A 11‐day compressed overload and taper induces larger physiological improvements than a normal taper in elite cyclists
Rønnestad, Bent; Vikmoen, Olav (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Endurance athletes usually achieve performance peaking with 2‐4 weeks of overload training followed by 1‐3 weeks of tapering. With a tight competition schedule, this may not be appropriate. Thus, the aim of this study was ... -

A comparison of the effect of strength training on cycling performance between men and women
Vikmoen, Olav; Rønnestad, Bent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)During the last decade numerous review articles have been published on how concurrent strength and endurance training affect cycling performance. However, none of these have reviewed if there are any sex differences in the ... -

Oberholzer, Laura; Montero, David; Robach, Paul; Siebenmann, Christoph; Ryrsøe, Camilla Koch; Bonne, Thomas C.; Breenfeldt Andersen, Andreas; Bejder, Jacob; Karlsen, Trine; Edvardsen, Elisabeth; Rønnestad, Bent; Hamarsland, Håvard; Cepeda-Lopez, Ana C.; Rittweger, Jörn; Treff, Gunnar; Ahlgrim, Christoph; Almquist, Nicki Winfield; Hallén, Jostein; Lundby, Carsten (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2023)Blood volume (BV) is an important clinical parameter and is usually reported per kg of body mass (BM). When fat mass is elevated, this underestimates BV/BM. One aim was to study if differences in BV/BM related to sex, age, ... -
Eccentric cycling does not improve cycling performance in amateur cyclists
Paulsen, Gøran; Eidsheim, Hedda; Helland, Christian; Seynnes, Olivier R.; Solberg, Paul Andre; Rønnestad, Bent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Eccentric cycling training induces muscle hypertrophy and increases joint power output in non-athletes. Moreover, eccentric cycling can be considered a movement-specific type of strength training for cyclists, but it is ... -
The Effect of 30-Second Sprints During Prolonged Exercise on Gross Efficiency, Electromyography, and Pedaling Technique in Elite Cyclists
