Jalgrattasõidu anatoomia

by Shannon Sovndal, Marina Maran (Translator), Jennifer Gibas (Illustrator)

Maailm elab läbi jalgrattasõidu renessanssi. Rattasõidu populaarsust suurendavad autoliikluse probleemid, säästliku ja rohelise maailmavaate laienev levik ning, ehk kõige enam, tänapäeva väheliikuvast elulaadist tulenev terav vajadus pöörata tähelepanu oma kehale kui elutähtsale kapitalile.
Tervisetreeningu seisukohast on jalgrattasõit üks ohutumaid liikumisvaeguse peletamise ja vastupidavuse arendamise vahendeid, mis ei sea eriti piiranguid sõitja vanusele ega kehalisele seisundile. Samas on ratturi asend jalgrattal suhteliselt sarnane istuva tööasendiga. Et kontorilaua või autorooli tagant pärit tugi-liikumiselundkonna probleemid ei tuleks rattasadulasse kaasa, on vaja mõista rattasõidu mõju kehale ja õppida ühekülgseid mõjusid harjutustega tasakaalustama. Tippsportlasele on ühekülgse treeningu kompenseerimine spetsiaalse jõutreeninguga vigastuste vältimiseks ja tulemuste parandamiseks möödapääsmatu.
Põhjalik, kuid kergesti loetav illustreeritud tekst annab professionaalseid juhiseid, kuidas kohase jõutreeninguga muuta rattasõit efektiivsemaks ja nauditavamaks ning vältida ühekülgse treeninguga kaasnevaid riske. Raamat on mõeldud kõikidele rattaga sõitjatele, nendega kokku puutuvatele arstidele ja sporditudengitele.

I received this book as a gift from book retailer Okian and it has since become by training Bible. It's massively detailed and every time I read again one of its chapters I understand better what the author meant. Basically everything I read in this book and then applied in my training was validated by personal experience. Foreword by former cycling pro Christian Vande Velde is a bonus for this book. The only down side is that Cycling Anatomy only covers training needs for road cycling, without a word about specific training for mountain-biking, track cycling, randonneuring, etc. But it more than satisfies my training needs and it's absolutely worthy of a 5-star rating.

From steep inclines to slick terrains, Cycling Anatomy, Second Edition, will ensure you are prepared for every challenge that comes your way.

Using the same methods that elite cyclists use, you can employ this well-rounded collection of 89 strength and conditioning exercises to maximize cycling power, speed, and endurance to improve your cycling performance. Each exercise includes clear step-by-step descriptions and full-color anatomical illustrations that highlight the primary muscle being used. You’ll find dozens of variations that use a wide range of training equipment so you can modify exercises to target specific areas, and minimize common cycling injuries.

The Cycling Focus section of each exercise includes illustrations of the active muscles involved in cornering, climbing, descending, and sprinting to show you how the exercises are fundamentally linked to delivering maximum power to the pedals. Using tried-and-true strength training principles for all parts of the body, Cycling Anatomy will help you develop a training plan based on your individual needs and goals.

Whether you’re training for an upcoming century ride or just want to top that killer hill with strength to spare, Cycling Anatom y will help you reach top performance, avoid injury, and ensure you get the most out of every ride.

Probably interesting for people who enjoy going to the gym. They will have the opportunity to learn some more about the muscles.

It's a good book for cyclists who want to start at the gym or anyone who wants to know how specific muscles work while cycling.
