Alternate-Day Low Energy Availability During Spring Classics in Professional Cyclists.

CONCLUSIONS:: We are the first to report day-by-day periodization of energy and carbohydrate in a small sample of professional cyclists. We have also examined the logistics of conducting a field study under stressful conditions in which major cooperation of subjects and team management is needed. Our commentary around these challenges and possible solutions is a major novelty of the paper. PMID: 30860404 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
