The programmes can be prepared either with training zones determined by the power (Watt - FTP) of the cyclist, or with heart rate belts or a combination of both.

The most reliable solution is to perform ergometric evaluation in a laboratory, but when this is not possible, there is also the solution of field tests. Indoors or outdoors. Of course the training periodisation can be designed in blocks so that it can be modified based on the weather conditions that prevail each season.

Priority is given to the development of the physiological characteristics of the organism that determine the performance in each race individually.

1. Special attention is paid to the improvement of energy economy.

2. Manipulative training combined with dietary approaches and energy intaking tactics during races in order to decrease energy expenditure and increase the availability of energy supply. We aim to increase the participation of fat in the energy supply and in particular fat max (i.e. the greatest value of fat oxidation at the highest possible power and also to increase the absorption of carbohydrates.

3. Ensure that the thresholds and their power reach the highest possible rate of VO2max and MAS.

4. The maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max).

5. The maximal aerobic power (MAP).
