Read study Physiological Predictors of a super-sprint Triathlon Performance in junior and U23 Triathletes
The mixed-team super-sprint triathlon relay (~300m swimming, ~6.6km cycling and ~1.5km running) performed in teams of four athletes, is the newest Olympic triathlon discipline. Until today, no scientific data is available on the specific physiological attributes. Our study aims to predict a super-sprint triathlon performance from physiological exercise testing. Fourteen…
Read study Can a world class junior cyclist beat a multiple Tour de France winner?
Three-week cycling Grand Tours (Giro d’Italia, Vuelta a Espagna, Tour de France) are one of the most physically demanding and iconic events in sports competition. Stages within the Grand Tours are classified into individual time trials, flat, semi-mountainous and mountain stages. The general classification in Grand Tours is typically won…
Read study INSCYD physiological performance software is valid to determine the maximal lactate steady state in male and female cyclists
The maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) is defined as the highest workload that can be maintained without blood lactate accumulation over time. The power output at MLSS (PMLSS) is regularly implemented to define training zones, quantify training progress, or predict race performance. The gold standard methodology for MLSS determination requires…
Read study Calculated glycolytic power and substrate utilization during a world record marathon in a female runner
Scientific research on marathon performance has focused on aerobic metabolism. However, anaerobic metabolism cannot be neglected as for a given ̇V O2max, the lower the gly- colytic power (VLamax) the higher the metabolic steady-state performance (1–4) and the lower the carbohydrate combustion rate at a given speed (5). In contrast,…
Read study Simulated metabolic responses during high-intensity interval training based on a mathematical model in elite swimmers
High-intensity interval training (HIT) has been described as a training method that strongly stimulates the mechanisms of metabolic, neuromuscular and technical adaptations. Studies focusing on the effects of HIT in swimmers are rare despite its widespread use in practice. It is thought that HIT can powerfully stimulate the three energy…
Read study Discovering the sluggishness of triathlon running – using the attractor method to quantify the impact of the bike-run transition
Running in a triathlon, a so-called brick run, is uniquely influenced by accumulated load from its preceding disciplines. Crucially, however, and irrespective of race type, the demands of a triathlon always exceed the sum of its parts. Triathletes of all levels commonly report subjectively perceived incoordination within the initial stages…
Read study Utility of INSCYD athletic performance software to determine Maximal Lactate Steady State and Maximal Oxygen Uptake in cyclists
Serious amateur and elite athletes regularly take part in structured physiological testing sessions so that their progress gets tracked and training loads in the training plan correctly prescribed. Commonly, athletes are tested for the maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2max) and maximal lactate steady state intensity (MLSS). While for the former expensive…
Read study Load intensity determination in long-distance triathlon with INSCYD athletic performance software
This study evaluates the utility of anaerobic threshold (AT) and maximum carbohydrate (CHO) intake (CarbMax) for predicting intensity in long-distance triathlons. Using INSCYD diagnostic tests on 22 participants, the findings indicate that CarbMax and race performance CHO combustion (CHORP) are better estimators for optimal racing intensity than AT. Average CHO…
