Strength Training & Triathlon: Recent Research Ep 72
What if integrating just two strength sessions per week could revolutionize your performance as a triathlete? Join us as we review recent research in strength training for triathletes. For example, athletes who combined endurance and strength training showed significant improvements in cycling and running economy compared to those who focused solely on endurance. This episode tackles the practical hurdles of incorporating strength routines, emphasizing the importance of proper form and overcoming resistance to heavy lifting.
Beyond the gains in athletic performance, we highlight the crucial role of protein intake in maintaining lean body mass and supporting bone health. We delve into essential exercises such as squats, lunges, pushups, and calf strengthening, which are pivotal in addressing common weaknesses and preventing injury. Furthermore, we discuss posture issues, such as progressive kyphosis, often stemming from modern sedentary lifestyles, and the necessity of multi-joint exercises for overall athletic enhancement. Whether you're a seasoned triathlete or a newcomer to the sport, these insights offer a pathway to optimizing your training regimen and performance.
