Modelling the energy metabolism of best performances in professional cycling
Journal Title: Journal of Science and Cycling - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
It is widely accepted that the muscular energy metabolism is of primary importance for best performances in professional cycling. However the dynamics of the muscular energy metabolism can neither get accessed directly nor measured adequately during actual race situations.

Individualising training intensity to reduce inter-individual variability in training response in trained cyclists
Training to improve endurance performance commonly results in large inter-individual variability (IIV) in response (Bouchard et al. [1998]. Medicine and Science in Sports and Exercise, 30(2), 252–258; Mann et al. [2014]....
Acute effects of small changes in crank length on gross efficiency and pedalling technique during submaximal cycling
Background: To the best of our knowledge, only four experimental studies analysed the influence of the crank length in the efficiency of energy consumption. No significant differences were found on metabolic cost while p...
Does six-weeks of high-intensity cycle training with induced changes in acid-base balance lead to mitochondrial adaptations?
Background: Endurance training leads to an improved ability of muscle to utilize oxygen. This is related to an increased density and function of mitochondria. The biogenesis and adaptation of mitochondria is a complex pr...
Power-velocity curve: relevance of the SRM Ergometer for simulated cycling performance and constant duration tests
Introduction: When trying to obtain cycling performance capacity, a controlled laboratory setting is required to obtain valid and reliable results [1]. Ecological validity is important, as several studies found poor agre...
Analysis of performances at the ‘Ironman Hawaii triathlon’ and its qualifier events with respect to nationality
Ergometers and stationary bicycle trainers are commonly used in laboratories to simulate overground riding. Missing from such instrumentation, however, is any demand for balance and the fraction of the metabolic cost ass...
