Top nutritional tips for cyclist
- 2 days ago
With the Tour de France looming, many amateur cyclists like myself are inspired to squeeze into our lycra and take to the road.
As a professor of Sports and Nutrition, I am in a fortunately position to keep up to date with the latest, evidence based, nutritional tips which have been shown to safely improve the capacity of the heart, lungs, joints and muscles leading to better performance. They are particularly relevant for cyclists like me in their 60's who bodies have seen better days. This advice, however, applies equally to elite athletes, club cyclists and weekend warriors helping them, not only to feel faster and stronger but make their ride more enjoyable and comfortable.
