The Effects of Simulated Competition on Repeated-sprint Cycling Performance

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Sprint cycling performance has been found to be reduced when two sprints were undertaken 12 minutes apart. In a follow-up study, the investigators found evidence to suggest that some of the loss in performance that was experienced in the second sprint was due to a psychological, rather than a physiological, limitation. It is conceivable that this loss in performance would not exist during a competition. The aim of this study is, therefore, to investigate the influence that a competitive environment has on repeated-sprint performance.

Conditions

  • Stress

Interventions

OTHER

Simulated competition

During a competition, athletes will typically compete for a reward, against opponents and in the presence of others. This will be replicated in the laboratory.
