Hot workouts for cold winter days - all you need is pedals and a wheel

Research suggests 'Kool-it' will not improve the conditions of a cyclist in the heat

Fluid Replacement: Regular topping-up is far more than a matter of just quenching thirst.

Synchronising Muscles With Heart: Should athletes attempt to synchronize muscular contractions with heart rates during workouts and competitive efforts? At first glance, the idea seems like a strange one, but scientific research suggests that it might be the right thing to do.

Anaerobic exercises: Two-week training cycle plus 10-day taper leads to huge gains in anaerobic capacity.

Rowers work long and hard to perfect their rowing strokes, but should they also learn to coordinate their breathing with their rowing?

Triglycerides: Putting medium-chain triglycerides in your sports drink can increase your endurance.

Cross-training: Can runners pedal their way to faster 5K times?

Whether you aim to run a marathon, perform step aerobics, scrummage for Harlequins, or cycle the London to Brighton, you shouldn't neglect a proper conditioning routine as part of your training if you want to achieve muscular balance and avoid injury.

Caffeine: Endurance cyclists, triathletes, skiers, and runners still take caffeine before their long-distance efforts, even though no study has ever linked the nerve-jangling chemical with heightened competitive performances over marathon-type distances.

Plasma Expansion: If you're an endurance athlete, you need more blood than the individual who sits around watching the telly.

Fat: As competitive cyclists search for ways to improve their workouts and performances, they often focus on their body-fat levels. Most cyclists want to get rid of surplus body fat so that they will have less "excess baggage" to carry as they train and compete.

Training: Altitude Or Sea-level: In related work carried out by researchers at the University of Copenhagen, competitive rowers who trained at sea level achieved significantly greater gains in fitness, compared to rowers who trained at altitude.
