Is there any scientific journal or other medium that publishes reputable research dealing directly with mountain biking? I'm interested if the basis for your training stems primarily from research in other sports or if there is a direct link behind these exercises and mountain bike performance. I recall hearing from someone (I think it was Todd) that grip strength and grip endurance is an indicator of mountain bike performance in gravity disciplines. I would love to read the study indicating this, or do the research myself if it hasn't been tested!
