ACHIEVING
HIGH CADENCE
CADENCES - The counterpar t of strength to
produce power, developing a high cadence,
or pedal speed, is essential for a rider to
reduce the onset of fatigue, and also improve
acceleration. High cadences, while requiring more
oxygen, increase the body’s recruitment of slow
twitch muscle fibers. These are more efficient
at producing energy and have greater fatigue
resistance than the higher force producing fast
twitch muscle fibers.
The Revbox has a tuned resistance that
encourages recruitment of the lower leg muscles
through the crankarm “dead-center”. Improving
the coordination of these muscles in tandem with
the main force producing muscles of the upper
legs, is a crucial aspect in a rider elevating
their sustainable cadence. The first requirement
for achieving a high cadence is coordination.
As this neuromuscular functioning is raised to a
level relevant to the riders goals, cardiovascular
and strength training can also be ramped up
accordingly.
To improve a riders functional cadence, training
on a low iner tia high resistance stationar y
trainer provides the most controlled and effective
environment. The large fan of the Revbox
maintains resistance throughout the whole
circumference of the pedal stroke. A high iner tia
trainer unit will accelerate from the point of peak
power and maintain momentum through the “dead-
center” of the pedal stroke. Much like cycling with
a tail wind, this limits specific muscle adaptations
as the trainer unit is doing much of the work for
the rider during a significant por tion of the
pedal stroke.
