Why the study?
Does triathlete performance level affect cardiorespiratory responses during a cycle-run succession compared to running alone?
Does triathlete performance level affect cardiorespiratory responses during a cycle-run succession compared to running alone?
Ventilatory responses and pulmonary function alterations during a run subsequent to cycling are related to triathlete performance level, with competitive triathletes showing greater respiratory muscle alteration and exercise-induced hypoxemia than elite triathletes.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Performance level may modulate respiratory strain after cycle-run in triathletes; hypothesis-generating for elite adaptations, needs prospective confirmation.
Hüe et al. (2000) studied this question.
