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 ... -
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 ... -
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 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) -
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. ...
