Great post about recovery for trained cyclists. Co-ingestion of PRO and CHO «maximises» aminoacid availability without compromising resynthesis of liver glycogen. However, whether this translates to improved performance the next day or over time is still questionable IMO?.

In line with our recent meta analysis: «Current evidence does not support Zone 2 training as the optimal intensity for improving mitochondrial or fatty acid oxidative capacity. Prioritizing higher exercise intensities is critical to maximize cardiometabolic health».

Do you remember to warm up properly?.Warming up in the heavy intensity domain «postpones fatigue development» during exhaustive cycling. This is possibly related to a reduction in metabolite accumulation and altered sarcolemmal excitability.

RT @jem_arnold: Carb intakes are increasing, but there is a wide uncertainty range in how much we actually expend, dependent on absolute wo….

Does PRO+CHO enhance endurance performance?.There remains no compelling evidence that co-ingesting PRO+CHO before/during exercise confer any advantage, nor facilitates the resynthesis of liver or muscle glycogen during REC when CHO recommendations are met

Adapting to the heat from a cyclist’s POV. Nicely explained by ⁦@Nyborger_Nybo⁩ - great story Lars and easily digestible - «Copenhagen chill to desert heat Torill»

HIIT under hypoxia achieves a greater VO2max improvement than normoxia a recent meta-analysis finds. However, the total strain of training in hypoxia should be carefully and probably individuelly considered if implemented in top-level athletes.

Reductions in work capacity (W’) and CP values occuring after accunulated work were accompanied by lower cadences across all effort durations (outdoors) in elite cyclists. Another step in understanding the mechanisms of durability. Congrats Leo et al.

If you dont want to go to the gym or dont have the opportunity, performing low-cadence high-resistance cycling twice a week seems to be an equally effective alternative to improve cycling performance and muscle strength 💪🏻.

A Block microcycle of 5x 30/15s HIT sessions followed by 6d recovery induces improvements in endurance performance compared to regular training. Yet another study showing the potency of short HIT blocks compared to “traditional” training. #LabRønnestad

Very Nice and easy overview of the effects on ketone supplementation on cycling performance.

Time-course of adaptations and decay in heat training. Hemoglobin Mass increases by ~3% in 3 weeks, ~4% after 5 weeks. This improved performance, i.e., elevated peak power output in cooler conditions. However, adaptations decay within 2 weeks post-HA
