Field and laboratory correlates of performance in competitive cross-country mountain bikers

Article Abstract:

A laboratory test is designed with variable fixed intensities to simulate cross-country mountain biking and the results are compared with other commonly used laboratory tests and mountain bike performance. The results have shown that cross-country mountain biking is similar to uphill or hilly road cycling.
