Strength training is crucial for cyclists over 50, helping maintain muscle mass, improve functional capacity, and potentially boost performance. It involves exercises like squats, lunges, and deadlifts, focusing on heavy lifting with a consistent approach. Consistency is key, with 2-3 strength workouts per week being a good starting point, especially during base training.
