Linea temporale

  • 00:00:00 - 00:05:00

    Cartea "The Midlife Cyclist" a fost inițial concentrată pe biologia ciclismului în contextul îmbătrânirii, dar noua carte a autorului se va axa pe neurobiologie. Aceasta explorează de ce oamenii iau decizii bune sau rele în timp ce sunt implicați în exerciții intense și competiții. Autorul a lucrat doi ani cu diverși specialiști pentru a aduce noi concepte și modalități de gândire în acest domeniu, punând întrebări provocatoare despre cum procesează oamenii mișcarea și competiția, și cum pot face alegeri mai bune. Importanța adaptării și a calibrării stilului de viață și a antrenamentului este subliniată, în special pentru cicliștii mai în vârstă.

  • 00:05:00 - 00:10:29

    Phil discută despre diferențele fundamentale în biomecanica piciorului în ciclism, comparându-l cu schiul și alte sporturi. În ciclism, obiectivul este blocarea mișcării laterale a piciorului pentru a maximiza puterea transmisă asupra pedalei. Tehnicile includ realizarea de suporturi personalizate pentru picior, care permit blocarea piciorului în poziția corectă, asigurând o transferare eficientă a puterii. Aceasta devine și mai critică pentru sportivii vârstnici care pot avea un istoric de accidentări. Procesul presupune evaluări complete pentru a înțelege gama de mișcări și istoricul accidentărilor, permițând astfel ajustări personalizate care îmbunătățesc funcționalitatea.

    what did you evolve to do and what are
  • 00:00:05
    you trying to do and if there's a
  • 00:00:06
    dissonance there let's understand it and
  • 00:00:08
    see if we can kind of somehow improve
  • 00:00:10
    the situation rather than like well
  • 00:00:11
    there's nothing you can do it's it's all
  • 00:00:13
    going to be a disaster that's clearly
  • 00:00:15
    not true but you know at least point out
  • 00:00:17
    where the challenges
  • 00:00:20
    are that was the premise of a book that
  • 00:00:23
    reshaped the thinking of many cyclists a
  • 00:00:26
    manual to help us understand and manage
  • 00:00:28
    the changes of Aging
  • 00:00:30
    the midlife cyclist set a direction for
  • 00:00:33
    me that I continue to follow and in 2025
  • 00:00:36
    its author releases a new
  • 00:00:44
    book just off one of London's busiest
  • 00:00:46
    streets in an unmarked old fire station
  • 00:00:49
    is cycle fit it's one of the original
  • 00:00:52
    Sports Performance centers for 23 years
  • 00:00:55
    amateur and professional bike riders
  • 00:00:57
    have used its services so what is this a
  • 00:01:00
    fire station yes I presumed it would be
  • 00:01:03
    being called the fire station philal is
  • 00:01:06
    a Pioneer in cycling biomechanics he's
  • 00:01:09
    the author of The midlife cyclist and
  • 00:01:11
    the book you'll probably want to buy
  • 00:01:13
    when it comes out the cycling addiction
  • 00:01:16
    essentially the last one was looking at
  • 00:01:18
    sort of biology this one is looking at
  • 00:01:19
    neurobiology why we do things why we do
  • 00:01:22
    things when it's going well and why we
  • 00:01:23
    do things when it's going badly and the
  • 00:01:25
    link between the two and looking at
  • 00:01:27
    looking at some new Concepts and new
  • 00:01:29
    ways of thinking about people whe they
  • 00:01:31
    engaging in intense exercise and
  • 00:01:32
    competition how they might have more
  • 00:01:35
    control um and make better choices U
  • 00:01:39
    because it seems to be that intelligence
  • 00:01:40
    is actually know insulator from bad
  • 00:01:44
    decisions uh in life generally speaking
  • 00:01:46
    but you know intelligent people don't
  • 00:01:47
    necessarily make better decisions so
  • 00:01:50
    this book really I've been spending my
  • 00:01:52
    whole two years talking to psychiatrists
  • 00:01:55
