      Almquist, Nicki Winfield; Sandbakk, Øyvind; Rønnestad, Bent R.; Noordhof, Dionne (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-05-26)
      Although the ability to sprint repeatedly is crucial in road cycling races, the changes in aerobic and anaerobic power when sprinting during prolonged cycling has not been investigated in competitive elite cyclists. Here, we used the gross efficiency (GE)-method to investigate: (1) the absolute and relative aerobic and anaerobic contributions during 3 × 30-s sprints included each hour during a 3-h ...

    • Effects of Including Sprints in One Weekly Low-Intensity Training Session During the Transition Period of Elite Cyclists

      The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of including 30-s sprints in one weekly low-intensity training (LIT) session during a 3-week transition period in elite cyclists. Sixteen male elite cyclists (maximal oxygen uptake, VO<sub>2max</sub>: 72 ± 5 ml·kg<sup>−1</sup>·min<sup>−1</sup>) reduced their training load by ~60% for 3 weeks from the end of competitive season and performed ...

    • Performance-Related Physiological and Haematological Changes During Pregnancy and Postpartum in a Well-Trained Cyclist Performing Endurance Training 

      Almquist, Nicki Winfield; Sandbakk, Øyvind Bucher; Solli, Guro Strøm (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-09)
      Purpose: To describe the performance-related physiological and haematological changes in a well-trained cyclist (peak oxygen uptake, VO<sub>2peak</sub>: 54.9 ml min<sup>−1</sup>·kg<sup>−1</sup>) performing endurance training during pregnancy and postpartum.<p> <p>Methods: Training data was systemized by training form (endurance and resistance), intensity (low- (LIT), moderate-, and high-intensity ...
