If you dont want to go to the gym or dont have the opportunity, performing low-cadence high-resistance cycling twice a week seems to be an equally effective alternative to improve cycling performance and muscle strength 💪🏻
👉 A 10-week high-resistance cycling-based strength training programme proves to be an effective alternative to traditional squats, enhancing both cycling performance and gains in muscle strength and mass. Congrats @david_barranco et al! 👇

A Block microcycle of 5x 30/15s HIT sessions followed by 6d recovery induces improvements in endurance performance compared to regular training. Yet another study showing the potency of short HIT blocks compared to “traditional” training. #LabRønnestad

Very Nice and easy overview of the effects on ketone supplementation on cycling performance.
1/ 🚴♂️ Can exogenous ketones revolutionize cycling performance? My latest review dives deep into the evidence, mechanisms, and real-world implications of ketone supplementation in road cycling. A thread 🧵:

Time-course of adaptations and decay in heat training. Hemoglobin Mass increases by ~3% in 3 weeks, ~4% after 5 weeks. This improved performance, i.e., elevated peak power output in cooler conditions. However, adaptations decay within 2 weeks post-HA

@erfan56242960 It is not only a question of banning it for doping reasons but more importantly to avoid an emerging practice before it gets rooted. It is indiscussably a dangerous practice to experiment with.

@spragg247 Exactly The breaking point there. Background %HbCO in polluted cities is usually ~1%, so that likely has a neglectable effect. But regular exposure as used in the study by Urianstad indeed has effects and that is even with very low doses.

@spragg247 Would love to sit by your log fire if my %HbCO reaches 10% by just that 🤣 In that case, I’ll be Lightning a camping fire more often in my back yard in the future.

@spragg247 Also, if I remember correctly, both Vingegaard and Pogacar confirmed “use” of CO during interviews in the TdF. Whether that is only during their Hb-mass measurements or a more general use I dont know and I dont think they confirmed that either. But wouldnt you do it if it worked?

We hope this final post from our meta will spark further discussion and reflection on what we see as one of the most important topics for the future in sport science. @Skattebo_Oyvind @MrMoelmen @SportsMedicineJ @nih_physicperf @NEXSKU @HiInnlandet
