The critical power (CP) is mathematically defined as the power-asymptote of the hyperbolic relationship between power output and time-to-exhaustion. Physiologically, the CP represents the boundary between the steady-state ...

We hypothesized that the elevated primary O2 uptake (O2) amplitude during the second of two bouts of heavy cycle exercise would be accompanied by an increase in the integrated electromyogram (iEMG) measured from three leg ...

We used extreme pedal rates to investigate the influence of muscle fibre recruitment on pulmonary VO2 kinetics during unloaded-to-moderate-intensity (U → M), unloaded-to-high-intensity (U → H), and moderate-intensity to ...

We investigated the pedal rate dependency of the effect of priming exercise on pulmonary oxygen uptake (VO2) kinetics. Seven healthy men completed two, 6-min bouts of high-intensity cycle exercise (separated by 6 min of ...

It is well known that physiological variables such as maximal oxygen uptake (VO2max), exercise economy, the lactate threshold, and critical power are highly correlated with endurance exercise performance. In this review, ...

It is not possible to attain a metabolic steady state during exercise above the so-called critical force or power. We tested the hypothesis that the muscle metabolic perturbations at the end of a bout of maximal isometric ...

TO THE EDITOR: Why is it that while the rest of the world calls a finishing sprint a 'sprint finish,' a small number of exercise physiologists insist on using the term 'end-spurt'. We do not refer to 'spurt cyclists' nor ...
