European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2011, 111(8):1687-1694 Age-related changes in conventional road versus off-road triathlon performance
The aims of this study were: i) to analyze age-related declines in swimming, cycling, and running performances for road-based and off-road triathlons, and ii) to compare age-related changes in these three disciplines between road-based and off-road triathlons. Swimming, cycling, running and total time performances of the top 5 males between 20 and 70 years of age (in 5 year intervals) were anal...
متن کاملCorrelations between physiological variables and performance in high level cross country off road cyclists.
OBJECTIVES To examine the relations between maximal and submaximal indices of aerobic fitness and off road cycling performance in a homogeneous group of high level mountain bikers. METHODS 12 internationally competitive mountain bikers completed the study. Maximum oxygen uptake (Vo(2max)), peak power output (PPO), power output (PO), and oxygen uptake (Vo(2)) at first (VT) and second (RCT) ven...
متن کاملDifferences in gender and performance in off-road triathlon.
The aims of this study were: (1) to examine performance trends and compare elite male and female athletes at the off-road triathlon (1.5-km swim, 30-km mountain biking, and 11-km trail running) world championships since its inception in 1996, and (2) to compare gender-related differences between off-road triathlon and conventional road-based triathlon. Linear regression analyses and ANOVA were ...
متن کاملGross efficiency and cycling economy are higher in the field as compared with on an Axiom stationary ergometer.
This study was designed to examine the biomechanical and physiological responses between cycling on the Axiom stationary ergometer (Axiom, Elite, Fontaniva, Italy) vs. field conditions for both uphill and level ground cycling. Nine cyclists performed cycling bouts in the laboratory on an Axiom stationary ergometer and on their personal road bikes in actual road cycling conditions in the field w...
متن کاملUnderstanding sprint-cycling performance: the integration of muscle power, resistance, and modeling.
Sprint-cycling performance is paramount to competitive success in over half the world-championship and Olympic races in the sport of cycling. This review examines the current knowledge behind the interaction of propulsive and resistive forces that determine sprint performance. Because of recent innovation in field power-measuring devices, actual data from both elite track- and road-cycling spri...
