Really happy to see our latest work published in @MSSEonline Myself, @peter__leo and @JeroenSwart look at the relationship between physiological characteristics and durability in male professional cyclists journals.lww.com/acsm-msse/Abst…

Vigh-Larsen et al. reveal that fatiguing high-intensity intermittent exercise significantly decreases maximal Na+-K+-ATPase activity in human skeletal muscle. This was assessed using a novel NADH-coupled assay. A crucial insight into muscle fatigue! link.springer.com/article/10.100…


Nice study (and thread)! TLDR - individualised training prescription

This post is unavailable.

This is wild (in academic terms!)

Who reviewed this paper? A few days ago @gcabanac tweeted about a paper that had published a remark that it had been forced to cite irrelevant papers. You can see the tweet here: buff.ly/3UMIguf. We remarked that if it was not so serious, it would be funny. Since…

A study reveals that the distance between the endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria is crucial for optimal mitochondrial Ca2+ uptake and oxidative metabolism. This is an important finding in terms of muscular energy efficiency.🔬 nature.com/articles/s4200…

The problem with well-known science and fitness influencers is that they're so concerned with gaining followers and notoriety that they prioritize sharing content over validating its accuracy. The result is widespread misinformation.


As one would expect but nice to see it confirmed! CP is all about getting O2 to the muscle and then using it! Interesting that some measures of mito activity correlate with W' - showing again it's not just an 'anaerobic capacity'

New research highlights the link between skeletal muscle mitochondria and critical power in active individuals! The study found key mitochondrial correlates that enhance performance. Understanding these mechanisms could improve training strategies! 🚴‍♂️🦠 physoc.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1113/EP…

(1/6) This study onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… published in 2024 by @Spragg_Perform @peter__leo @JeroenSwart @andreagiorgi @borjamartinezg for me (Gabriele) is one of the most interesting durability's papers applied on cycling performance. (Infographic posted below in the profile).

Really neat study collects massive training/recovery data, then uses machine learning to determine which factors best predict next-day recovery. The key point: the most important variables *on average* are not the best variables *for each individual*. outsideonline.com/health/trainin…

Another executing opportunity to be part of @TudorProCycling innovation team. PhD position investigating our understanding of fabrics and performance. The candidate will be embedded within the team alongside completing the PhD. @adwalker71 lboro.ac.uk/study/postgrad…


Same as we found and nice to see that replicated! Intensity rather than total work influences subsequent performance

Finally online in @IJSPPjournal!💣🚴‍♂️ A high-intensity session elicits greater fatigue than a work-matched moderate-intensity one, particularly during short-duration efforts (eg., W'). High-intensity durability is key! Thanks to all my colleagues! journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/…

1 final attempt at getting a ticket for the TT finish line. We have 1 for Dawn & 1 for Grace but I’m ticketless with a few hours to go. If anyone knows of an athlete who hasn’t used their single allocation let me know 🙏
