The purpose of this study was to compare two 6-wk moderate intensity training (MIT), pyramidal modal (PYR) protocols, and their effects on key performance variables in an elite level cyclist. This investigation was a case study on one cyclist who was well-trained (age, 26 yrs; VO2 max, 80.5 mL·kg-1·min-1). He trained 10 to 15 hrs·wk-1 with 2 yrs of experience competing at national level events. Graded exercise tests (GXT) were performed at 0, 6, and 12 wks to determine VO2 max, respiratory exchange ratio (RER), and maximal aerobic power (MAP). Submaximal incremental tests were completed every 2 wks to observe alterations in power (W) at 2.0 mM blood lactate (BLa). To determine intervention changes, trendline analyses were performed. Using MIT intervals during the pre-competition phase of an elite cyclist's macrocycle can positively affect physiological variables associated with performance. Both tempo and SE intervals can be beneficial in doses according to an athlete's fitness status. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
