Why the study?
Does endurance training alter the breathing pattern of professional cyclists during an incremental exercise test?
Population
13 professional cyclists, age 24+/-2 years, VO2 max approximately 75 ml x kg(-1) x min(-1)
Comparison
Endurance training across three periods of a… vs Within-subject comparison across the three periods
Design
Cohort
Follow-up
One sports season

Breathing pattern stability across training loads in elite cyclists should not yet change practice; leaves open whether respiratory variables track performance adaptations.
Does endurance training alter the breathing pattern of professional cyclists during an incremental exercise test?
Endurance conditioning throughout a sports season does not alter the breathing pattern of professional cyclists during incremental exercise.
