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 …

The potentiating effects of different warm-up protocols on sprint cycling performance
… 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 modified band resistance (MBR) back squat, offered advantages over a standard resistance (SR) back squat or a standard …

Assessment of joint kinetics in elite sprint cyclists
Sprint cycling requires the production of explosive muscle power outputs up to very high pedalling rates. The ability to assess muscular function through the course of the sprint would aid training practices for high-level performers. Inverse dynamics provides a non-invasive means of estimating the …

The Ergogenic Effects of Oxygen Supplementation on Cycling Performance
… enhancing benefits, particularly during repeated sprint exercise. The first aim, examined in study 1, was designed to investigate the effects of oxygen supplementation on repeat sprint cycle performance. Studies 2 and 3 followed on with aims to investigate mechanisms that underlie these …

The Effect of Creatine Supplementation on Muscle Fuel Stores, Body Composition, and Exercise Performance During Energy Restriction
… after energy restriction consisted of a repeated sprint cycle performance test (10 sprints of 6s, with 30s rest), hydrostatic weighing, and resting needle muscle biopsy. Testing revealed that subjects in CrS and Pl demonstrated significant decreases in body weight and % body fat (%BF) with no …

ENHANCING EXERCISE PERFORMANCE THROUGH ISCHAEMIC PRECONDITIONING
… model, that aimed to maximise repeated sprint ability (RSA). Eleven trained cyclists performed 4 experimental visits in a repeated measures design. The “traditional” 4x5-minute local IPC (IPC) dose was compared to a SHAM condition (20 mmHg). IPC or SHAM were performed on two separate …

Enhancing Team Pursuit Performance using Blood Flow Restriction
… determinants of 4-km team-pursuit (TP) track cycling performance and critically evaluated the use of modelling finite work capacity (W′) and its dynamic balance (W′BAL) during the TP. This thesis also examined the integration of blood flow restriction (BFR) into high-intensity interval …
