Heart rate response times measured in the field as indicators for endurance performance in cycling
Knobbe, A., Voet, J., van Erp, T., de Leeuw, A.-W.Published in Journal of Science and Cycling (2024)“…Methods Heart rate and power data during all cycling activities was collected of 23 elite road cyclists for 2 years. Weekly athlete-specific heart rate response times (recuperation, delay and maximal response times) were extracted from models connecting heart rate and power output. …”

Physiology of handcycling: A current sports perspective
Stephenson, B. T., Stone, B., Mason, B. S., Goosey-Tolfrey, V. L.Published in Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports (2021)“…This narrative review aims to map the landscape within handcycling research and document the growing interest at the elite end of the exercise spectrum. From 58 experimental/case studies and four doctoral theses, we provide accounts of the aerobic capacity of handcyclists and the influence training status plays; present research regarding the physiological responses to handcycling performance, including tests of sprint performance; and discuss the finite information on handcyclists` training habits and efficacy of bespoke interventions. …”

Bioelectrical, anthropometric, and hematological analysis to assess body fluids and muscle changes in elite cyclists during the Giro d'Italia
Cebrián-Ponce, Á., Irurtia, A., Castizo-Olier, J., Garnacho-Castaño, M. V., Espasa-Labrador, J., Noriega, Z., Carrasco-Marginet, M.Published in Biology (2023)“…In conclusion, bioelectrical impedance vector analysis is a reliable, non-invasive, and practical method to assess physiological adaptations in athletes. Abstract This study aimed to characterize and monitor the body fluid and muscle changes during the Giro d`Italia in nine elite cyclists via bioelectrical (whole-body and muscle-localized) anthropometric and hematological analysis. …”
