Purpose Supplementation with inorganic nitrate has been suggested to be an ergogenic aid for athletes as nitric oxide donor. The purpose of this study was determine whether ingestion sodium benefits well-trained performing a 40-min exercise test in laboratory conditions. In addition, we investigated the effect supplement on plasma levels endothelin-1 (ET-1) and nitrated proteins. Methods Thirteen trained participated randomized, double-blind, crossover study. They performed cycle ergometer...

J Strength Cond Res 26(11): 3025–3029, 2012—In cycling, proper is important because it contributes to the mechanical work joints, thus altering pedaling efficiency. The appropriate method select optimal still unknown. This study was conducted compare a static (anthropometric measurements) (2D analysis) adjust...
The aim of the present study was to assess acute effects small changes in bicycle saddle height on gross efficiency (GE) and lower-limb kinematics. Well-trained cyclists (n = 14) performed a submaximal pedaling test (~70-75% v[Combining Dot Above]O2max) at constant cadence (90 rpm). It consisted 3 randomized sets 6 minutes with preferred height, 2% higher lower. Gross significantly lower oxygen consumption (v[Combining Above]O2) when raising (GE 19.9 ± 1.5%; V[Combining Above]O2max 43.8...
The main purpose of this study was to assess the acute effects small changes in crank length (assumable by competitive cyclists) on metabolic cost and pedalling technique during submaximal cycling. Twelve amateur road cyclists performed three sets (150, 200 250 W) at a constant cadence (91.3 ± 0.8 rpm) randomised order with commonly used lengths, preferred (172.5-175 mm), +5 mm -5 mm. Energy pedalling, kinetic kinematic variables were simultaneously registered. Changes had no significant...

J Strength Cond Res 35(2): 519-526, 2021-The popularity cycling has increased fitness centers, therefore, proper bike fitting is important to avoid biomechanical-related injuries. However, no previous studies have compared the biomechanical kinematics various existing protocols saddle-height adjustment Furthermore, it was not clear if these were...
There is evidence that both omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFAs) and choline can influence sports performance, but information establishing their combined effects when given in the form of krill oil during power training protocols missing. The purpose this study was therefore to characterize n-3 PUFA profiles after a one-hour period high-intensity physical workout 12 weeks supplementation. Thirty-five healthy athletes received either 2.5 g/day Neptune oilTM (550 mg EPA/DHA 150...
Background: To the best of our knowledge, only four experimental studies analysed influence crank length in efficiency energy consumption. No significant differences were found on metabolic cost while pedalling with lengths between 145 and 200 mm. None these took into account changes technique (kinetic kinematic profile), which might affect both consumption muscular activity profile lower limb (Astrand, 1953: Arbeitsphysiologie, 15, 23-32; Klimt & Voigt, 1974: European Journal Applied...
El principal objetivo de este estudio es analizar el efecto pequeños cambios en la longitud biela gasto energético y técnica pedaleo submáximo. Participaron 12 ciclistas fondo carretera bien entrenados, que realizaron pruebas a tres potencias con cadencia estable, utilizando longitudes (en orden aleatorio). Sus bicicletas fueron exactamente reproducidas un ergómetro medía torque ejercido sobre izquierda derecha forma independiente. Simultáneamente se registró cinemática 2D pierna al...
Modifications in saddle height affect the range of movement lower limb’s joints during pedalling. Although its effect on patterns is poorly understood. The purpose this study was to analyse acute effects small changes bicycle pedalling coordination and variability. Lower extremity kinematic data were collected random order for ten well-trained cyclists while at three different heights: preferred, 2% higher than preferred position. A dynamical systems approach used quantify variability...
