A 3-min all-out test to determine peak oxygen uptake and the maximal steady state

Article Abstract:

A study is conducted to test the hypothesis that a 3-min all-out cycling test provide a measure of peak oxygen uptake V[O.sub.2peak] and estimate the maximal steady-state power output. The power profile in a 3-min all-out test against a fixed resistance is reproducible and this test can be used to establish V[O.sub.2peak] in adults.

Determination of critical power using a 3-min all-out cycling test

Article Abstract:

The hypothesis that the power output attained at the end of a 3-min all-out cycling is equivalent to critical power is tested. Results indicate that the power output declines and decreases in the last few seconds of the test to a relatively steady level almost identical to an independently measured critical power.

Effects of prior warm-up regime on severe-intensity cycling performance

Article Abstract:

A study was conducted to determine the effect of three different warm-up regimes on cycling work output during a 7-minute performance trial. The data obtained indicates that priming exercise performed in the moderate- and heavy-intensity domains can improve severe-intensity cycling performance by 2-3%.
