Work during 5 min cycle time-trial increased 6.5% (P < 0.001) in 9 participants who decreased training load (completed heavy training then light training) and maximal rate of heart rate increase increased 28% (P = 0.002) but the changes in maximal work were not related to changes in rate of heart rate increase (r = 0.32, P = 0.40). Heart rate recovery tended to track changes in 5 min cycle time-trial work following increases and decreases in training load (r = 0.65–0.75, P = 0.03–0.08). Conclusions: Maximal rate of heart rate increases during cycling at 100 W tracks reductions in exercise performance when training load is increased, but not performance improvements when training loads are reduced. Maximal rate of heart rate increase may be a useful adjunct to heart rate recovery for tracking changes in exercise performance.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:43 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:17557 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:52 AEDT ]]> https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27071 0.05). Runners were consistently slower on the NMT, and as such it should not be used to measure performance over a specific distance. However, the strong correlations suggest that superior overground performance was reflected in relative terms on the NMT, and therefore, it is a valid tool for the assessment of endurance running performance in the laboratory.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:25:19 AEDT ]]>
