“We believe CO inhalation to enhance performance should be banned by WADA” - A strong and IMO very reasonable suggestion by Joyner and Minson!

What are the long-term benefits of intermittent fasting? 🧐 This new meta-analysis compiled data from 24 studies (over 2000 participants)… …to establish the effects of intermittent fasting vs control and/or continuous calorie restricted diets 🔍 To be included studies needed

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 tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

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

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 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ej…

Repeated carbon monoxide inhalation triggers hypoxia-induced erythropoiesis, increasing hemoglobin mass—a practice likely abused by endurance athletes. We call on WADA to act urgently and ban this dangerous doping method. Our editorial by Billy Sperlich: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sm…

Cycling coaches, scientists and bike fitters, @callumjbarnes and I are looking for your knowledge and expertise on CdA, bike fit and general cycling science topics. If you have a few minutes to complete our questionnaire we'd be grateful for your input forms.office.com/e/Td6tpGyLc6

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 💪🏻

Polarised🆚Pyramidal🆚Threshold Which training model is best?🏆 It might matter how trained you are🤔 Our new meta-analysis tries to answer which training intervention produces the greatest improvements in endurance performance in trained athletes Thread🧵 & 🔗links below👇

We heard from our colleague Normand today about his work with elite female athletes returning to sport from pregnancy. Sprint interval training on Zwift 3/wk starting 5wks postpartum returns abs VO2peak & Wpeak within 6wks. More research coming on post-pregnancy return to sport!

How to Develop resilience/durability? Consistency and high volume. Go Long and include high-intensity efforts in the long rides. Heavy/plyometric strength training.

Recently there’s been plenty of good work in the (re?)emerging field of durability. Our review published in Experimental Physiology explores key methodological approaches and considerations to be made when profiling durability in research and applied settings.

🚨 New paper out! Can we personalise carbohydrate intake during endurance exercise to maximise its utilisation? Turns out… we can. 🧵👇 🔗 performancenutrition.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11… Gareth Wallis Javier Gonzalez and Natasha Cooper-Smith

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. tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…

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. physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.14…

Adapting to the heat from a cyclist’s POV. Nicely explained by ⁦Lars Nybo⁩ - great story Lars and easily digestible - «Copenhagen chill to desert heat Torill» physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

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 link.springer.com/article/10.100…
