Summary: The study investigated the impact of self-control exertion on endurance performance and pacing strategies in well-trained individuals. It also explored the potential of a caffeine mouth rinse to reduce the effects of self-control exertion. The results showed that self-control exertion affects pacing strategies during the first 7 km of a 10 km cycling time-trial, but caffeine mouth rinsing did not attenuate the effects of self-control exertion on performance.

Summary: In this study, the thermoelectric performance of hydrothermally synthesized mixed-phase pyrite nanostructures was improved. The formation of mixed phases of FeS and FeS2 and the formation of nanoporous morphology were confirmed through XRD and SEM. With the increase in reaction time, both the Seebeck coefficient and electrical conductivity were found to be improved, leading to a higher thermoelectric power factor for the 48h sample.

Summary: Ingesting quinine 2 mM during the last stage of a 3,000-m cycling time-trial did not improve cycling performance, as indicated by power output and perceptual scales.

Summary: This study investigated the dynamic changes in muscle O2 saturation, power output, and EMG during different phases of a cycling time trial, and found that fast-start and even-pace phases had similar performance fatigability etiology, while the end-spurt phase showed further impairments in contractile function. The abrupt changes in SmO2 and EMG/PO due to high exercise intensity during the end-spurt phase may have contributed to the maximal decline in contractile function at the finish line.

Summary: This study analyzed the reproducibility of mean power output during 20-min cycling time-trials in a remote home-based setting using the virtual-reality cycling software, Zwift. The results showed that power output during these trials was reproducible, providing benchmark values for future interventions in a virtual-reality environment.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of different pacing strategies on cycling time trial performance. The results showed that different all-out start strategies did not confer additional benefits to performance compared to a self-paced strategy.

Summary: The study showed that supplementing with 12 mg of astaxanthin per day for 7 days significantly improved exercise performance in recreationally trained male cyclists during a 40 km cycling time trial, including reducing completion time and increasing whole-body fat oxidation rates.

Summary: The study found a significant relationship between sprint power and road time trial performance in elite para-cyclists, regardless of impairment type or type of bike used. Sprint tests could be useful in predicting or monitoring time trial performance in athletes competing on bicycles, tricycles, recumbent or kneeling handbikes.

Summary: The study aimed to compare the effects of different cycling exercise intensities and durations on subsequent performance and found that there was an acute performance decrement (APD) after initial exercise bouts, which did not correspond with total work done (TWD) and training-load (TL) metrics.

Summary: This study revealed significant positive relationships between W' and measures of neuromuscular function, including maximum voluntary torque, peak power output, and rate of torque development. These findings suggest that muscle size and strength play a meaningful role in determining W', with potential implications for improving cycling performance in well-trained athletes.
