Determining the optimal balance between training load and recovery contributes to peak performance in well‐trained athletes. The measurement of heart rate (HRR) monitor this has become popular. However, it is not known whether impairment performance, which associated with training‐induced fatigue, accompanied by a change HRR. Therefore, aim study was retrospectively analyze relationship changes HRR cycling group cyclists ( n =14) who participated 4‐week high‐intensity (HIT) program. Subjects...

Purpose : To investigate how cycling time-trial (TT) performance changes over a season, both in “fresh” state and “fatigued” (durability). Additionally, the aim was to explore whether these are related underlying physiological factors such as gross efficiency, energy expenditure (EE), substrate oxidation (fat [FatOx] carbohydrate [CarbOx]). Methods Sixteen male semiprofessional cyclists visited laboratory on 3 occasions during season (PRE, START, IN) underwent test fresh fatigued states...

A change in heart rate at a controlled submaximal exercise intensity is used as marker of training status. However, the standard error measurement has not been studied systematically, and therefore rate, which can be considered relevant, determined. Forty-four subjects (26.5 +/- 5.4 years; mean deviation) participated running test same time day for 5 consecutive days. Heart rates were determined during each 4 intensities (2 minutes each) increasing 1-minute recovery period after stage. The...
