Rothstein Provides Insight on Cycling Economy

Bicycling Magazine featured insight from Alexander Rothstein, M.S., coordinator and instructor for the Exercise Science program, in an article about cycling economy and how to measure and improve it.

According to the article, Rothstein notes that cycling economy suggests that you are efficient at using the resources you have—that means oxygen, glucose, and fat, all of which make adenosine triphosphate or ATP, the energy currency of the body. “The more efficient you are at using energy, the more likely you will be able to compete and perform for an extended period of time and/or at a higher level of intensity without fatiguing,” he says.
