Introduction to the Program
The perfect opportunity to reach your cycling goals through the latest nutritional plans"

Cyclists need a diet rich in carbohydrates to have the necessary energy for long distance cycling. Since these biomolecules are stored in the body in the form of glycogen, you need to consume enough carbohydrates to keep glycogen levels high before a race or workout. In addition, these athletes also require protein to repair muscles after exercise and to promote recovery. Fats are also postulated to be important for providing long-lasting energy and for the sake of contributing to the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
Undoubtedly, managing nutritional issues such as these is a complex task and subject to continuous advances as scientific evidence evolves, which is why cyclists should take advantage of any opportunity to update their knowledge. And with TECH they have a perfect one, through which they will have the opportunity to boost their performance through the nutritional plans that have proven to be the most effective today.
Thus, students will analyze at length the implications of nutrition in their sports activity, obtaining the most appropriate tools to calculate metabolic expenditure.
