during uphill cycling. The aim of this study was to analyse the physiological and …

A road cycling sprint can be described as the acceleration which occurs toward the end of
competitions in order to reach the finish line in front of other competitors. The ability to sprint …

This study was designed to examine the influence of standing position (vs. seated) during
