Key result
Laboratory estimation of maximal lactate steady state using 5-km time trial velocity showed no significant differences in blood lactate, heart rate, and RPE compared to field testing.
Why the study?
Does a velocity-based technique on a windload simulator accurately estimate maximal lactate steady state and heart rate at MLSS compared to field testing in trained cyclists?
Population
10 male trained cyclists
Comparison

Does a velocity-based technique on a windload simulator accurately estimate maximal lactate steady state and heart rate at MLSS compared to field testing in trained cyclists?
A 5-km time trial cycling velocity on a windload simulator can noninvasively estimate maximal lactate steady state and corresponding heart rate for training purposes.
Swensen et al. (1999) conducted an observational in trained cyclists (n=10). Laboratory estimation of MLSS using 5-km time trial velocity vs. Field testing was evaluated on Differences in blood lactate concentration, heart rate, and RPE between steady-state road laps and lab MLSS trial. Laboratory estimation of maximal lactate steady state using 5-km time trial velocity showed no significant differences in blood lactate, heart rate, and RPE compared to field testing.
