    Introduction: This work proposes an eccentric training strength program as an alternative to improve sports performance on hills in cyclists, verifying the effectiveness of this novel training modality in cyclists through appropriate and specific exercises for this type of sports population. At the same time, determine the benefits of eccentric exercises in sports to improve and enhance their athletic conditions, increasing their performance both in sports and personally. This intervention arises from the interest in improving the performance of athletes in their cycling discipline and at the same time providing an important guide for their daily training. Objective: To analyze the effect of an eccentric strength training program to improve sports performance on hills in cyclists. Method: This research is interventional, analytical, with a quantitative, prospective, longitudinal and application-level approach. It will be carried out at the CotopaxiEcuador Provincial Sports Federation with an 8-week intervention: where the first week will be used for the initial evaluation, then the eccentric exercise protocol will begin for 7 weeks and finally the effects obtained from the proposed strength program will be evaluated. The parameters to be evaluated are strength with the 1RM test (1Maximum Resistance) with two tests, one a squat and the other a quadriceps extension bench press; and, finally, sports performance with two field tests: 1 and 5 minute time trials on hills, where heart rate, speed and distance traveled will be measured. Conclusions: The eccentric training strength program combined with eccentric exercises proves to be an effective intervention to improve strength and sports performance in cyclists.
