- Purpose To compare the anaerobic work capacity (AnWC, i.e., attributable anaerobic mechanical work) assessed using four different approaches/models applied to time-trial (TT) cycle-ergometry exercise. Methods Fifteen male cyclists completed a 7 x 4-min submaximal protocol and a 3-min all-out TT (TTAO). Linear relationships between power output (PO) and submaximal metabolic rate were constructed to estimate TT-specific gross efficiency (GE) and AnWC, using either a measured resting metabolic rate as a Y-intercept (7 + Y-LIN) or no measured Y-intercept (7-Y-LIN). In addition, GE of the last submaximal bout (GE(LAST)) was used to estimate AnWC, and critical power (CP) from TTAO (CP3'AO) was used to estimate mechanical work above CP (W', i.e., "AnWC"). Results Average PO during TTAO was 5.43 +/- 0.30 and CP was 4.48 +/- 0.23 W.kg(-1). The TT-associated GE values were similar to 22.0% for both 7 + Y-LIN and 7-Y-LIN and similar to 21.1% for GE(LAST) (both P < 0.001). The AnWC were 269 +/- 60, 272 +/- 55, 299 +/- 61, and 196 +/- 52 J.kg(-1) for the 7 + Y-LIN, 7 Y-LIN, GE(LAST), and CP3'AO models, respectively (7 + Y-LIN and 7-Y-LIN versus GE(LAST), both P <0.001; 7+ Y-LIN, 7 Y-LIN, and GE(LAST) versus CP3'AO, all P < 0.01). For the three pair-wise comparisons between 7+ Y-LIN, 7-Y-LIN, and GE(LAST), typical errors in AnWC values ranged from 7 to 11 J.kg(-1), whereas 7+ Y-LIN, 7-Y-LIN, and GE(LAST) versus CP3'AO revealed typical errors of 55-59 J.kg(-1). Conclusion These findings demonstrate a substantial disagreement in AnWC between CP3'AO and the other models. The 7 + Y-LIN and 7-Y-LIN generated 10% lower AnWC values than the GE(LAST) model, whereas 7 + Y-LIN and 7-Y-LIN generated similar values of AnWC.

- Purpose: To compare performance and physiological responses between a standard-paced 3-minute time trial (TTSP, ie, pacing based on normal intention) and a consistently all-out-paced 3-minute time trial (TTAOP). Methods: Sixteen well-trained male cyclists completed the TTSP and TTAOP, on separate days of testing, on a cycling ergometer with power output and respiratory variables measured. Time trials were preceded by 7 x 4-minute submaximal stages of increasing intensity with the linear relationship between power output and metabolic rate used to estimate the contribution from aerobic and anaerobic energy resources. The time course of anaerobic and aerobic contributions to power output was analyzed using statistical parametric mapping. Results: Mean power output was not different between the 2 pacing strategies (TTSP = 417 [43] W, TT Lambda OP = 423 [41] W; P = 0.158). TTAOP resulted in higher peak power output (P < .001), mean ventilation rate (P < .001), mean heart rate (P = .044), peak accumulated anaerobically attributable work (P = .026), post-time-trial blood lactate concentration (P = .035), and rating of perceived exertion (P = .036). Statistical parametric mapping revealed a higher anaerobic contribution to power output during the first similar to 30 seconds and a lower contribution between similar to 90 and 170 seconds for TT Lambda OP than TTSP. The aerobic contribution to power output was higher between -55 and 75 seconds for TT Lambda OP. Conclusions: Although there was no significant difference in performance (ie, mean power output) between the 2 pacing strategies, differences were found in the distribution of anaerobically and aerobically attributable power output. This implies that athletes can pace a 3-minute maximal effort very differently but achieve the same result.
