This is why i find this forum funny,your all mad :D ,keep it coming
Hello Ady!The person who started this thread, just wanted some session advice.I gave him a session, that would give him results.Others can do the same.Quote:

You mention some lads on here who use the turbo.I'll bet a lot of them have ridden a 10 mile TT, in close to 20 mins as well.Not one of them(if they have any sense) will come on here, and say it didn't have any effect on them.
As to Obree, I've made the point in my response to Nicklas.
Look Christopher stop getting all testy and so defensive.. someone, I can't remember who now, wrote in at the start of this thread and asked for some advice on using a turbo. A few people wrote back giving some good advice and then you gave, in my opinion and several others, an overly simplistic and not very helpful answer.... regardless of what you say, "20 minutes flat out without a warm-up" is not a suitable or constructive advice for a novice.
anyway.....
Performance will be improved, as an appropriate warm up will result in an:
Increased speed of contraction and relaxation of warmed muscles
Dynamic exercises reduce muscle stiffness
Greater economy of movement because of lowered viscous resistance within warmed muscles
Facilitated oxygen utilization by warmed muscles because hemoglobin releases oxygen more readily at higher muscle temperatures (enzymes!!!)
Facilitated nerve transmission and muscle metabolism at higher temperatures; a specific warm up can facilitate motor unit recruitment required in subsequent all out activity
Increased blood flow through active tissues as local vascular beds dilate, increasing metabolism and muscle temperatures
Allows the heart rate get to a workable rate for beginning exercise
Mentally focused on the training or competition
without wishing to get lardy-daa I think with a Masters in Sports Science I do know the theory behind a warm-up but frankly I spend all day writing on health/exercise and don't want to spend my spare time doing it as well... come on just admit it was a silly flippant comment on your part... I'm done!
Fleeter we might just reach the truth soon, what do you think:)Quote:

Having a masters degree doesn't neccessarily make you right Nicklas!I don't even need to answer the points you make above individually.All I'll say to finish on, is if all the above was true, why have the same athletes performed just as well without a warm-up?Quote:

Still, dont let the overwhelming weight of scientific and professional opinion deter you; you keep digging mate!
Graeme Obree interview
...although I reckon Obree was something of an under achiever. Imagine what he could have done with a decent warm up?
Under achiever?Quote:

Then again I'm not naive enough to believe this was the only factor, in his poorer performance the day before.
