Methods for estimating the maximal lactate steady state in trained cyclists
Why the study?
Can simulated 5-km and 40-km time trials accurately estimate the maximal lactate steady state in trained cyclists?
Population
9 trained cyclists
Comparison
Simulated 5-km and 40-km time trials (TT) vs 30-min maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) trials

Implication
Supports 40-km TT for MLSS estimation in trained cyclists; leaves open prospective validation before wider adoption.

P
Population
9 trained cyclists
I
Intervention
Simulated 5-km and 40-km time trials (TT)
C
Comparator
30-min maximal lactate steady state (MLSS) trials
O
Outcome
Average speed at MLSSsurrogate
Both simulated 5-km and 40-km time trials are valid methods for estimating the maximal lactate steady state in trained cyclists.