    neurobiologists team doctors athletes
  • 00:01:58
    current and past
  • 00:02:00
    some very very famous some you've never
  • 00:02:01
    heard of it's not a sensational book and
  • 00:02:04
    neither is it an academic book it's I
  • 00:02:06
    suppose it's written in the same tone as
  • 00:02:07
    this one is this one's I think the
  • 00:02:09
    midlife cyclist is a kind
  • 00:02:11
    [Music]
  • 00:02:14
    book it's also the book which ultimately
  • 00:02:17
    led me to create the older athlete
  • 00:02:19
    series and more videos are planned this
  • 00:02:21
    winter that kind approach just worked
  • 00:02:24
    for me take for example something many
  • 00:02:26
    of us now need reading
  • 00:02:28
    glasses the same things are happening
  • 00:02:30
    everywhere in our bodies just they're
  • 00:02:31
    not all quite so visible everything is
  • 00:02:33
    just changing and and and adjusting as
  • 00:02:36
    you get older and you either deny it and
  • 00:02:38
    just move it and stick it in a box under
  • 00:02:40
    your bed and forget about it or you try
  • 00:02:42
    and and flag it up and attenuate to
  • 00:02:45
    those changes and make rational um
  • 00:02:48
    calibrations to your bike and to your
  • 00:02:50
    lifestyle and with training it's like it
  • 00:02:52
    is very possible for people people um 50
  • 00:02:56
    60 70 to perform a really high level but
  • 00:03:00
    unlike young people uh it always has to
  • 00:03:03
    be thought about you don't get your 70y
  • 00:03:05
    old who just jumps on a bike now and
  • 00:03:07
    again and wins a race that ain't going
  • 00:03:09
    to happen you know if you if you want to
  • 00:03:11
    perform really well at 60 or 70 or even
  • 00:03:15
    mid-50s there's a lot of work that has
  • 00:03:17
    to go on so do things that do exactly
  • 00:03:20
    stress the body in in a completely
  • 00:03:21
    opposite way which is completely
  • 00:03:23
    accountable to what we were all taught
  • 00:03:25
    when we were in our 20s and 30s no if
  • 00:03:27
    you want to be a cyclist you know you
  • 00:03:28
    need to kind of calcif bu your body into
  • 00:03:30
    this kind of you know this kind of like
  • 00:03:32
    ride a bike ride a bike ride a bike
  • 00:03:35
    exactly it's like well actually that's
  • 00:03:36
    not always true it's certainly not true
  • 00:03:38
    for people as they get older they need
  • 00:03:39
    to do different they need to do
  • 00:03:40
    different things I mean do do you do you
  • 00:03:42
    go to the gym do you have stuff at home
  • 00:03:44
    do you do weights what do you do for
  • 00:03:46
    your strength training yes so I'm do as
  • 00:03:48
    I say not as I do I I like I'm a outdoor
  • 00:03:51
    person I like to do outdoory things so
  • 00:03:54
    um I the things that I will do I will do
  • 00:03:56
    lots of paddle boarding cuz you're
  • 00:03:57
    standing up right and it's very for your
  • 00:04:00
    core yeah uh and it's the same as for me
  • 00:04:02
    it's the same as cycling I'm getting the
  • 00:04:04
    same I'm getting the same it's good work
  • 00:04:06
    out for your upper body as well yeah
  • 00:04:08
    it's just good for everything and it's
  • 00:04:09
    it's the complete antidote to cycling my
  • 00:04:12
    daughter likes to go to the climbing
  • 00:04:13
    wall so the climbing wall is really good
  • 00:04:14
    for for middle-aged athletes where
  • 00:04:17
    cycling is all linear and controlled in
  • 00:04:18
    these repeated repeated lows on the body
  • 00:04:21
    whereas climbing is you're extending
  • 00:04:23
    these ranges you know it's by Nature
  • 00:04:26
    inherently you're moving in a different
  • 00:04:27
    way these are the kind so yes I'll do a
  • 00:04:30
    little bit of gym work but more I will
