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.

Laboratory predictors of uphill cycling time trial performance
Background: A field test which can be easily integrated into the training routine of cyclists to monitor performance changes is valuable. It has been demonstrated that when performing a 20-min outdoor time trial (TT), cy...
Effect of hand cooling on body temperature, cardiovascular and perceptual responses during recumbent cycling in a hot environment
Exercise in hot environments increases body temperature and challenges the function of cardiovascular, metabolic and thermoregulatory systems. Elevated body temperature as a consequence of prolonged and/or intense exerci...
Relationship between physiological and biomechanical variables with aerobic power output in cycling
Performance in cycling may be determined by physiological and biomechanical parameters. The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between biomechanical and physiological variables with aerobic power output in...
Orthotic insoles show effects on knee kinematics during pedaling in recreational cyclists
Orthotic insoles in cycling shoes are an intervention used to correct pedaling mechanics in riders, which has received little attention in the literature. This study was designed to test the hypothesis that the use of or...
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...
