Physiology & Anatomy
Understand how your body actually works – the foundation every adaptation builds on.

I'll show you the system behind 18 titles and the Olympics – so you can steer your biology and your training toward the podium. Stop following. Start leading.
Most athletes are passengers in their own body. They wait for a plan from the federation and hope for feedback from the coach. I break that pattern.
True performance doesn't come from obedience, but from knowledge. If you don't understand your own biology, you'll never unlock its full potential. So: train your cells.
Whether you want to dip a toe in or go all the way to the top – you start exactly where you stand.
The free entry point. Understand the core idea of the self-coach principle – no risk.
The complete SportPerformance Method as a self-paced course. Lifetime access, ongoing updates.
Your personal performance staff from Elisabeth Brandau's network – by application.
Lifetime access. Always up to date. You get lifetime access to all content – broken down into small, understandable modules and continuously expanded.
Understand how your body actually works – the foundation every adaptation builds on.
Target your energy systems on purpose – understand and use fat and carbohydrate metabolism.
Eat so your training actually works – practical for everyday life, no dogma, matched to your goals.
Mobility, strength and clean motor control – perform more, injury-free.
Mainly here for health on the bike? →
Little time, no interest in a years-long coaching relationship – just wants to finally know what actually matters. Even alongside a full-time job.
Wants more than the club's standard template and is looking for support on the way up.
Wants to optimize and professionalize their own setup to become independent.
Wants to raise athletes toward self-responsibility instead of dependency – for more success and less stress.
„I didn't have a federation paving the way for me. I had to build my own system to compete with the best in the world. This system – the SportPerformance Method – I'm now passing on to you.“

At BrandauBikes in Schönaich, Elisabeth & Marco work on your bike – walk-in service, shock & fork service and bike fitting. SportPerform makes you fast, the workshop makes your bike fast.
Yes. Cycling strengthens your cardiovascular system and endurance, builds strength and is easy on the joints. But it only becomes truly healthy with the right knowledge: a properly fitted riding position, the right load, and nutrition – otherwise overload and discomfort are common.
Competitive sport isn't automatically healthy. The wrong pace, too little recovery and poor nutrition can lead to overtraining, RED-S, joint problems and sleep disorders. With the right control, performance stays healthy.
Yes. That's exactly what SportPerform is about: you learn to understand your own biology and your training and steer it yourself – online at your own pace, with optional 1:1 support.
Not through more training, but through better training: targeted load management, metabolic and strength training, recovery and nutrition. The SportPerformance Method shows you the system behind it.
A bike fitting adjusts your bike precisely to your body. It prevents pain (e.g. numb hands and feet) and makes you more efficient – worthwhile for anyone riding regularly or dealing with discomfort.
Through balanced load, sufficient energy intake and recovery – supported by diagnostics like HRV and blood values. That way you spot overload before it becomes a problem.
In a way that fits daily life and your training load: enough energy, the right carbohydrates and proteins, good recovery. Nutrition is its own module in the Method.
For anyone who wants to lead themselves: recreational riders, ambitious athletes, young talents and coaches – from beginner to world class.
There's a free entry point (basic workshop), the Masterclass as an online learning platform with lifetime access, and optional 1:1 mentoring. We discuss exact pricing in your free intro call.
Both. You're supported online and – depending on your goal – in person, including WhatsApp support and a network of physiotherapy, medicine and mental training.
Elisabeth Brandau is 18-time German Mountain Bike Champion, Olympic competitor (Tokyo 2020), licensed naturopath and entrepreneur. In SportPerform she passes on the system behind world-class performance.
It depends on your starting point and effort. Many people feel more energy, less discomfort and clearer structure after just a few weeks – sustainable, not short-term.
Cycle-based training adapts load, recovery and nutrition to the hormonal phases of the female cycle instead of following a rigid weekly plan. Important: pain during the cycle is not something women should simply accept – it's a symptom and a signal from the body that should be taken seriously and investigated, not trained away.

Yes, especially so. Elisabeth Brandau is 18-time German Champion and Olympic competitor in MTB XCO – the SportPerformance Method is built directly on her experience from the mountain bike World Cup and transfers just as well to road cycling, cyclocross and other endurance sports.
