This is the fourth Handbook of Sports Medicine and Science, and is directed to team coaches, physical therapists, general practitioners and competitors. As such, basic information on human anatomy, muscle structure and function, metabolic pathways and the principles of biomechanics are assumed.

The fourth volume in this acclaimed series, Road Cycling concentrates on the techniques of conditioning, road cycling biomechanics, nutrition and hydration, trauma, and the various medical problems encountered by the competitive road cyclist.
Edited by two of the world′s leading authorities, this new book draws together expertise from contributors from The Netherlands, Italy, and the United States to present an authoritative reference for all those actively involved in the sport.
