Factors related to cycling performance
… and a Conconi incremental test) are related to performance in mass-start long-distance bicycle races. The second goal was to investigate inter-relationships among field test variables. The testing variables measured were critical velocity (CV), Conconi anaerobic threshold (AT) velocity, 4mM AT …

Analysis of road sprint cycling performance
Sprint cycling ability is a key determinant of road cycling performance, with many races designed specifically for sprinters. The ability to excel in the final sprint is relevant for both individual riders and teams. Despite the importance of sprints within professional road cycling, the …

PHYSIOLOGICAL ADAPTATIONS TO HEAT ACCLIMATION; REPERCUSSIONS ON CYCLING PERFORMANCE
… and the effect on intermittent sprint performance and 3) to examine the phenomena of cross- acclimation where the stressors of one environment (heat), might convey a performance benefit in alternative environments (cool and hypoxia). Results from chapter 4 and 5 characterised the …

The Ergogenic Effects of Oxygen Supplementation on Cycling Performance
… was related time trial and time to exhaustion performances, i.e. predominately aerobic activities. However, more recently, oxygen supplementation has also been shown to benefit high intensity short duration activity. This thesis aimed to further examine how oxygen supplementation may offer …

Physiological and metabolic responses to constant and variable load cycling performance
… associated with constant and variable load cycling performance are examined.

The effect of body position, configuration, and orientation on cycling performance
… tube angle) and configurations (hip angle) on cycling performance while controlling for body orientation (trunk angle with respect to the ground). Sixteen male subjects (21-35 years of age) were tested in each of five different body positions (0, 25, 50, 75, and 100 degrees) as defined by the …

The potentiating effects of different warm-up protocols on sprint cycling performance
… post activation potentiation (PAP) of athletic performance, this study investigated whether using accommodating resistance or modified band resistance (MBR) will enhance sprint performance more than using a standard resistance (SR) load or a standard warm-up. Investigations determined whether a …

The effect of oral creatine supplementation on one hour cycling performance and metabolism
… with 20 g/day for 7 days on one-hour cycling performance and metabolism was investigated in a double-blind placebo controlled study. Twenty endurance-trained male cyclists volunteered for the study that was approved by the University of Cape Town ethics committee. The subjects' peak …

A STUDY OF THE THERMAL CYCLING PERFORMANCE OF SOLDER JOINTS IN AREA ARRAY PACKAGING
… monitoring methodology to study the performance of solder joints under thermal cycling test. The quality of the solder joints in this research work from growth to failure was monitored by using a type of ultrasonic inspection called acoustic micro imaging (AMI). Results indicate that …

The effects of carbohydrate and protein hydrolysate co-ingestion upon exercise metabolism and cycling performance
… supplementation provide no additional performance enhancing effects in comparison to a typical CHO only solution. However, the inclusion of protein from marine sources within a CHO solution may influence substrate utilisation during prolonged steady-state exercise.

The effects of hand and forearm cooling on self-paced cycling performance in the heat.
… of hand and forearm per-cooling on self-paced cycling performance in the heat. We hypothesized that continuous, localized cooling would attenuate thermal strain and improve thermal sensation, thereby enhancing performance during a 20-km cycling time trial (TT). Ten trained cyclists (7 male, 3 …

The effects of water ingestion on high intensity cycling performance in a moderate ambient temperature
… loss measured in a previous 1 h familiarisation performance ride at ~85% of peak oxygen uptake (VO₂ peak) with artificially sweetened, coloured water (F). During F the cyclists drank 1.49 ± 0.14 1 (values are mean± SEM), of which 0.27 ± 0.08 1 remained in the stomach at the end of exercise and …

The effect of short high intensity intermitent training on pain tolerance and self-paced cycling performance
… pain tolerance and self-paced exercise performance. Consequently, we investigated the effect of a short HIIT intervention on pain tolerance and 5 km time trial (TT) cycling performance. Methods Participants (n=18) were randomly assigned and completed either three (Ex-1; n=9) or six HIIT …

The development of an evidenced-based submaximal cycle test designed to monitor and predict cycling performance : the Lamberts and Lambert submaximal cycle test (LSCT)
The HIMS test, which consists of controlled exercise at increasing workloads, has been developed to monitor changes in training status and accumulative fatigue in athletes. As the workload can influence the day-to-day variation in heart rate, the exercise intensity which is associated with the …
