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.

A measurement system for the bicycle crank angle using a wireless motion sensor attached to the crank arm
In this study, we propose a system for measuring the rotational angle of a bicycle crank arm. This system consists of a wireless motion sensor with bi-axial acceleration and angular velocity sensors attached to the crank...
An investigation of the underlying mechanisms of overtraining in a natural experimental model
According to the definitions described in the literature ‘overtraining’ is used as a verb, a process of intensified training with possible outcomes of functional overreaching [FOR], nonfunctional overreaching [NFOR] or o...
The effects of different strength training regimes on cycling performance
Background: There is conflicting literature on the effect of strength training on road cycling performance, with the most recent literature showing a positive effect with maximal strength training (Rønnestad & Mujika, 20...
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...
Physiological characteristics of elite vs non-elite enduro mountain bike cyclists
Enduro mountain bike racing debuted internationally in 2013 as the Enduro World Series (EWS). Riders compete individually on multiple timed predominantly downhill stages and travel generally uphill between stages eithe...
