Head and neck training during a car race, the driver’s cervical section is subjected to longitudinal stresses and above all of the type transversal (due to curves and sudden braking). We must add that the mass of the helmet constitutes an additional weight for the neck muscles too, which must bear forces of about 3-4 G.
Training shoulders and arms : the upper limbs are those that have a more direct contact with the stresses that the ground transmits, through the wheels, to the steering wheel.
Aerobic training: during the “Formula” races, the drivers’ heart rate remains around 110-160 beats per minute, with maximum peaks of around 190 beats during the moments of most intense psychophysical stress.
