Modeling intermittent cycling performance in hypoxia using the critical power concept
Journal Title: Journal of Science and Cycling - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Recently, a novel model derived from the critical power (CP) concept was developed to determine W’ balance (W’BAL) during variable intensity exercise. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of hypoxia on the efficacy of the W’BAL model during high-intensity intermittent exercise.
