This sounds the same as the debunked argument put forward by 'applied kinesiologists'. When subject and tester are blinded to object there is no relationship between it and supposed change to body. But of course they continue to preach their rubbish and fool the gullible and desperate public...

absolutely Going last will let Andy know just how many seconds per kilometer he is losing. Doesn't give you more watts.

Ha! My two favourites were Mario and Abdu for exactly the reasons you say. Mario for his top speed and distance of sprint (and as he says "looking good at 70km/hr), and abdu for his balls out sprint every time. He looked like a lumberjack and could turn a 531 frame into a pretzel. Opposite...

answer The quadricep most visible in the first photo is viewed with the right knee at approx 100 degrees flexion (lengthened and not contracted), the second photo shows the opposite quadricep (left) at near full knee extension (quad contracted). If this is a serious question, this is more...

top section of home page Hints for web designers. 1) Allow opening "today on cyclingnews.com" articles with "open link in new tab". 2) Have some sort of consistency or relationship between what is in "features", "news editions", and "news". 3) Through the peak release of new season...

Deadlift, Simply, you are wrong. Your argument is illogical and you are poorly informed. I do not believe for a moment that you are in 'formal' research of ergogenics, legal or otherwise. Journal of Applied Physiology, or Medicine and Science in Sport and Exercise, via PubMed would...

You're absolutely right, posterio-medial knee pain and more proximal groin pain does essentially rule out sartorius involvement. If hamstring and groin stretches ease the pain, then continue++. Find an anatomy text or pictures on-line and try to correlate your symptoms to structures which fit...

Tailor's Muscle Hi Erik, I have just read your comment and will throw in my impressions. From the location of pain you describe, one possibility is that the initial injury was an adductor strain with radiation beyond the knee joint. Due to the decreased relative contribution of the hip...

Computer says no. 5 minutes on Pubmed with various combinations of "plyometric, plyometrics, cycle, cycling, bicycle, bicycling" has no relevant hits. On the other hand, the strength and conditioning coaches of national track (sprint) teams use plyometrics. A common story of anecdotal...

lack of leadership and professionalism Evans sadly does not have the temperament or authority to be an effective team leader. He can't lean on the team or management to silence his critics. Public criticisms of him by his team are unprofessional and should be dealt with by him or team...

Humility was so early 90's Bjarne Riis after destroying competitors one by one and then riding solo to mountain top victory in le tour. "When you're the best, it looks easy"

Age and VO2max (1) Does VO2max change as one gets older? In a non-training male individual, the VO2max will increase markedly at puberty (to 20-25 nmol/L) due to the effects of testosterone on lean body mass and increased haematocrit. Males undergo a steady decline in serum testosterone from...

age and physiology changes Hi, These are fantastic questions and I would not do justice to them to post a short answer. I imagine you realise that for several reasons these are complex issues. I am a little busy this week, however, I will give what I can contribute to your questions later in...

trochanteric bursitis Hi, More information is required to give useful advice. What is the history of the pain? How did the pain develop; suddenly or gradually? What is your training history? Has there been any dramatic changes in volume, intensity or type of activity? Is there pain at rest or...

hip and knee pain Hi, There are many reasons why you may be getting hip and knee pain on a training bike (with identical dimensions) used on an indoor trainer. The pedal forces (at different stages of rotation) measured on an indoor trainer differ significantly from those measured while out on...
