Assessing current fatigue of athletes to fine-tune training prescriptions is a critical task in competitive sports. Blood-borne surrogate markers are widely used despite the scarcity validation trials with representative subjects and interventions. Moreover, differences between modes disciplines (e.g. due eccentric force production or calorie turnover) have rarely been studied within consistent design. Therefore, we investigated blood-borne during after discipline-specific simulated camps. A...
Abstract Purpose Portable near-infrared spectroscopy devices allow measurements of muscle oxygen saturation (SmO 2 ) in real time and non-invasively. To use NIRS for typical applications including intensity control load monitoring, the day-to-day variability needs to be known interpret changes confidently. This study investigates absolute relative test–retest reliability Moxy Monitor side differences SmO at vastus lateralis both legs cyclists. Methods Twelve trained cyclists triathletes...
Introduction In some endurance sports, athletes complete several competitions within a short period, resulting in accumulated fatigue. It is unclear whether fatigued choose the same pacing pattern (PP) as when they have recovered. Purpose This study aimed to analyze effects of fatigue on PP cyclists during 40-km time trial (TT). Methods Twenty-three male (28.8 ± 7.6 yr) completed three TT cycle ergometer. were conducted before (TT1) and after (TT2) 6-d training period. A third was carried...
The Lamberts and Lambert Submaximal Cycle Test (LSCT) is a novel test designed to monitor performance fatigue/recovery in cyclists. Studies have shown the ability predict performance; however, there lack of studies concerning monitoring fatigue/recovery. In this study, 23 trained male cyclists (age 29 ± 8 y, VO2max 59.4 7.4 mL · min(-1) kg(-1)) completed training camp. LSCT was conducted on days 1, 8, 11. After day an intensive 6-day period performed. Between 11, recovery realized. consists...
The intensity that elicits maximal fat oxidation (Fatmax) is recommended for training metabolism. However, it remains unclear whether Fatmax leads to the highest rates during prolonged exercise. It was hypothesized there are no differences in among 3 different exercise intensities. Therefore, metabolism compared 1-h constant load tests at Fatmax, a higher and lower intensity. A cohort of 16 male cyclists (28±6 yrs, BMI: 22.5±1.2 kg/m2; n=8 with oxygen uptake [VO2max] 50-60 ml/min/kg [ET];...
