Physiology > Cardiovascular Drift
How to Determine Your Cardiovascular Drift
Cardiovascular drift is an instability in heart rate and stroke volume over time. We show you how to determine it.
Cardiovascular Drift, with Dr. Ed Coyle
Cardiovascular drift is measured on the bike by looking at a rise in heart rate relative to power. Dr. Ed Coyle shows us the science behind it.
Improving Performance by Increasing Sustainability
Reducing cardiovascular drift and increasing fiber recruitment are key components of sustainability.
Q&A on Gran Fondo Training, Cardiac Drift, Inflammation, and More
We answer listener questions on training for long endurance events, cardiac drift, the types of inflammation, and much more.
