When cyclists train consistently, the improvements in performance go beyond just stronger legs or better endurance. A significant part of these gains comes from adaptations in cellular metabolism—how your body produces and uses energy. Training helps your body become more efficient at turning nutrients into fuel, making these metabolic changes crucial for improving cycling performance. … Continue reading Adaptations in Cellular Metabolism Through Training

The Importance of Fat Oxidation in Long-Distance Cycling
Endurance cycling requires your body to efficiently manage and sustain energy over long periods, and one of the key energy systems that comes into play is fat oxidation. Unlike carbohydrates, which provide quick bursts of energy, fat oxidation supplies a slow and steady energy source, making it critical for long rides and ultra-endurance events. Understanding … Continue reading The Importance of Fat Oxidation in Long-Distance Cycling
