Vol.7,No.3(2013)

Abstract

Road cycling is a widespread sport. Training preparation is an essential component of the system applicable in the peak of cycling. Our research is focused on the training differences of top road cyclists with and without a disability. There was a total of 6 respondents in this research, 3 cyclists with different types of disability and 3 cyclists without disabilities with international experience. The selection of respondents was intentional. The results revealed noticeable differences in the preparation of training for both groups. The most obvious difference was reflected in the overall support (financial, material and team support), absence of stress testing in the groups of cyclists with disability and also in the composition of pre-season training and in the use of flexible forms of organisation during training. It was also found that selected athletes with a disability have a higher number of training sessions with the same volume at weekly training approach.
