🚴♂️Torque training is effective, but intensity matters ⚡️
Our last study shows that high-load torque training (short all-out efforts) improves performance in cyclists, whereas "traditional" torque training (4-minut efforts at lower intensity) does not.
Who’s ready to kick off our January 2026 issue?! 🎇
Well, it’s caffeine which is going to take the limelight for our first featured paper as Alejo et al. look at the effects of caffeine on durability after a cycling sim in trained cyclists 🚴
Our latest study now in @IJSNEMJournal! A 90-min simulated race impaired subsequent TT performance when ingesting a placebo, but not when caffeine (6 mg/kg) was ingested during the race.

Effects of a new high-intensity On-Bike resistance training (>70% 1RM) on VO2max, Aerobic and Anaerobic Thresholds, Time to Exhaustion, Cycling Efficiency, Muscle Strength, Muscle Mass and Injury/Pain Incidence. An effective alternative to conventional Off-Bike resistance training (Squat, Deadlift or Hip Thrust) and to the traditional Torque Training 👊

✨JANUARY 2025 LINE UP✨
A jam packed issue is set to kick off the new year and my goodness, we are starting 2025 with a bang! 💥
Stay in the loop to see more from papers that will feature 👇🏽
🚨Last publication!
.
11 junior cyclists, performed a field-based 8-min TT under “fresh” conditions, or after two work-matched steady-state cycling sessions (total energy expenditure∼20 kJ/kg and ∼100’. Caffeine intake don’t show ergogenic effects on subsequent TT performance
Now in @IJSNEMJournal!
Durability is key for cycling performance, but how can we improve it?
Here we found that a moderate caffeine dose (3 mg/kg) ingested during steady exercise (100min) did not suffice to improve subsequent performance on an 8-min TT.

Excepcional trabajo, con un tremendo equipazo!
Se siguen evidenciando los beneficios que aporta el entrenamiento de fuerza al rendimiento en ciclismo. Esta vez, con alternativas para que los deportistas no se alejen de su propio contexto deportivo, es decir, de su bicicleta 👏

+ info & brief review: https://t.co/aofEjD6U44
For the first time, we are now able to assess relative force demands during cycling. Thanks to this method, we have checked that force demands are low in most cycling conditions (25%), even during #Torquetraining #Torque! (<50%) 🚴♂️
