Power profile of a professional team of route cyclists
Keywords:
power profile, aerobic capacity, anaerobic capacity, aerobic power, neuromuscular powerAbstract
Objective: to characterize the power profile of a team of road cyclists. Method: descriptive study. The evaluation was carried out through tests of 5”, 1’, 5’ and 20’, to 19 male cyclists of 22.8 ± 2.6 years and weight of 58.1 ± 2.7 kilograms. Results: in the 5” test the average was 11.87 ± 2.27, which is located at an untrained level, which indicates that cyclists are not performing well as sprinters or stage finishers. In the 1’ test, the average was 7.51 ± 1.56, indicating a moderate performance in pursuit and time trial, which is why they are not very good passists. In the 5’ test the average was 5.56 ± 0.85, which indicates a very good level of performance as all terrain, climbers or cyclists of constant rhythm. In the 20’ test the average was 5.23 ± 0.85, which indicates an excellent level as long-term runners or climbers. Conclusion: training planning should focus on the increase of anaerobic power to improve the performance of cyclists in the closing stages and in the against clock.
