Reliability of power meter calibration by mathematical modelling of treadmill cycling
Background & Purpose. In cycling, several physiological values are taken into account to evaluate the performance level of each athlete and/or to plan his training program. One of these values is the maximal power output...
The effect of power alternation frequency during cycling on metabolic load and subsequent running performance
The purpose of this study was to determine whether the frequency of power output alternation during cycling affects subsequent running performance. Eleven male triathletes completed a graded cycle test to determine peak...
The effect of aerodynamic characteristics on the drafting effect in track cycling
Since the aim of the men’s team pursuit is to accomplish a distance of 4000m as fast as possible, reducing aerodynamic drag by means of drafting can attribute in achieving this goal. Broker et al.1 quantified the average...
Effect of environmental temperature on pacing during a simulated 16 km cycling time trial
Background: In cycling time trials (TT) the aim is to produce greatest average power possible for the duration of the effort; to do this an athlete must distribute their effort efficiently to ensure that they do not fati...
Three ways of assessing the forces at the knee and ankle while cycling
The analysis of the biomechanics of the leg while cycling is based on assumptions that make the calculations easier or faster. Most of the models and optimisations based on the dynamic chains introduced by Gonzalez & Hul...
