Give a decisive boost to your professional career in the field of cycling with the most advanced Biomechanics and Physiology techniques currently”

The balance between good training and physical work is as important as the analysis of the athlete's activity, the detection of possible errors in their own practice or even the quantification of the load using software such as TrainingPeaks or Today’s Plan. All this influences the final performance of the cyclist, which is why it is an essential area of ​​specialization for every professional.

And it is that even in an exhaustive analysis of Biomechanics, anomalous behaviors in the opponents can be detected, which in turn allows acting with privileged information and responding to unforeseen situations. Such is the importance of this area that TECH has dedicated an entire program to delve into it , giving equal importance to Physiology and the professional cyclist's workload.

The student will find a detailed dissection of the most frequent injuries with a possible origin in Biomechanics, the different models of training and load quantification such as Banister, TRIMP and sRPE and the most valid performance markers and performance tests.

In this way, and through completely online teaching, the graduate will start from an advantageous position to stand out and lead complex cycling preparation teams. In addition, all the contents of the Virtual Campus are available for download, which means that they can be reviewed and studied by the student from the comfort of their Tablet, computer and even Smartphoneof preference.