  • 00:04:32
    try and find activities that produce the
  • 00:04:34
    same results climbing wall paddle
  • 00:04:35
    boarding that kind of
  • 00:04:39
    thing Cycles fit is currently working
  • 00:04:41
    with pro team Education
  • 00:04:45
    First it's a working place oh my God
  • 00:04:48
    it's my a& e here um so this is how
  • 00:04:51
    looks but one of those is with with
  • 00:04:52
    jewels out in J so he's got all the new
  • 00:04:55
    riders coming in women and men and they
  • 00:04:57
    uh they will come in and they have to
  • 00:04:59
    have the new new kit new shoes new bikes
  • 00:05:01
    so he's out there working all that so
  • 00:05:02
    he's taken that one of those with him
  • 00:05:05
    Phil says the new book is a development
  • 00:05:07
    from the midlife cyclist aimed at a
  • 00:05:09
    wider range and drawing on more
  • 00:05:11
    specialist advice but another kind book
  • 00:05:14
    all day we're immersed in trying to make
  • 00:05:18
    athletes perform and function better
  • 00:05:20
    that's just you know it's it goes in by
  • 00:05:22
    osmosis which it in the walls so the
  • 00:05:24
    midlife cyclist was easier in that sense
  • 00:05:27
    I didn't have enough specialist
  • 00:05:28
    knowledge or credibility
  • 00:05:30
    or credentials to just write it all just
  • 00:05:33
    you know in one sitting all on my own so
  • 00:05:36
    I just reached out to people and I guess
  • 00:05:39
    the kindness is that in in how I reached
  • 00:05:41
    out how they
  • 00:05:43
    reciprocated and then how I used them
  • 00:05:45
    how they became into the book not in a
  • 00:05:48
    cold way but they they sort of became a
  • 00:05:50
    cast of characters I suppose and that's
  • 00:05:52
    what I mean by kindness that they that I
  • 00:05:53
    wanted to feel that those people who are
  • 00:05:56
    on my team who I talk to all the time um
  • 00:05:59
    um
  • 00:06:00
    you know I wanted to have them in the
  • 00:06:02
    book in a way that when you read it you
  • 00:06:04
    felt that they were now your your team
  • 00:06:06
    you know you you know you you could take
  • 00:06:08
    you could take their advice and also
  • 00:06:09
    kindness in the sense that I wanted
  • 00:06:13
    people to try and take away something
  • 00:06:14
    which would help them provoke them to
  • 00:06:17
    maybe just change something about the
  • 00:06:18
    way that they're they they are training
  • 00:06:21
    or racing in a very positive way they
  • 00:06:23
    something they found positive that was
  • 00:06:25
    useful and these are difficult subjects
  • 00:06:27
    you know this one is even the current
  • 00:06:29
    book is even more more difficult but
  • 00:06:30
    this is difficult because you're asking
  • 00:06:31
    people they love this sport they love
  • 00:06:33
    what they're doing they're getting older
  • 00:06:35
    on exercise is a great thing you know as
  • 00:06:37
    you get older and you're asking people
  • 00:06:38
    to modify so you know it is a little bit
  • 00:06:41
    of you know it's got to be you got to
  • 00:06:43
    introduce controversial things so it's
  • 00:06:45
    how you introduce them so you people
  • 00:06:47
    well I've always done it this way yeah
  • 00:06:49
    but you haven't always been 56 you know
  • 00:06:51
    so I feel it in myself it's you know I'm
  • 00:06:55
    no different it's the way things are
  • 00:06:57
    introduced and the way things are
  • 00:06:58
    discussed is really
  • 00:07:02
    important what's clear is how
  • 00:07:04
    enthusiastic Phil continues to be about
  • 00:07:07
    improving the performance of anyone at
  • 00:07:09
    any age and that's more than just going
  • 00:07:12
    faster and the big thing we were
