Hey guys,
Just wondering if anyone has come across any research/studies/literature on unicycling.
I am interested in any possible research on unicycles and cardiovascular fitness, health, concentration and learning, balance, etc.
Studies I have found so far are.
Biomechanics
Can a Bicycle Create a Unicycle Track
On the stability and control of unicycles
Unicycles and Bifurications - more biomechanics
Psychology
Sex, Aggression, and Humour: Responses to Unicycling
Other
Unicycle Injuries in the United States - Safety of unicycles compared to cycling
The NZ Unicycle site says
In Korea, people buy unicycles because research there has shown that you learn faster, have higher intelligence and better health. In Japan the vast majority of school children learn to ride. It is a part of the standard curriculum. Just as juggling is known to prove hand-eye coordination, unicycling improves balance and motor skills.
Is anyone aware of where this research could be found?
Thanks
I forget where but there’s a site that has logged average learning times (total hrs), compared w/ age. Avg = 14 hrs if I remember correctly.
I noticed juggling practice helped my unicyling learning & retention and visa/versa, piano too.

I found that:
Unicycle training and equilibrium function—Body-sway-research-no.-37–_1993_Equilibrium-Research,-Supplement
Japanese article about vestibular system research and how it improves if you unicycling (for 10-12 years old children).
research…
I’m glad other people are thinking about the special advantages unicycles can/could/might bring.
