If you are a keen cyclist, and would want to participate in the research, then read on!
Stephan van der Zwaard will in September '22 start a research project into the effect of different training interventions on cyclists' performance.
One of the goals of the study is to improve both the sprint and endurance after a combined strength and endurance training. With the new insights that will follow from the research, the researchers aim to give cyclists more specific advice in the future for a particular form of training so that they can train in a more efficient manner.
