183. DOES FRUCTOSE HELP TO RECOVER BETTER FOR THE NEXT RIDE? - BY JON ECHEPARE

Recovery between training sessions is one of the most important nutritional challenges in endurance sports.

182. ALTITUDE RESPONDERS AND NON-RESPONDERS: TRUTH OR MYTH?

Altitude training typically consists of 3–4 weeks of living and training at altitude, usually above ~2,000 m a.s.l. One of its main goals is to improve endurance performance through an increase in haemoglobin mass (Hbmass).

181. THE HIGHER THE VO2MAX, THE GREATER THE PERFORMANCE DECLINE AT ALTITUDE

“It depends on the athlete” is probably one of the most overused phrases in sport science.

180. HIT WITH BLOOD FLOW RESTRICTION (BFR) INDUCES SIMILAR ADAPTATIONS WITH LESS MECHANICAL LOAD

Blood Flow Restriction Training (BFRT) is a training technique that involves partially restricting blood flow to the exercising limbs, typically using inflatable cuffs or elastic bands.

179. THE LINEAR RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ALTITUDE AND AEROBIC PERFORMANCE DECLINE

Altitude exposure typically refers to elevations of 1,800–2,000 m above sea level (a.s.l.) or higher.

178. DOES RIDING AT THE TOP OF ZONE 2 IMPROVE PERFORMANCE MORE?

Low-intensity training (Zone 1/2 using a 5- or 7-zone intensity model) is a cornerstone of endurance training.

VO2MAX WEB APP — 5-MIN MAX POWER METHOD

Hi there!

177. MENTHOL FOR CYCLISTS: ANOTHER WAY TO BEAT THE HEAT - BY DR JEFF ROTHSCHILD

Menthol is the compound that gives mint its cooling sensation, and it shows up in gels, sprays, mouth rinses, and increasingly in cycling nutrition products marketed for hot-weather racing.

176. ARE GLYCOLYTIC HIT INTERVALS BAD FOR AEROBIC FITNESS?

Speed Endurance Training (SET) consists of 20-60 sec all-out or near to maximal efforts with long (2-5min) complete recovery.

175. PMEP 5 - THE MUSCLE DAMAGE/TRAUMA MODEL

In this KIW Research Note, we continue our series examining the physiological models proposed to explain fatigue during prolonged exercise.
