UCI Gathers 54 Researchers to Rethink Cycling Nutrition for Mountain Biking
Original: UCI Brings Together 54 Researchers to Rethink Cycling Nutrition: Why Road Racing Strategies May Not Work for Mountain Biking
The Union Cycliste Internationale has convened 54 researchers to reassess nutritional strategies in cycling, with a particular focus on mountain biking. The initiative examines why fueling approaches developed for road racing may not translate to mountain biking, where race durations, terrain and physical demands differ substantially. The move signals growing recognition that mountain bikers need sport-specific dietary guidance rather than borrowed road cycling protocols.
Why now: Cycling's governing body is formally questioning long-standing nutrition practices, a notable shift for athletes, coaches and sports scientists.
