In the pursuit of optimal recovery, the significance of sleep cannot be overstated for elite cyclists, including high-level cyclists within the junior category. This study aims to assess the sleep quality of elite athletes of different categories and disciplines, including junior. The sleep quality of 112 high-level cyclists (males = 80; females = 32) participating in endurance and sprint disciplines was evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI).

- The study investigates how the intensity of accumulated work affects power output and performance in male professional cyclists, emphasizing the concept of 'durability'.
- Data was collected from 17 cyclists over a competition season, assessing their maximum mean power (MMP) and critical power (CP) under varying levels of accumulated work and intensity.
- Results showed that high-intensity work (above CP) significantly decreased MMP and CP, while lower-intensity work (below CP) did not affect performance, indicating that simply measuring total work may not accurately reflect fatigue in athletes.
Exploring the Impact of Web-Based vs. In-Person Exercise Training on Benefits and Adherence in Substance Use Disorder Interventions: A Pilot Study.
Healthcare (Basel)
March 2024
Background: Substance use disorders pose unique challenges, affecting individuals physiologically and socially. This study addresses the fundamental question of how adherence to exercise programs impacts those with substance use disorders, examining both in-person and online interventions.
Methods: A 12-week analysis involving 26 participants assessed physical fitness, strength, and quality of life.
Article Synopsis
- - Durability in elite cyclists is linked to their ability to maintain performance after high-intensity efforts, and this study aimed to compare this trait across different performance levels.
- - The study involved 49 male cyclists, divided into categories (U23, Pro Team, World Tour), and assessed their critical power and maximum mean power after accumulating different amounts of work above critical power.
- - Results showed that U23 cyclists experienced significant performance drops at lower levels of accumulated work compared to Pro Team and World Tour cyclists, who demonstrated greater endurance and performance sustainability after high-intensity efforts.
Purpose: To determine if post-exercise heart rate variability, in the form of logged transformed root mean square of successive differences of the R-R intervals (LnRMSSD) can be measured reliably during the recovery from a submaximal cycle test and what the relationship of LnRMSSD is with training status of the cyclists.
Methods: Fourteen male cyclists participated in the reliability part for the study, which included performing six Lamberts Submaximal Cycle Test (LSCT), during which recovery LnRMSSD was measured over 30 s (LnRMSSD), 60 s LnRMSSD)and 90 s LnRMSSD). In addition, fifty male and twenty female cyclists completed a peak power output (PPO) test (including VO) and 40 km time trial (40 km TT) before which they performed the LSCT as a standardized warm-up.
