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. In addition, the program will take you into the periodization of macro and micronutrients, sports supplementation or stomach training, among other topics of special interest. 

With this specialization, the cyclist will be in a position to boost his or her professional activity, for which he or she will not have to attend on-site training centers or be subject to specific schedules. In addition, you will benefit from enjoying an academic experience with the largest online university in the world, becoming part of a prestigious community where you will be able to establish contact with great experts in this area.
