Health: Keeping it up

G'day

While [insert drug name which begins with V] is well known as a performance-booster off the bike, understanding the way it improves blood flow – not the V.... itself – could help cyclists gain extra speed...

Didn't one of the Euro Pro's dad got caught with a bunch of blue tablets in his car last year? Either he was "chick magnet" or was involved in something more sinister.

Shouldn't be too hard to spot those on the 'V' gear.

If you catch my drift.....

Flashbacks to a certain black knicks vs red knicks thread, cant remember whether it was on here or not

Also think we might have discovered Matt Shirvingtons secret

Is it just me worried about all the male genitalia threads lately?

Nothing to worry about Dean. This thread/article is about improving your performance on the bike, not elsewhere

Doesn't sildenafil limit your cardiac output? It does dilate pulmonary arterioles, but unless one has a respiratory disorder or is at altitude, breathing/ventilation does not limit exercise performance. So unless you're at altitude, where oxygen diffusion is a limiting factor, it's counter productive*, but even if you are at altitude, it's a trade off. Limiting your cardiac output and increasing your pulmonary exchange will very quickly see your cardiac output become the limiting factor, which will limit performance.

Can't remember if it lessens your maximum stroke volume or maximum heart rate.

*Never ever discount the placebo effect however.
