An increasing number of cyclists are coming to understand the importance of adding strength training to their training plans. Effective strength training improves neuromuscular coordination which improves cycling economy. The stronger you are, the more force you can put into the pedals which enables better sprinting and climbing. Stronger fast- and slow-twitch muscle fibers are more fatigue resistant and critical for endurance training. Here are a few tips on how to get the most out of a strength training program.

If you’re a modern human, then you probably spend a lot of time sitting, hunched forward over a computer or steering wheel. As a cyclist, you spend your leisure time sitting, hunched over your handlebars. Prolonged sitting in one posture while avoiding diverse movement robs you of your movement skills and athleticism. Back, knee, hip, shoulder, and other pain may also result from restricted movement. Immobility leads to weakness and fragility.
