Fatigue is inherent to cycling. The specific card reckons with this and proposes a series of programmes targeted to solve the major part of the problems related to the training methods of this sport. Essentially, the physical aspects useful for the cyclist can be reassumed in this way:
* Aerobic endurance
* Rapid endurance strength
* Rapid strength
We purposely wrote them separately to indicate the percentage on the value scale. We must not omit to say that there has been an evolution towards muscle strengthening and therefore also of the physical aspects related to dynamic characteristics of the technical gesture, but this counts for all sports disciplines. Moreover, cycling was and remains an aerobic activity where the muscle masses require great development. Their definition and the optimum relation between thin mass and muscle strength is the winning mix for a correct approach of this sport. Obviously, there are character features that should not be ignored. They are basic for certain aspects and must compete determinedly in order to obtain a complete picture of the winning athlete, especially in a sport like this one, where sacrifice is essential, training is very tough and races are exhausting. The races in laps in particular, represent the essence of a sport that does not allow the athlete to let up and for many this is fascinating, because the hero performs under the eyes of the public like in a real war epopee. The insider knows that behind these sensational results and great performances there are training programmes that are studied around the table and thousands and thousands of kilometers by bike who has become a travel mate and an extension of the soul. For the cyclist, there is no better training system than running a long road and only little time is dedicated to dry work.
Electrostimulation offers unique opportunities to the cyclist for it allows him to optimise and diversify the exercises he needs to amplify the result obtained after lots of kilometers by bike, working in a specific and sectorial way on a few muscle districts that show a deficit, or re-touching with rapid strength the frequencies of activation of muscle contractions of the white fibres that on the bicycle are not particularly stimulated. Or, moreover, insisting on Aerobic Endurance, maybe when there is a pouring rain outside and one does not want to repeat the training session. This last observation offers the basis to note that physical problems related to typical pathologies of the cyclist not only refer to structural inflammations, but also to climatic conditions to which this sport is subject. For this reason we thought it necessary to include Tens currents aiming to cure pains like cervical arthrosis. According to us, the only part of the body that can show particular problems is the hand. The hand carries a lot of weight and tension and therefore a programme that acts ad hoc to treat eventual painful features has been included.
