Slow down

Vincent rabeau was training pretty well the last few weeks decreasing his sprint time almost every week. But the weather is in the game now and the wind reduce his chance to do better. On the windy track, Vincent is having hard time. That's why he is spending more times at the gym and training outdoor when weather is not too bad. In France the weather is freezing and it's raining a lot. Winter is there and training becomes hard.

Les temps sont difficiles pour Vincent rabeau qui voit ses temps de courses stagner depuis quelques jours. en effet, l'hivers commence a etre rude et la pluie et le vent commence a reduire ses chances de descendre les temps.

Stay on top !!!

Testing session at dubai Autodrome

Hussain, athlete trained by Fabien (TEW Sport), was testing his bike on friday at Dubai Autodrome. He did few sessions of 20mn to fix the suspensions of the bike. The bike is a Yamaha 1000cc bike with a max speed of 300km/h. Fabien came at the session to understand the driving technique and check at the physiological aspects of the sport. A better understanding of the biomechanic of the athlete in motion, to create specific exercise. ''We need to be able to reproduce every single movement at training to bring the best expertise and correct all the muscular imbalance. Motor sports were new to me one year ago. Today i am working with quad, motocross and moto GP riders. It's very interesting to understand the relation between the human and the machine. It's very closed to cycling except that the energy is producing by an engine. That's the main difference. Instead of producing energy like on a bicycle, the rider is controlling the energy. There is no dynamic movement but standing and holding that keep the muscles under contraction.'' Fabien said. On the track, Hussain is already feeling better after few weeks of training. He will race next week for the first time of the season.
Hussain, athlete entraine par Fabien, termine les reglages de sa moto ce weekend. la premiere course se deroule le weekend prochain sur l'autodrome de Dubai.

Strength, Speed, Power

The sport performance is the ability to move a weigth as far, as fast, or as high as possible (jump, run, break, overtake...). To increase his performance the athlete need to train his physical quality like power, strenght and speed.
Strength (Newton) : It determines a muscular action that gives the opportunity to push, break or keep a weigth (body weight or any weight). By increasing the strenght we can push, stop or kep bigger weight in a short time. It increases performance and prevent the risk of injury of the muscular system.
Speed (cm/s) : The speed needs neuromuscular qualities (nervous system/muscles) and gives the opportunity to do several movement very fast. With speed training, we increase the muscle contraction. It helps to execute faster movement.
Power (watt) : The power is the energy produce by the combination of the strength and the speed. If an athlete is able to produce a good strength in a short time, he will be able to produce more power. It's the main factor in many sports.

Lionel Laine, second in Egypt

He trains hard this season.
