The Importance of Neuromuscular Training

Training proper muscle firing patterns through neuromuscular training is essential for increasing the economy and efficiency of your pedal strokes, improving power output, and enhancing power endurance. Engaging in exercises like high cadence work, big gear sprints, and single-leg drills can help develop better neuromuscular recruitment patterns, leading to improved bike handling skills and performance in races.
