The VCT consisted of 10 × 6-min segments containing prescribed (3.5 W·kg−1) and open-ended phases. The open-ended phases consisted of 4 x 30–40 s of "recovery," 3 x 10 s at "hard" intensity, and 3 x 6-s "sprint" with a final 10-s "all-out" effort. Results: Power output for the 6- and 10-s phases was moderately higher for the national- compared with club-level cyclists (mean [SD] 10.4 [2.0] vs 8.6 [1.6] W·kg−1, effect size; ±90% confidence limits = −0.87; ±0.65 and mean [SD] 7.5 [0.7] vs 6.2 [1.0] W·kg−1, effect size; ±90% confidence limits = −1.24; ±0.66, respectively). Power output for the final 10-s "all-out" sprint was 15.4 (1.5) for the national- versus 13.2 (1.9) W·kg−1 for club-level cyclists. Conclusion: The 1-h VCT can successfully differentiate repeat high-intensity effort performance between higher-caliber cyclists and their lower-performing counterparts.]]> Tue 03 Aug 2021 14:02:28 AEST ]]> Test–Retest Reliability and Concurrent Validity of the 30 second Sit to Stand Test in Adolescents https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:55271 Thu 09 May 2024 11:39:00 AEST ]]> Ice slurry ingestion during cycling improves olympic distance triathlon performance in the heat https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:19995 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:50:47 AEDT ]]> Running performance in the heat is improved by similar magnitude with pre-exercise cold-water immersion and mid-exercise facial water spray https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31038 P = 0.01) and SPRAY (24.6 ± 3.3 min; P = 0.01) compared to CON (25.2 ± 3.2 min). Both cooling strategies significantly (P < 0.05) reduced forehead temperatures and thermal sensation, and increased muscle activation. Only pre-cooling significantly lowered rectal temperature both pre-exercise (by 0.5 ± 0.3°C; P < 0.01) and throughout exercise, and reduced sweat rate (P < 0.05). Both cooling strategies improved performance by a similar magnitude, and are ergogenic for athletes. The observed physiological changes suggest some involvement of central and psychophysiological mechanisms of performance improvement.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:25:48 AEDT ]]> Running performance and thermal sensation in the heat are improved with menthol mouth rinse but not ice slurry ingestion https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27716 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:24:38 AEDT ]]>
