Pacing strategy and the occurrence of fatigue in 4000-m cycling time trials
Article Abstract:
A study was designed to examine the role of central and peripheral fatigue on 4000-m cycling time trial performance by comparing changes in power output and integrated electromyography (iEMG) in differently paced maximal efforts. The relationship between iEMG and mechanical power output pattern was consistent with peripheral fatigue rather than central downregulation of mechanical power output.

Effect of warm-up on cycle time trial performance
Article Abstract:
A study was designed to determine the effect of warm-up on 3-km cycling time trial (TT) performance, and the influence of accelerated VO2 kinetics on such effect. Results suggest that during endurance events of intermediate duration, performance is enhanced by warm-up irrespective of warm-up intensity, and that the improved performance is related to an acceleration of VO2 kinetics.
