Effects of different training protocols on the heart rate variability of trained cyclists
Background: Studies have shown that measures of HRV can be useful for monitoring the training load in cycling. However, most of these studies are observational and have not assessed the impact of cumulative days of train...
Optimal Cycling Strategies for two Cooperating Riders
Winning a stage of the Tour de France depends on several factors. Besides preparation and the physiological and mental condition, the racing strategy plays a major role. There have been several works that determine opti...
Incorporating internal mechanical power into performance models in cycling
Background: A number of models have been developed to establish the energy cost of cycling. These models have become better refined to account for the various energy demands, including air and rolling resistances. Among...
Influence of pacing on reliability of middledistance cycling performance
The purpose of the present study was to examine the reliability of middle distance cycling time trials using fast-, even-, and slow-starts. Eighteen endurance-trained male cyclists [mean ± standard deviation; VO2peak 63....
A quantitative flow visualization technique for on-site sport aerodynamics optimization
Aerodynamics plays a crucial role in cycling as in many other speed sports. Aerodynamic investigation is required primarily for two reasons: 1. Optimization of the athletes’ posture and equipment geometry (e.g. bicycl...
