Modelling of cycling power data and its application for anti-doping
Journal Title: Journal of Science and Cycling - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Since the introduction of the Athlete Biological Passport (ABP), research studies have suggested that there is risk of false-positive results due to a variety of factors that act to compromise its sensitivity to detect unusual variations in haematological parameters. Thus, the possibility of extending the ABP by proposing additional confounding variables, such as athlete performance data, is attractive.

Computer modelling of energy turnover and body temperatures in elite cyclists during climbing: steep, steeper, Angliru; cold, colder, Gavia
Climbing very steep mountain roads (e.g. Monte Zoncolan, Angliru) or high passes with sub- zero temperatures at the summit (e.g. Gavia, Stelvio) imposes intense stress on the physiological system during professional bicy...
