Higher cadence may alter exercise hemodynamics in cyclists; leaves open effects on testing interpretation and training optimization.
Does increased pedal cadence at a constant workload alter exercise hemodynamics in cyclists?
Increased pedal cadence at a constant workload enhances the skeletal-muscle pump, leading to increased muscle blood flow, venous return, and cardiac output.
Gottshall et al. (1996) studied this question.
