Guest Bio – Sebastian Weber:

Sebastian Weber has been the head coach of professional cycling teams of the highest ranks for more than 10 years. After his studies in sports science and molecular human biology, Sebastian ran several research projects focused on modeling muscular energy metabolism and its dose-response relationship as an adaptation to cycling training before he became the head sports scientist of the T-Mobile professional cycling team at the age of only 28. Sebastian continued his way in the world of professional cycling as head coach/head of human performance in some of the most successful teams such as Highroad, Columbia, HTC, Katusha, Lotto, and Cannondale.

Subsequently, in 2007 Sebastian founded the STAPS human performance lab in Germany. The methods he applied in his coaching experiences helped his athletes to win numerous victories at the Tour de France, Giro d’Italia, the Vuelta, multiple World Championships, and the Olympic medals.

His methods to the applied analysis of energy metabolism ultimately resulted in the creation of INSCYD, a software for the analysis of metabolic performance which aroused the interest of other professional sports, resulting in consulting services in swimming, track cycling, speed skating and football.