  • 00:07:14
    interested in fascinated with was the
  • 00:07:17
    foot cuz we understood that the foot
  • 00:07:20
    functions differently in cycling than
  • 00:07:22
    any other environment other than
  • 00:07:23
    possibly skiing in s is a peculiar sport
  • 00:07:26
    because it's it's a sport where you
  • 00:07:28
    actually want to lock the foot you don't
  • 00:07:30
    want to facilitate movement so if you're
  • 00:07:31
    in every other sport walking running you
  • 00:07:34
    want to facilitate movement with with
  • 00:07:35
    cycling you actually want to block
  • 00:07:37
    movement you want to block lateral
  • 00:07:39
    Movement Like skiing actually and so the
  • 00:07:42
    idea being that you get the right shoe
  • 00:07:44
    and then you get the right level support
  • 00:07:46
    by casting the foot and then you build
  • 00:07:48
    in some compensation to stop any lateral
  • 00:07:51
    movement so if someone's going to
  • 00:07:53
    produce power they' got to produce power
  • 00:07:54
    across the metat but mainly the first
  • 00:07:57
    one cuz that's the biggest one so you
  • 00:07:59
    want to make sure they're not wasting
  • 00:08:00
    any time with a metas or trying to find
  • 00:08:03
    the this pedal with an orthotic you can
  • 00:08:06
    just lock the foot in the right position
  • 00:08:08
    and then as soon as they hit the power
  • 00:08:10
    stroke they they're producing power so
  • 00:08:12
    there's no there's no loss there's no
  • 00:08:14
    delay yeah so you got the first metat
  • 00:08:16
    tarle fifth metat tarle and then the the
  • 00:08:19
    the bridge of the metat tasel was there
  • 00:08:21
    and with this this person here they've
  • 00:08:24
    got what's called superat so the foot in
  • 00:08:26
    its best neutral position the first MP
  • 00:08:29
    the big one is elevated so what Mick has
  • 00:08:32
    done there is filling that Gap so as
  • 00:08:33
    soon as they come into the pass stroke
  • 00:08:35
    there's no like oh I need to get that
  • 00:08:37
    down they just they're gone so that's so
  • 00:08:40
    the power is for some people the power
  • 00:08:42
    is significant not for all people
  • 00:08:44
    depends on your foot type is yeah that
  • 00:08:46
    was the Epiphany static bodies Dynamic
  • 00:08:48
    bodies and then the role of the foot uh
  • 00:08:51
    but evaluating evaluating someone's
  • 00:08:55
    function and ranges of motion is is
  • 00:08:57
    massively important and presumably this
  • 00:08:59
    is where that molding happens on that
  • 00:09:01
    sort of thing that's where we do a
  • 00:09:03
    custom foot bed so if somebody doesn't
  • 00:09:05
    need an orthotic we'll just mold the
  • 00:09:07
    foot bed for them
  • 00:09:08
    right um and that's why we do that there
  • 00:09:11
    but if if if they need an orthotic then
  • 00:09:13
    that's actually a a proper cast so there
  • 00:09:15
    foot is cast on the table uh messy old
  • 00:09:18
    business uh but then you end up then you
  • 00:09:21
    end up with
  • 00:09:22
    this PL Paris yeah and then you can
  • 00:09:25
    recast off that so if you know so you
  • 00:09:27
    know someone loses their shoes or need
  • 00:09:29
    another pair of orthotics they just as
  • 00:09:31
    long as they've got that or we've got
  • 00:09:32
    that then we can recast probably lasts 3
  • 00:09:35
    years and then you have to
  • 00:09:37
    recast all of which becomes increasingly
  • 00:09:40
    important for older athletes once you've
  • 00:09:43
    gone through a full evaluation ranges
  • 00:09:45
    emotion someone's told you about all
  • 00:09:46
    their injuries and their legacy of
  • 00:09:49
    injuries and problems and you've done a
  • 00:09:50
    full functional movement screen you kind
