Strength Program
Off-Season Cycling Performance Program - Barrie Cycling Club
Now is the time to consider what your off-season training might look like! In addition to your commitment to being on the saddle during the Fall/Winter, a well-designed Strength Training program can be key to enhancing your performance.
Multiple scholarly articles (see Ref. 1, 2, 3 below) have shown improvement in cycling-based performance (max. power output, cadence economy, etc.) as a result of an effectively applied strength training program
We are pleased to provide a Strength Training program for BCC members/friends starting in Jan 2021.
This program will focus on several main elements:
- Increasing lower body strength and power specific to cycling
performance - Enhancing performance in musculature that is under-utilized during cycling, which is critical to preventing muscle imbalances and reducing rates of injury/pain
- Improving posture, thoracic mobility, hip mobility and use of scapular and pelvic-related musculature
- Enhancing general function as an athlete committed to
performance improvement
