Mitigating end-stage fatigue: Acute inhaled salmeterol preserves sprint power in simulated cycling
Merlini, M., Staiano, W., Angius, L., Romagnoli, M., Schena, F., Dickinson, J., Marcora, S.Published in Scandinavian Journal of Medicine & Science in Sports (2025)“…No effect of salmeterol was observed on fresh sprint performance and myoelectric activity. Blood lactate concentration and RPE rose similarly in both conditions (p < 0.001), while heart rate was higher with salmeterol during the first 20 min (p = 0.004). …”

Heavy-intensity priming exercise attenuates the rate of quadriceps muscle fatigue and improves time-to-task failure during severe-intensity cycling
MacDougall, K. B., Aboodarda, S. J., Wickenberg, A. B., Macintosh, B. R.Published in Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise (2025)“…Background Prior high-intensity exercise (priming) has been shown to accelerate the oxygen uptake (VO2) kinetics, as well as improve exercise tolerance during subsequent high-intensity exercise, yet the mechanisms underpinning the performance changes are unclear. In theory, a reduced reliance on non-oxidative energy input afforded by the faster VO2 response may improve subsequent performance by delaying muscle fatigue; however, this effect has yet to be conclusively shown. …”

Durability as an independent parameter of endurance performance in cycling
Barsumyan, A., Soost, C., Shyla, R., Graw, J. A., Bliemel, C., Burchard, R.Published in BMC Sports Science, Medicine and Rehabilitation (2025)“…Conclusion We showed that durability is a parameter independent of traditional physiological measures of cycling performance. Looking at durability then working backwards can help identify what coaches need to work on in so many areas that are important to all aspects of racing in cycling sport.…”

Optimal body mass normalization of power output for accurate prediction of estimated cycling performance over complex time-trial courses
Horvath, M., Andersson, E. P.Published in Frontiers in Sports and Active Living (2025)“…Introduction: Power profiling is widely used in cycling performance analysis, but both absolute and mass-normalized power outputs have limitations as performance indicators, as they neglect external factors such as terrain, wind, aerodynamic drag, and pacing strategy. …”
