Bicycling Medicine
Cycling Nutrition, Physiology, and Injury Prevention and Treatment for Riders of All Levelsby Baker, Arnie
Description:
Like a safety helmet, Arnie Baker's BICYCLING MEDICINE is a must for the cyclist. Dr. Baker, a cyclist himself, extends the scope of each section way beyond the usual topics. In diet and nutrition he covers hydration, nutrition while riding, and nutrition quackery; his physiology section includes important topics such as optimal cadence, lactic acid, and thresholds, as well as genetic ability; and in his sections on medical problems and health, he of course covers crotchitis, but also gastrointestinal problems and sleeping hints. Dr. Baker advises on special issues for both the young and the aging, and points specific to men and to women. This is not a first-aid book or a training manual, per se, but it is a creatively produced, comprehensive guide with practical advice for the cyclist who wants to stay healthy.
