Sleep and aerobic performance
It is already known to many that sleep influences the performance of the endurance athlete or any sport.. But the question is... How long can it affect performance? In this blog post we will tell you what we know to date with scientific evidence from various studies.
Time change or jet lag
Rapid travel across multiple time zones leads to desynchronization of circadian rhythms (also called jet lag).. This mismatch affects performance, both strength and resistance, even giving symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, loss of appetite, i
Aerobic threshold or ventilatory threshold 1
Continuing with the previous post, We will write about one of the first physiological milestones of our metabolism: the aerobic threshold. Before entering this aerobic threshold we must focus mainly on locating it on our metabolism, For this if we look at the three-phase model
Burn out or oversight

Mechanical efficiency
Mechanical efficiency is the relationship between useful energy and energy consumed. In other words, It is the relationship between the amount of energy you consume or need and the amount of energy you can generate. In the case of cycling, is the relationship between the power generated
metabolic pathways
As we know, there are cyclists who do better on the flat and others who do better on the climb.. Some who are good for short increases and others long. Some who can make a very powerful sprint and others who have a hard time starting strong. What are the differences between these [&he
