인라인스케이팅, 특히 레이싱하는 분들은 싸이클, MTB 훈련을 병행하는 분들이 많아지고 있습니다. 하나 하기도 힘든데 말입니다. ^^
아래 좋은 내용이 있어서 올려봅니다.

Pro Training Secrets – how do the top riders achieve such high performance levels?
There’s one major difference between a professional cyclist and the rest of the serious cycling fraternity. The pro is paid to ride his bike 5 hours a day, 5-6 days a week. No matter how enthusiastic we may be about cycling, few of the rest of us non-professional riders can spare the time to put in so many hours in the saddle.
But that difference doesn’t mean you should give up any hope of making serious improvements to your level of cycling performance.
Because there are many other ways that we can emulate the pro cyclist in training smarter, if not harder. It’s emphatically not just the difference in the number of hours spent on the bike that separates the elite riders from the rest of us.
In Training for Cyclists we identify several important respects in which pro cyclists train differently from your average competitive cyclist, apart from the sheer number of hours they spend in the saddle. These pro training secrets don’t require any special equipment, or significant financial outlay. All you need is the knowledge of how they work – and the commitment to put them into practice.
for example, we set out the findings of some recent research into the way in which a group of elite cyclists went about building the necessary base training foundation they needed for a successful cycling season, and discuss the implications for non-elite riders. Ironically, the results of this study suggest that most amateur cyclists ride far too hard during much of their year-round training.
Read Training for Cyclists and you’ll find out why the sports scientists came to this surprising conclusion – and whether you could profit from throttling back a bit on your weekly training regime.
Cycling as Cross-Training – the many benefits other athletes can gain from spending time on the bike
Can cycling really improve the performance of the non-cyclist? After all we are continually being told that the greatest performance gains will derive from the most sport specific training; surely therefore cycling cannot be of benefit to the runner, let alone the sprinter, or a footballer, whose sport specific movement patterns and skills are far removed from pedal pushing.
In Training for Cyclists we present the findings on several studies that examine varying facets of this complex issue.
In the first one, a team from the University of Texas examined the transfer of training effects on VO2max, between cycling, running and swimming. It came to some surprising conclusions regarding the respective value of each sport on athletes who normally participated in other sports.
In another study, researchers from California looked into the effectiveness of cycling as a X-Training means between competitive seasons, in female distance runners. They concluded that there’s a real possibility that cycling has a role to play in all year round endurance training for non cyclists because:
It may enable the endurance sports athlete’s body greater time to recover from tough training/competitive training phases and improve future injury resilience
It may be that from a mental perspective, the involvement of a different training method (cycling) can ‘rejuvenate’ the mental approach of endurance athletes and ultimately boost performance
In another study we look at the role cycling can play in helping track athletes increase their leg speed through over-speed training. Certain cycling exercises are found to improve an athlete’s lactate processing capacity and creatine phosphate energy supply.
This chapter will be of particular interest for sports coaches seeking to help their athletes transition between one long season and the next, recover from sports injury, or prolong their sporting career.
