Road cycling and music simply belong together. Whether motivating songs for roller training or relaxing sounds after training or competition: the right music makes every moment better - and the athlete more efficient. A recent study found that oxygen consumption is reduced by seven per cent when training with music. In the ergometer test, up to 15 per cent better performance was measured when music was playing.
