2017
Master's thesis Sports Science ME517 - University of Agder 2017 Background: The validity of a currently used condensed indoor test protocols (C-TP) as measurement of competitive cycling performance is questioned. Purpose: C-TP contain testing of wattage at lactate threshold (LTW), maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max) and a Wingate anaerobic test (WAnT), performed consecutively during one session. As comparison these tests were separated and performed individually over three consecutive days, giving a non-condensed test protocol (NC-TP). The results were compared to a 5min all-out cycling test (5min all-out) performed individually and as part of a 185 minutes’ race simulation. Method: During …
