Cycling – marginal gains

Mr. Patrick Lefevere states that Remco's cycling team has expanded its traditional support team of doctors, physiotherapists, and mental coaches to include a sleep coach. This new addition will ensure optimized body and mind performance for better sleep; while Pogi says he has a brain coach … Modern technology processes data from training and competitions in real time, which is necessary for progressive training. All good!
Yoga-kinesio assessment addresses marginal gains to help Remco sleep better, with yoga qualifications.
With such long-lasting repetitive strain as cycling, marginal details of the basic pedaling load, i.e., the pedal stroke, accumulate, become fixed, and impose limits with each stroke... on all the functional levels of the organism that are involved.
The yoga qualification for such a condition is: the basic kinesio effect is impaired.

Story:
The London Olympics: I watched the longest women's walking event on TV. The Russian athlete was the clear favorite, leading the race, but the younger competitor patiently followed her and attacked with a more intense pace before the finish line, winning the race. The Russian athlete was unable to maintain her pace, won silver, and made a hysterical scene at the finish line.
When Pogi attacks, the others seem to freeze, say the experts.

I have been practicing and studying yoga for 20 years; yoga has excellent tools for nurturing and strengthening the body – it optimizes basic kinesiology dynamics so that repetitive strain does not cause the body to fall into a limited pace imposed by sports equipment and rules through years of training. The working position on a bike greatly hinders and excludes basic kinesiology principles, so the topic of marginal gains will continue to be relevant, but so will the philosophy, according to Belgian experts.
