Accuracy of W' Recovery Kinetics in High Performance Cyclists - Modelling Intermittent Work Capacity.

CONCLUSIONS: The current SKIBA 2 model is not appropriate for use in elite cyclists as it under predicts the recovery rate of W'. The modified τW' equation presented will require validation, but appears more appropriate for high performance athletes. Individual τW' relationships may be necessary in order to maximise the model's validity. PMID: 29035607 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
