Changes in cycling efficiency and performance after endurance exercise

Article Abstract:

This article examines the effects of moderately intense exercise on subsequent cycling performance in trained athletes. Results indicate that reductions in mean and peak power output levels, gross efficiency, and overall performance were observed during cycling sessions that followed a five-minute performance test or a thirty-second sprinting session.

Plasma lactate concentrations for self-selected maximal effort lasting one hour

Article Abstract:

This study measures plasma lactate levels in trained athletes after a maximal distance cycling test lasting one hour. Blood samples analyzed by a spectrophotometer indicate that individual differences in plasma lactate levels were not correlated with cycling performance capacity.

Exercise intensity and load during mass-start stage races in professional road cycling

Article Abstract:

This study used competition heart rate recordings and physiological measures to assess the exercise load and physical demands involved in mass-start road cycling stage races. Findings indicate that measures of heart rate, lactate threshold, blood lactate accumulation onset, and training impulse values accurately reflected the demands of cycling stage races.
