ATP Production: How Your Body Fuels Your Rides
Every pedal stroke you make on the bike is powered by a remarkable molecule called ATP (adenosine triphosphate). Whether you're sprinting to the finish line or grinding through a long climb, ATP is the energy currency your body uses to fuel every action. Understanding how your body produces and uses ATP can help you optimize … Continue reading ATP Production: How Your Body Fuels Your Rides
Cellular Metabolism 101: The Basics for Cyclists
When you think about improving your cycling performance, you probably focus on training, nutrition, and recovery. But at the heart of it all is something happening on a much smaller scale: cellular metabolism. This process fuels every pedal stroke and powers your body through intense climbs and long endurance rides. Understanding how your body converts … Continue reading Cellular Metabolism 101: The Basics for Cyclists
