The sport of cycling consists of many different events, ranging from all-out sprint events including the match sprint and Keirin to 500 m/ 1,000 m time trial, BMX and longer-distance road racing. Sprint cycling performance is of paramount importance in many of these events. Examples, aside from the obvious all-out sprint events mentioned previously, include the sprint at the end of a road race and the repeated sprint efforts required in the points race.
