Dynamic pacing strategies during the cycle phase of an Ironman triathlon
Article Abstract:
A study aims to examine the pacing strategies used under varying conditions during the cycle phase of an Ironman triathlon and to determine the effect of wind direction on pacing strategy and variations in power output. Results show that power output and speed declined with increasing distance, suggesting that pacing strategies during the cycle phase of the event might be suboptimal, and also indicate increased variation in torque and speed in the headwind versus the tailwind condition.

Influence of hydration status on thermoregulation and cycling hill climbing
Article Abstract:
The effects of a reduction in body mass attribute to unreplaced sweat losses on simulated cycling hill-climbing performance in the heat are studied. Exercise-induced dehydration in a warm environment is found to be damaging to laboratory cycling hill-climbing performance despite reducing the power output required for a given speed.

Accuracy of SRM and Power Tap power monitoring systems for bicycling
Article Abstract:
The accuracy of bicycle power monitoring instruments Schoberer Rad Messtechnik (SRM) and Power Tap (PT) under different conditions was assessed. The results conclude that when used as per manufacturer's instructions, both systems provided the professionals the ability to precisely monitor power output.
