The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of constant versus variable power output
cycling exercise on subsequent high-intensity, running performance. Eight triathletes
completed two testing sessions (in a random order), which required the subjects to perform
30min of cycling at either, a constant power output (90% of the lactate threshold), or a
variable power output with power output alternating every 5min (±20% of the constant
workload). Each cycling bout was immediately followed by a high-intensity treadmill run …
