May inform training in female masters cyclists; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
In competitive female master cyclists, power output at the lactate threshold is a strong predictor of time-trial performance, and traditional age-based estimates of maximal heart rate may underestimate required training intensities.
Nichols et al. (1997) studied this question.
