Icons : My inspiration. My motivation. My obsession
\"The world of professional cycling is fraught with fierce competition, fervent dedication and unerring ambition, and only a handful of competitors reach iconic status. Among them is Sir Bradley Wiggins -a man uniquely placed to reflect on the history of this remarkable sport and its unforgettable titans. In Icons, Wiggins takes the reader on an extraordinarily intimate journey through the sport, presenting key pieces from his never-before-seen collection of memorabilia. Over the course of his illustrious career, he amassed hundreds of items often gifts from its greatest and most controversial figures. Each reflects an icon, a race or a moment that fundamentally influenced Wiggins on both a personal and professional level. By exploring the lives and achievements of 21 of the sport's key figures among them Fausto Coppi, Jacques Anquetil, Miguel Indurin and Tom Simpson Wiggins sheds new light on what professional cycling demands of its best competitors. Icons laud their triumphs, elucidate their demons and sheds light on the philosophy and psychology that comprise the unique mindset of a cycling champion.\"--Jacket flap.

The Cycling Chef : plant-powered performance : road-tested vegan recipes
As a nutritionist for British Cycling, Alan Murchison knows all about the rise of veganism among cyclists. With cycling and food the twin passions of his life, and a philosophy that food should both be for pleasure and for performance, Alan creates a range of delicious recipes to give the plant-powered cyclists the best possible preparation. A plant-based diet should not diminish performance, and can even improve it with the right balance of nutrients, vitamins, carbs and protein. Alan provides invaluable guidance on meals where protein levels can be enhanced with an array of recipes for breakfasts, snacks, main meals and desserts to enable riders to build a balanced meal plan. Recipes include a real deal red lentil lasagne, a colourful mango and coconut breakfast bowl and delicious sticky buns.

VO.sub.2max prediction based on submaximal cardiorespiratory relationships and body composition in male runners and cyclists: a population study
Oxygen uptake (VO.sub.2) is one of the most important measures of fitness and critical vital sign. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a valuable method of assessing fitness in sport and clinical settings. There is a lack of large studies on athletic populations to predict VO.sub.2max using somatic or submaximal CPET variables. Thus, this study aimed to: (1) derive prediction models for maximal VO.sub.2 (VO.sub.2max) based on submaximal exercise variables at anaerobic threshold (AT) or respiratory compensation point (RCP) or only somatic and (2) internally validate provided equations. Four thousand four hundred twenty-four male endurance athletes (EA) underwent maximal symptom-limited CPET on a treadmill (n=3330) or cycle ergometer (n=1094). The cohort was randomly divided between: variables selection (n.sub.runners = 1998; n.sub.cyclist = 656), model building (n.sub.runners = 666; n.sub.cyclist = 219), and validation (n.sub.runners = 666; n.sub.cyclist = 219). Random forest was used to select the most significant variables. Models were derived and internally validated with multiple linear regression. Runners were 36.24[plus or minus]8.45 years; BMI = 23.94 [plus or minus] 2.43 kg.m.sup.-2; VO.sub.2max=53.81[plus or minus]6.67 mL.min.sup.-1.kg.sup.-1. Cyclists were 37.33[plus or minus]9.13 years; BMI = 24.34 [plus or minus] 2.63 kg.m.sup.-2; VO.sub.2max=51.74[plus or minus]7.99 mL.min.sup.-1.kg.sup.-1. VO.sub.2 at AT and RCP were the most contributing variables to exercise equations. Body mass and body fat had the highest impact on the somatic equation. Model performance for VO.sub.2max based on variables at AT was R.sup.2=0.81, at RCP was R.sup.2=0.91, at AT and RCP was R.sup.2=0.91 and for somatic-only was R.sup.2=0.43. Derived prediction models were highly accurate and fairly replicable. Formulae allow for precise estimation of VO.sub.2max based on submaximal exercise performance or somatic variables. Presented models are applicable for sport and clinical settling. They are a valuable supplementary method for fitness practitioners to adjust individualised training recommendations.
