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.

BOOK OF ABSTRACTS Open Access The influence of aerobic fitness on the oxygen uptake kinetics of trained cyclists
Introduction: The oxygen uptake kinetics of cyclists with O2max values associated with Elite standards has not been investigated. A hypothesis was tested stating that trained cyclists have faster oxygen uptake responses...
The effect of time-trial duration on aerodynamic drag
Aerodynamic drag is the main resistance (80-90 %) among the total resistive forces (RT, N) opposing motion on level ground in cycling (Debraux et al. 2011). To reduce air resistance, cyclists adopt a characteristic time...
Physiological demands of road sprinting in professional and U23 cycling. A pilot study
This pilot study described and compared the power output (absolute, relative to body weight and relative to frontal area) recorded during successful road sprints in professional and under 23 men’s cycling races. The stud...
Do core stabilization exercises enhance cycling efficiency?
Background: Core stabilization exercises have been advertised as potential enhancers of endurance and efficiency in cycling. A steady core is said to allow for proper body positioning, preventing unnecessary energy loss...
