O2score device: analysis of the kinetics of recovery after exercise
Journal Title: Journal of Science and Cycling - Year 2016, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
The O2Score system was recently developed as a mobile device able to measure the quantity of antioxidants in the body. Since the quantity of antioxidants is modified during effort (to provide a defense system against free radicals [1]) it appears that O2Score system could be used to follow and control the recovery of athletes. However, no known study was conducted to test the relevance of O2Score system.

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...
Bike fitting: finding an optimum between performance and overuse injuries prevention? Influence of saddle fore-aft position on pedalling effectiveness
There exists a great range of possibilities offered to cyclists to adjust their equipment. The influence of some bike adjustments as well as the interactions between them on the performance and/or the biomechanics of ped...
Spectral properties of muscle activation during incremental cycling test
It is uncertain whether fatigue and workload would affect muscle recruitment during cycling. To infer on changes in priority for recruitment of motor units, we assessed the combined effects of fatigue and workload during...
Optimisation of cycling training
Introduction: Training is fundamental to improving athletic performance, and progressive training schedules are commonly adopted. However, the quantification and optimisation of a progressive training schedule in order t...
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...
