Validating an Adjustment to the Intermittent Critical Power Model for Elite Cyclists-Modeling W' Balance During World Cup Team Pursuit Performances

CONCLUSIONS: On average, the Bartram adjustment was an improvement to modeling intermittent work capacity in elite cyclists, with the Skiba 2 model underestimating the rate of W' recovery. In the specific context of modeling team pursuit races, all models were too variable for effective use; hence, individual recovery rates should be explored beyond population-specific rates.PMID:34560664 | DOI:10.1123/ijspp.2020-0444
