The Science of Lunges for Cyclists: Strengthening and Lengthening Lower Body Muscles
In this episode of The Knowledge Podcast, Dr. Jinger Gottschall, Director of Sports Science Research, and TKP Producer Eddie Rogers dive into the topic of lunges and their benefits for cyclists. They discuss how lunges activate the muscles involved in the pedal stroke, making them an ideal exercise for cyclists. Dr. Gottschall provides insights into the proper technique for static lunges, emphasizing the significance of knee health and muscle activation. She also explores dynamic lunges, specifically backward-stepping lunges, as a safer alternative to forward-stepping lunges. However, curtsy lunges are discouraged due to the risk of injury. The episode further delves into using lunges for flexibility and showcases various stretches for the hip flexors, hamstrings, and quadriceps. By incorporating lunges into their training routine, endurance athletes can enhance both strength and range of motion. Don't miss out on this informative episode of The Knowledge Podcast!
