Improvement of special performance of road cyclists by optimization of energy balance

Relevance. It is known that in order to increase the level of special performance of road cyclists, several training methods with different energy focus are used. One of the main conditions for successful training sessions in cycling is the maintenance of energy balance, including at a distance. Moreover, body satisfaction in energy, plastic materials, biologically active substances, regulating the processes of energy exchange and contributing to the achievement of high sports results is of particular importance. Research aim. The aim of this study is the improvement of special performance of road cyclists by the energy balance optimization during a training camp. Research methods. The intensity of a field training was studied using a heart rate monitor Polar F6тм. To analyze the nutritional status of athletes, energy balance and nutritional status index (NSI) the author’s computer system «Diet PP» have been used. The special performance has been determined using a set of tests under standard conditions on a bicycle ergometer «Monark»...
