Description
Cycling has become an increasingly popular activity among people in their 40s, 50s, and 60s, with many choosing it as a way to stay healthy and active in later life. However, as athletes age, their bodies undergo significant changes that can impact their performance on the bike. This book, written by cycling biomechanics pioneer Phil Cavell, offers a practical guide for mature cyclists who want to stay healthy, avoid injury, and maximize their achievement levels. With the help of medical experts, leading coaches, and pro-team doctors, Cavell provides a comprehensive roadmap for cyclists who aim to train, perform, and even race at the highest possible level. The book explores the physical implications of hard training, the use of sport medication, and specific training methods to combat the effects of aging on the human body.
