole e meno efficiente a livello respiratorio ed a livello circolatorio. Si è osservato infatti che in posizione aerodinamica tende a ridursi il flusso di sangue che coinvolge gli arti inferiori a causa delle elevate compressioni che si producono sul soprasella. Tale riduzione di flusso sanguigno (e linfatico) è fortemente contenibile se si adotta una sella idonea, progettata e costruita proprio per assetti cosidetti aerodinamici.

E' il caso ad esempio delle selle ISM (ideal seat modification) per le quali è stato condotto un interessantissimo test presso l'Università di Amburgo. Queste particolari selle senza "naso" e dalla forma particolarmente anatomica hanno dimostrato, rispetto a selle tradizionali, di consentire al ciclista di mantenere posizioni aerodinamiche senza produrre compressioni che riducano il flusso circolatorio negli arti inferiori.

Qui di seguito alcuni dettagli circa il risultato dei test condotti su queste formidabili selle.

April 4, 2009 New Article by National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health.  Here’s an interesting read on the health benefits of no nose saddles vs. traditional saddles.

On September 5, 2006 we traveled to the University of Hamburg to have the new Adamo Road saddle and the Adamo Racing saddle tested by noted German urologist Dr. Frank Sommer. At the conclusion of the testing Dr. Sommer was pleased with our results and congratulated Steve on his design and achievements. Dr. Sommer stated, "A saddle where there is hardly any blood loss. Which is excellent to preserve sexuality and for preventing erectile dysfunction."

Why are we so confident the ISM™ is a medically superior seat?

On an annual basis, bicycle riding involves several hundred million people worldwide. Studies have linked perineal pressure caused by straddling traditional bicycle seats to numbness, urinary tract and yeast infections, prostate inflammation and impotence. For male riders, in addition to the discomfort and numbness associated with a traditional saddle, there is an increased susceptibility to restricted blood flow, which can lead to arterial occlusion and permanent erectile dysfunction. For women, the restricted blood flow and hardening of the genital arteries can lead to an inability to reach orgasm. It has been found that as little as 11% of a person’s body weight can compress the genital artery!

In November 2004, Steve Toll took the ISM™ to Germany, to be tested by Dr. Frank Sommer at the University of Cologne.  Dr. Sommer is a noted expert in the area of arterial occlusion resulting from bicycle saddles.

While normal testing involves a 15-minute ride on a saddle, the test using the ISM™ was discontinued after 12 minutes.  Why?  Dr. Sommer commented, “It doesn’t get any better than this.”  In fact, blood flow in the perineum area remained at 100% throughout the test with the ISM™, a mark rarely seen in bicycle saddle testing.

In addition, Dr. Sommer’s prior research has indicated that some saddles restrict blood flow in the perineum area by as much as 95% within the first minute of a ride.  Other studies indicate that such restriction over a long period can result in permanent erectile damage.

The ISM™ is a first-of-its-kind seat.  If a family is in your future, or you’re simply tired of the pain and discomfort associated with a traditional saddle, rest your bones on the ISM™.  It’s medically better for you.
