Why the study?
Heart rate during endurance cycling events had been investigated in professional cyclists, but enduro races competing for total laps and distance within a fixed time on a circuit course had not yet been investigated.
What are the heart rate responses and exercise intensity during a prolonged enduro cycling race in recreational cyclists?
Population

Initial HR data in enduro cycling; hypothesis-generating for intensity zones in amateurs.
What are the heart rate responses and exercise intensity during a prolonged enduro cycling race in recreational cyclists?
Enduro cycling racing elicits vigorous exercise intensity (>77% HRmax) and high energy expenditure in healthy male recreational cyclists.
Nakagata et al. (2019) studied this question.
