Enhancing cycling performance using an eccentric chainring
Article Abstract:
This article compares the athletic performance and physiological responses of of elite cyclists using either eccentric or round chainrings, a bicycle part used to mediate pedaling torque. Findings indicate that there were no physiological differences between cyclists, but subjects using eccentric chainrings had significantly improved athletic performance.

Ventilatory responses during experimental cycle-run transition in triathletes
Article Abstract:
Research determining effects of cycling on subsequent triathlon runs is presented. The pulmonary patterns of cycling followed by running, exercise-induced hypoxemia, and respiratory muscle fatigue are discussed.
