Might she also need to do a little dorsi-flexion work?

For example, with the exercise bike, tell her to pull up against the strap on the recovery stroke, not just push down on the power stroke. This is how pro cyclists pedal, they generate a lot of power on the upstroke, not just pushing down only, on front pedal, but simultainiously lifting back pedal. This way, the dorsi-flexors and hamstrings and hip flexors are working a lot, not just the quads and glutes during the cycling.

How do you know this about pro cyclists? And how does this “up phase” contribute to hamstrings’ extra work?
