To validate the new drive indoor trainer Hammer designed by Cycleops®.A total of 11 cyclists performed 44 randomized and counterbalanced graded exercise tests (100-500 W) at 70-, 85-, 100-rpm cadences in seated standing positions on 3 different units, while a scientific SRM system continuously recorded cadence power output data.No significant differences were detected between devices for any workload, cadence, or pedaling condition (P value 1.00 .350), except some minor = .03 .04) found 1...
We aimed to determine the feasibility, test–retest reliability and long-term stability of a novel method for assessing force (torque)-velocity (cadence) profile maximal dynamic (MDF) during leg-pedaling using friction-loaded isoinertial cycle ergometer high-precision power-meter device. Fifty-two trained male cyclists completed progressive loading test up one-repetition maximum (1RM) on ergometer. The MDF was defined as attained at performed with 1RM-load. To examine torque–cadence values,...
This study aimed to examine the validity and reliability of recently developed Assioma Favero pedals under laboratory cycling conditions. In total, 12 well-trained male cyclists triathletes (VO2max = 65.7 ± 8.7 mL·kg−1·min−1) completed five tests including graded exercises (GXT) at different cadences (70–100 revolutions per minute, rpm), workloads (100–650 Watts, W), pedaling positions (seated standing), vibration stress (20–40 Hz), an 8-s maximal sprint. Tests were using a calibrated direct...
Three to 5 cycling tests exhaustion allow prediction of time (TTE) at power output based on calculation critical (CP). We aimed determine the accuracy CP predictions TTE outputs habitually endured by cyclists. Fourteen endurance-trained male cyclists underwent 4 randomized cycle-ergometer eliciting (i) mean Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT ), (ii) maximal oxygen consumption, (iii) respiratory compensation threshold (VT 2 and (iv) lactate steady state (MLSS). Tests were conducted in duplicate...

To examine the reproducibility (intradevice and interdevice agreement) of Rotor 2INpower device under a wide range cycling conditions.Twelve highly trained male cyclists triathletes completed 5 tests, including graded exercise tests at different cadences (70-100 rpm), workloads (100-650 W), pedaling positions (seated standing), vibration conditions (20-40 Hz) an 8-second maximal sprint (>1000 W). An intradevice analysis included comparison between power output registered by 3 units 2INpower,...
Workload is calculated from exercise volume and intensity. In endurance sports, intensity has been measured using heart rate or RPE, giving rise to load indexes such as sRPE TRIMP. cycling, the advent of power meters led new indexes, TSS. All these have limitations, especially for high exercise. Therefore, a index cycling proposed, Power Profile Index (PPi), which includes weighting factor obtained relative stage type. Using data 67 WorldTour cyclists fatigue records in different types 102...
The main aim of this study is to assess the validity a new cycling protocol estimate Maximal Lactate Steady-State workload (MLSS) through one-day incremental (1day_MLSS). Eleven well-trained male cyclists performed 3 4 trials 30-min constant load test (48-72h in between) determine their respective MLSS workload. Then, on separate days, each cyclist carried out two identical graded exercise tests, comprised four 10-minute long stages, with initial at 63% maximal aerobic power, 0.2 W·Kg-1...

It seems sensible to establish that TTE in laboratories for each cyclist and specific physiologic event, involves a very high cost human resources, time, materials, as well been highly demanding cyclists from the physiological point of view. These facts preclude its widespread use most them. However, it is also evident although potentiometers field analysis power profiles based on times represent future, must be recognized that, without basic research carried out around world during last...
