Enhancing cycling performance using an eccentric chainring

Article Abstract:

This article compares the athletic performance and physiological responses of of elite cyclists using either eccentric or round chainrings, a bicycle part used to mediate pedaling torque. Findings indicate that there were no physiological differences between cyclists, but subjects using eccentric chainrings had significantly improved athletic performance.

The effect of exercise modality on respiratory muscle performance in triathletes

Article Abstract:

This article discusses the relationship between respiratory muscle strength and endurance. An analysis of athletes' breathing patterns, gas exchange, exercise intensity, and maximal respiratory pressure is presented.

Ventilatory responses during experimental cycle-run transition in triathletes

Article Abstract:

Research determining effects of cycling on subsequent triathlon runs is presented. The pulmonary patterns of cycling followed by running, exercise-induced hypoxemia, and respiratory muscle fatigue are discussed.
