“Sleep” between training and recovery is one of the most important factors in our health and stamina. Research by Dr. Charles Samuels of the Canadian Sleep Centre has shown that overtraining and not getting enough rest can seriously impact our physical performance and well-being.

 Rest, nutrition and training are the cornerstones of performance and overall health. And sleep is an important part of rest. For health, there are few methods and medicines as important as sleep. Sleep accounts for one-third of our lives. Like a switch, connecting our health, recovery and performance in all directions.

The previous Sky Team was the first team in the professional road cycling world to realize the importance of sleep to professional drivers. For this reason, they went to great lengths to transport sleeping pods to the scene every time they raced around the world.

 Many commuter riders will reduce sleep time and add more high-intensity training because of lack of time. At twelve o’clock in the middle of the night, I was still practicing the car, and when it was still dark, I got up and went for a morning exercise. Hope to achieve the desired effect as soon as possible. But this actually comes at a cost to your health. Too little sleep often has a major impact on health, quality of life, and life expectancy, as well as depression, weight gain, and significantly increased risk of stroke and diabetes.

 In the case of exercise, exercise can lead to acute (short-term) inflammation, which requires sufficient recovery time for the body to maintain a long-term anti-inflammatory balance.

 Faced with the reality that many people are overtraining and sleep deprived. In particular, Dr. Charles Samuel pointed out: “These groups of people actually need more rest to recover, but they are still training at a high intensity. The way and volume of training that exceeds the body’s ability to recover through sleep will neither Achieving the desired training effect will also lead to a gradual decline in fitness levels.”

Heart rate zones give you insight into your current exercise intensity. To estimate the fitness or performance-enhancing effect of a session, you should consider exercise intensity, duration, recovery time, and repetitions. This principle applies to specific training and overall training programs.

Whether you’re an Olympian or an amateur cyclist; the best training results are achieved by getting enough sleep, the right amount of sleep, and the right quality of sleep.
