Laboratory And Field-Based Correlates Of Off-Road Cycling Performance, Joshua Adams
Laboratory And Field-Based Correlates Of Off-Road Cycling Performance, Joshua Adams
Boise State University Theses and Dissertations
The aims of this study were to identify physiologic characteristics among trained off-road cyclists and correlate them with a field-based time trial to determine predictors of live performance. Fourteen trained male off-road cyclists were recruited for this study, and measured for maximum aerobic capacity (VO2max), peak aerobic power (Wpeak), maximum anaerobic power (Wmax), time trial performance (sec), and climbing ability (vertical feet per second – VFS). VO2max and Wpeak were measured during an incremental cycling test to exhaustion, Wmax was measured during a 30-second Wingate test and time trial, and VFS …

A Comparison Of Three Bicycle Pedal Types And Power Output, Brandon Kuhn
Master's Theses
The purpose of this study was to examine the power output over a 30-second maximum effort bicycle sprint with three different pedal types; clipless, toe-strap, and flat. The participants for this investigation were eight (7 males and 1 female) mountain bikers with ages between 20 and 55 ( Age = 40) from the Central Kansas Mountain Bike Club. Each participant was required to provide his or her own bicycle and the researchers provided the training stand, Saris CycleOps PowerTap rear wheel, and Garmin Edge 500 cycling computer used for data collection. Testing procedure consisted of a warmup, 30- second maximal …
