LEWISTON — “Rehabilitation Exercises and Cross Training For Cyclists” is the topic of an informational session set for Monday, July 9, at Central Maine Medical Center.
Certified athletic trainer Greg Jancaitis from Central Maine Sports Medicine will review how the repetitive motion of pedaling and leaning forward can lead to muscular tightness and imbalances. He will review the benefits of resistance and cross training for the cyclist, examine strength training exercises that benefit the cyclist and consider rehabilitative exercises to address common cycling injuries.
Jancaitis is a USA Cycling certified cycling coach whose clients range from racers looking to take their training to the next level to those getting into cycling for the first time. He is an avid bicycle commuter and competes in ultra-endurance mountain bike races.
The program may be of particular interest to those participating in The Dempsey Challenge in October.
The program will be presented free of charge in Chairmen’s Room A on the lower level of the 12 High Street Medical Office Building. The presentation will begin at about 5 p.m. and last about 30 minutes.
For more information, call Greg Jancaitis at 795-8465 or email him at jancaigr@cmhc.org.
