"I advocate this training concept and include these drills in all my programmes at CIS Training Systems." By isolating each leg's movement and focusing on individual pedalling mechanics, these drills offer a range of benefits.
BENEFITS OF SINGLE-LEG DRILLS
Improved pedalling efficiency: By focusing on one leg at a time, you can identify and address any weaknesses in your pedal stroke. The result is a smoother, more even pedal stroke, and better power transfer to the pedals.
Enhanced muscle balance: The repetitive movements of your legs while cycling can sometimes lead to muscle imbalances. Singleleg drills address this by strengthening weaker muscles and correcting imbalances. Plus, you reduce your injury risk.
