What health services does Escapa Barcelona offer?
BIOMECHANICS
A biomechanical study is essential for anyone who trains on a bike, whatever their goal, from enjoying cycling more to competing at a high level. Each study is individualized and based on three basic premises, highlighting the one on which the cyclist wants to focus their goals:
. Greater comfort on the bike.
. Prevention of injuries and discomfort.
. Performance optimization.
The biomechanical study can be performed for the vast majority of disciplines and bikes: Road, MTB, Triathlon and Time Trial, Gravel, and Cyclocross.
TRAINING
Training advice and planning, with plans tailored to each cyclist, taking into account the profile, needs, and goals of each individual. Using power meters or heart rate monitors, tools such as TrainingPeaks, WKo5, lactate analyzers, or encoders for strength training.
NUTRITION
Clinical nutritional assessment with anthropometric analysis. Nutritional plans tailored to the individual profile of the cyclist and each phase of their training. Preparation and strategy before, during, and after events or competitive trials. Specific nutritional treatment for clinical pathologies and special diets, vegetarianism, and veganism.
