- When you started ?

In 2001, with 6 years.

- What motivated you to start on the BMX?

At 5 years old I started to practice motocross with my brother, but we could only practice on the weekends. Then when we could not go to train we used the bikes in the backyard to jump, where we built some jumps. One day in the car from the road we saw that there was a bmx bike competition and we went to inform us so we could participate. The next day we went to the competition, we participated and we liked it a lot. We got good positions because we had practiced a lot and it was similar to motocross. 16 years later we have not stopped traveling to competitions.

- What other sports combine BMX?

Some of my hobbies are downhill and enduro. I also like to do routes with the bike on the road with friends. All the sports that I practice have wheels or are extremes

- Talk a little more about your sport.

There are eight runners each on the street that they have randomly assigned. The circuit has an approximate length of 350m to 500m. At the moment the system with which the exit fence falls is the "Random Gate", consists of the difference of the interval of time between the voice and the four beeps, which finishes with the fall of the fence. This BMX specialty was considered Olympic sport since 2008, in the Olympics only run with bikes of 20 "

- What titles have you won?

11 times champion of Spain

- How long do you intend to continue to dedicate yourself to this world?

I see no end to end the world of bmx

-What makes Bmx different from the other modes of cycling?

The type of bicycle (which are small and without damping), jumps, speed, number of participants, etc.

- What injuries have suffered the cause of BMX?

2 times broke collarbone and broke wrist.

What is a sport training?

By -

According to the elementary principles of adaptation of the human being to the external environment, in order for the organism to improve its physical performance, it is necessary that it faces new stimuli that provoke new reactions (adaptations). These stimuli constitute the training load. The burden of training is understood as the set of biological and psychological demands brought about by training activities. This means that the load has to be measured and evaluated in a double plane. The stimulus must be measured by its magnitude and characteristics. The magnitude is represented by the product of amplitude and the time of application of said amplitude. The application time results from the duration of each repetition multiplied by the number of total repetitions. 1. Volume: It should be expressed by the number of repetitions performed. The total number of repetitions depends on the number of exercises, the repetitions per set, the sets per session and the frequency of the ...

FORCE TRAINING PART 1

1. Anatomical adaptation (AA) The objective of the AA phase is the progressive adaptation of the muscles, and especially of the muscular insertions in the bones, in order to withstand with greater dacilidad loads heavier during the following phases of the training. Thus, blogging burden of training should increase without the athletes feeling discomfort. The simplest method is the force circuit, because it provides an organized structure and alternates the various muscles. CIRCUIT TRAINING This type of training can sometimes be used to develop cardiorespiratory endurance, as well as strength combinations during the Anatomical Adaptations phase. - Design of the program (example): 1. • Half squats • Push-ups • Mastered • Hip extensions • Small jumps with both legs • Strides 2. • Go upstairs • Abdominals with bent knees • Trunk elevations • Jumps to a bench and to the ground • Complete squats • Medicinal ball launches 3. • Press legs • Press banking • Inclined...

Do you want to know how muscles work?

Introducing video: How our muscles work Muscle contraction is produced by an interaction of the protein molecules of actin and myosin, which in turn occurs due to the sliding between thick and thin myofilaments, this sliding causes a decrease in the amplitude of band A and zone H. Calcium (Ca) is the link between excitement and contraction of a muscle. The sarcoplasmic reticulum is specialized for its storage and release of calcium through the T system. When a nerve signal arrives at the muscle cell, a release of calcium is initiated into the fluid surrounding the filaments from special storage vesicles in the reticulum Sarcoplasmic, when combined with troponin, initiates the elimination of an impediment for a potential interaction between the actin and myosin filaments. In any case, the tropomyosin, which in the resting muscle has turned off the active sites of actin, can now activate them; In turn the actin can activate the ATP hydrolysis of the myosin heads. This allows ...
