Treadmill cycling trial in diagnostics endurance preparation of MTB cyclists before Olympic Games or World Championship
Journal Title: Journal of Science and Cycling - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
The evaluation of endurance preparation of MTB cyclists in conditions corresponding to the specificity of routes of World Championship (WCh) and Olympic Games (OG) is very difficult. Treadmill cycling trials are used in order to make working conditions similar to the conditions of a race (Miller et al. 2014 J. Sci. Cycling 3(2) 85). The choice of an optimal tactics to be used on the whole distance is conditioned by information about the effectiveness of energetic sources in the course of an MTB cyclist’s interval effort of 90-135 min, in which aerobic metabolism is the dominant one.
