High-Intensity Interval Eccentric Cycling: Acute And Chronic Effects, Marcin Lipski
Theses: Doctorates and Masters
Eccentric cycling training has been prescribed in continuous and low intensities protocols, based on concentric cycling parameters. While the lower metabolic demand of eccentric than concentric cycling is advantageous for clinical or ‘at-risk’ populations, it is a disadvantage for cardiovascular and pulmonary adaptations. High-intensity interval protocols may increase both, strength and endurance. Thus, this research project compared i) an incremental concentric and eccentric cycling test until exhaustion for the relationship between power output and physiological parameters <Study1>; ii) interval and continuous eccentric cycling protocols for oxygen consumption, perceived exertion and enjoyment <Study 2>; and iii) aerobic performance, muscle …
