An improved methodology for estimating critical power from mean maximal power output data.

The aim of this study was to determine if Critical Power (CP) and W' can be estimated from mean maximal power output (MMP) data collected in cycling races. Data were collected from 13 under 23 professional cyclists (mean ± SD; age, 19.5 ± 1.

Predictors of cycling performance success: Traditional approaches and a novel method to assess performance capacity in U23 road cyclists.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate predictors of cycling performance in U23 cyclists by comparing traditional approaches to a novel method - the compound score. Thirty male U23 cyclists (N = 30, age 20.1 ± 1.

The Relationship between Physiological Characteristics and Durability in Male Professional Cyclists.

Purpose: This study aimed to determine if durability can be predicted from laboratory measures in a professional cycling population.

Methods: Data were collected from 10 professional cyclists (age = 19.2 ± 0.

The relationship between training characteristics and durability in professional cyclists across a competitive season.

This study investigated the influence of training characteristics on the fatigued power profile in professional cyclists. Data was collected from 30 under 23 professional cyclists (age: 20.1 ± 1.

Power profiling and the power-duration relationship in cycling: a narrative review.

Emerging trends in technological innovations, data analysis and practical applications have facilitated the measurement of cycling power output in the field, leading to improvements in training prescription, performance testing and race analysis. This review aimed to critically reflect on power profiling strategies in association with the power-duration relationship in cycling, to provide an updated view for applied researchers and practitioners. The authors elaborate on measuring power output followed by an outline of the methodological approaches to power profiling.

Power Profiling, Workload Characteristics, and Race Performance of U23 and Professional Cyclists During the Multistage Race Tour of the Alps.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to compare the power profile, internal and external workloads, and racing performance between U23 and professional cyclists and between varying rider types across 2 editions of a professional multistage race.

Methods: Nine U23 cyclists from a Union Cycliste Internationale "Continental Team" (age 20.8 [0.

Power Profiling in U23 Professional Cyclists During a Competitive Season.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate changes in the power profile of U23 professional cyclists during a competitive season based on maximal mean power output (MMP) and derived critical power (CP) and work capacity above CP (W') obtained during training and racing.

Methods: A total of 13 highly trained U23 professional cyclists (age = 21.1 [1.

Training Characteristics and Power Profile of Professional U23 Cyclists throughout a Competitive Season.

Background: The purpose of this study was to investigate differences in the power profile derived from training and racing, the training characteristics across a competitive season and the relationships between training and power profile in U23 professional cyclists.

Methods: Thirty male U23 professional cyclists (age, 20.0 ± 1.
