By Alison Addy Strength training for a cyclist is directly related to his levels of performance. He needs to be given proper training in order to become professional cyclist. Cycling is a part of aerobic activity. Road cycling is an enduring sport that demands a lot of aerobic activity from a potential road cyclist. The physiological and mechanical variables are tested. This is revealed by the high oxygen uptake and power output values shown by professional cyclists both at maximal and sub-maximal exercise intensities. A research conducted in Australia showed the importance of strength training for cyclists. A hack squat apparatus for weight lifting ... Read Full Story

The next few weeks include some big events in the MN/WI area, including Ironman Wisconsin, the Chequamegon Fat Tire Fest MTB races and the Jesse James Days rides. These events will likely be the culmination of a full year of training and racing, and will end the season for many athletes. The final taper is a critical component to going into these key events fit, fresh and race-ready. This taper is also a difficult time for many. After training long and hard, it’s tough for many athletes to back off and have a really, really easy day. And to ask them to have 2 ... Read Full Story

By Alison Addy Body-Similar to other sports cycling is also a great sport that demands great fitness levels for the cyclists. The success of the cyclist in a professional tournament will depend on the fitness level that he has. There are several tests that are used to test the fitness level of the cyclists. The most important feature in determining the endurance level of a cyclist depends on high maximal oxygen uptake and peak aerobic power output that may prove beneficial. In concurrence with this is the ability to sustain a high economy of motion. The cyclist will use least amount of oxygen to ... Read Full Story
