The electroproduction of pions off protons close to threshold is studied within the framework of baryon chiral perturbation theory. The approach is based on the fundamental QCD property that at low energies the strong interactions are dictated by the spontaneously broken chiral symmetry. The calculation was done up to the 1-loop level by carrying out order-by-order renormalization procedures. A thorough study of the low-energy theorems related to electroproduction of pions was carried out. Our study showed how the axial radius of the nucleon can be related to the S-wave multipoles E{sub 0+}{sup (-)} and L{sub 0+}{sup (-)}.
