testing peak cycling performance: effects of braking force during growth

Article Abstract:

Results indicate that peak power is dependent on breaking force and the optimal braking force is lower in children than in adults. Data point out that the relationship between cycling peak power and braking force is related to the growth and maturation of leg muscles in the two groups.

short-term peak power changes in adolescents of similar anthropometric characteristics

Article Abstract:

Results indicate that adolescents with similar anthropometric characteristics such as lean leg volume, leg length, and percentage body fat exhibit differences in the cycling peak power with respect to optimal velocity and optimal force. Data show that within the prepubertal, pubertal and postpubertal groups the cycling peak power increases with age.

Longitudinal changes of maximal short-term peak power in girls and boys during growth

Article Abstract:

A study to analyze the influence of age, body mass, and lean leg volume (LLV) on short term leg peak power (Pmax) of young boys and girls from 7.5 to 17 .5 years, during growth using multilevel regression analysis and to compare the regression results of boys and girls is presented. Results show a significant increase in Pmax in boys than in girls with the gender differences being explained by the neuromuscular determinants of contraction velocity.
