Key result
T25x1 based ventilatory threshold variables were generally superior to T50x3 variables for predicting 40-km cycle time trial mean power output, while the VE/VO2 method was protocol independent.
Why the study?
Does the T25x1 incremental exercise test predict 40-km cycle time trial mean power output better than the T50x3 test in male cyclists?

Does the T25x1 incremental exercise test predict 40-km cycle time trial mean power output better than the T50x3 test in male cyclists?
The T25x1 incremental exercise test provides superior predictive validity for 40-km cycle time trial mean power output compared to the T50x3 test, though the VE/VO2 method is protocol independent.
Amann et al. (2004) conducted a cross-sectional in Healthy male cyclists (n=15). T25x1 incremental exercise test vs. T50x3 incremental exercise test was evaluated on Predictive validity on 40-km cycle time trial mean power output (40Kavgwatts). T25x1 based ventilatory threshold variables were generally superior to T50x3 variables for predicting 40-km cycle time trial mean power output, while the VE/VO2 method was protocol independent.
