Key result
Self-paced 15-minute cycling time trials demonstrate high reliability with ~2% within-participant variation.
Why the study?
Is a self-paced 15-minute cycling time trial a reliable performance measure in recreationally active individuals?
Observational
Is a self-paced 15-minute cycling time trial a reliable performance measure in recreationally active individuals?
A 15-minute self-paced cycling time trial demonstrates high reliability as a performance measure in recreationally active individuals.
May support 15-min self-paced cycling TT for performance assessment in recreationally active adults; leaves open validation in athletes or clinical populations.
= 0.706) between trials (193.2 ± 45.3 kJ; 193.2 ± 43.5 kJ; 192.0 ± 42.3 kJ; 193.9 ± 42.8 kJ). Within participant CV ranged from 0.5-4.9% for the four TTs, with a mean CV of 2.1%. Mean CV decreased from 2.0% (range 0.1-5.0%) for the first two TTs to 1.7% (range 0.2-5.6%) for the second and third TTs, and further decreased to 1.0% (range 0.2-1.8%) for the third and fourth TTs. In conclusion, the use of a short-duration self-paced cycling TT in recreationally active individuals is a reliable performance measure.

Funnell et al. (2023) conducted an observational in Recreationally active individuals. 15-minute self-paced cycling time trial was evaluated on Reliability (Coefficient of Variation) (p=0.706). A 15-minute self-paced cycling time trial demonstrated high reliability in recreationally active individuals, with a mean within-participant coefficient of variation of 2.1% across four trials.
