Product Description
Book Description
Let an expert show you how to use modern sport science to improve your cycling. U.S. Olympic cycling manager Ed Burke presents practical "cyclist-to-cyclist" advice on how the heart, lungs, and muscles work and how you can use this knowledge to get the most out of your riding.
From the Publisher
Chris Carmichael, the 1996 U.S. Olympic Cycling Team coach and personal coach for Olympian Lance Armstrong, says, "Burke moves sport science out of the Olympic athlete arena and into everyone's life so that you too can ride faster, stronger, and more powerful."

Great for introduction to cycling...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Cycling Health and Physiology (Paperback)
This book is written for the "layman" in regards to the physiology behind the sport of cycling. As someone not familiar with VO2 max or heart rate training or even different methods of training, this book is perfect. As someone with an Exercise Physiology background, however, this book was nothing more than a reveiw of everything I have learned. I was looking for something more physiologically based.

I will be reading this book several times. It's packed with information on how to maximize your training session, off-season training advice, nutitional info, how to cope with jet lag, ad infinitum. I recommend this book to all who take this sport seriously.
