Strength and Conditioning for Cyclists: Off the Bike Conditioning for Performance and Life

If you want to ride faster, feel stronger and stay injury‑free, Strength and Conditioning for Cyclists gives you the proven tools to build real power off the bike. Drawing on years of experience working with elite riders — including the Great Britain Cycling Team — Phil Burt and Martin Evans translate world‑class training methods into practical, accessible guidance for everyday cyclists.

The book begins with a simple self‑assessment inspired by the GB Cycling Team’s Functional Movement Screening, helping you identify your strengths, weaknesses and key areas for improvement. From there, you’ll discover the mobility drills and strength exercises that genuinely matter for cyclists, allowing you to train smarter and avoid wasting time on ineffective movements.

You’ll learn how to:

• Build a personalised, progressive strength plan tailored to your goals
• Fit off‑bike training into your weekly and yearly cycling schedule
• Improve mobility, stability and power where it counts
• Become a more resilient, efficient and robust rider

Whether you’re chasing performance gains or simply want to feel better on every ride, this practical guide shows how targeted strength and conditioning can transform your cycling.
