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 ... -
Adaptations to strength training differ between endurance-trained and untrained women
Vikmoen, Olav; Raastad, Truls; Ellefsen, Stian; Rønnestad, Bent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate if endurance athletes, sustaining their normal endurance training, experience attenuated adaptations to strength training compared to untrained individuals. Methods: ... -
Benefits of higher resistance‐training volume are related to ribosome biogenesis
Hammarström, Daniel; Øfsteng, Sjur Johansen; Koll, Lise; Hanestadhaugen, Marita; Hollan, Ivana; Apro, William; Whist, Jon Elling; Blomstrand, Eva; Rønnestad, Bent; Ellefsen, Stian (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Resistance‐exercise volume is a determinant of training outcomes. However not all individuals respond in a dose‐dependent fashion. In this study, 34 healthy individuals (males n = 16, 23.6 (4.1) years; females n = 18, 22.0 ... -
Block periodization of endurance training – a systematic review and meta-analysis
Mølmen, Knut Sindre; Øfsteng, Sjur Johansen; Rønnestad, Bent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Block periodization (BP) has been proposed as an alternative to traditional (TRAD) organization of the annual training plan for endurance athletes. Objective: To our knowledge, this is the first meta-analysis ... -
Comparison of Short-Sprint and Heavy Strength Training on Cycling Performance
Kristoffersen, Morten; Sandbakk, Øyvind; Rønnestad, Bent; Gundersen, Hilde (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Purpose: To compare the effects of short-sprint training (SST) and heavy-strength training (HST) following a 4-week strength-training period on sprint and endurance capacities in well-trained cyclists. Methods: ... -
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
Almquist, Nicki Winfield; Ettema, Gertjan; Hopker, James; Sandbakk, Øyvind; Rønnestad, Bent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)Background: Cycling competitions are often of long duration and include repeated high-intensity efforts. Purpose: To investigate the effect of repeated maximal sprints during 4 hours of low-intensity cycling on gross ... -
Effects of including sprints during prolonged cycling on hormonal and muscular responses and recovery in elite cyclists
Almquist, Nicki Winfield; Ellefsen, Stian; Sandbakk, Øyvind; Rønnestad, Bent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)This study investigated the acute effects of including 30‐second sprints during prolonged low‐intensity cycling on muscular and hormonal responses and recovery in elite cyclists. Twelve male cyclists (VO2max, 73.4 ± 4.0 ... -
Effects of Including Sprints in One Weekly Low-Intensity Training Session During the Transition Period of Elite Cyclists
Almquist, Nicki Winfield; Løvlien, Ine; Byrkjedal, Per Thomas; Spencer, Matthew; Kristoffersen, Morten; Skovereng, Knut; Sandbakk, Øyvind; Rønnestad, Bent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of including 30-s sprints in one weekly low-intensity training (LIT) session during a 3-week transition period in elite cyclists. Sixteen male elite cyclists (maximal ... -
Effects of initial performance, gross efficiency and VO_2peak characteristics on subsequent adaptations to endurance training in competitive cyclists
Skovereng, Knut; Sylta, Øystein; Tønnessen, Espen; Hammarström, Daniel; Danielsen, Jørgen; Seiler, Stephen; Rønnestad, Bent; Sandbakk, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018) -
Increased biological relevance of transcriptome analyses in human skeletal muscle using a model-specific pipeline
Khan, Yusuf; Hammarström, Jens Konrad Daniel; Rønnestad, Bent; Ellefsen, Stian; Ahmad, Rafi (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Abstract Background: Human skeletal muscle responds to weight-bearing exercise with signifcant inter-individual diferences. Investigation of transcriptome responses could improve our understanding of this variation. ... -
Power production and biochemical markers of metabolic stress and muscle damage following a single bout of short-sprint and heavy strength exercise in well-trained cyclists
Kristoffersen, Morten; Sandbakk, Øyvind; Tønnessen, Espen; Svendsen, Ida S.; Paulsen, Gøran; Ersvær, Elisabeth; Nygård, Irene; Rostad, Kari; Ryningen, Anita; Iversen, Vegard Vereide; Skovereng, Knut; Rønnestad, Bent; Gundersen, Hilde (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Purpose: Although strength and sprint training are widely used methods in competitive cycling, no previous studies have compared the acute responses and recovery rates following such sessions among highly trained cyclists. ... -
Systemic and muscular responses to effort-matched short intervals and long intervals in elite cyclists
Almquist, Nicki Winfield; Nygård, Håvard; Vegge, Geir; Hammarström, Jens Konrad Daniel; Ellefsen, Stian; Rønnestad, Bent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)The purpose of this study was to compare the acute effects of time- and effort-matched high-intensity intervals on physiological, endocrine, and skeletal muscle molecular variables in elite cyclists. Eight elite cyclists ...
