COSTA, V.P.; LUCAS, R. de; SOUZA, K.M. e GUGLIELMO, L. G. A.. Effects of interval training on physiological variables and performance in competitive cyclists. Rev Andal Med Deporte [online]. 2014, vol.7, n.2, pp.83-89. ISSN 2172-5063.
Objective: The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of different methods of interval training (IT) on physiological variables and performance in competitive cyclists. Method: The classification of the IT methods were: a) sub-maximal (ITsub), b) high (ITmax) and c) supra-maximum (ITsup). The search strategy included the following terms: interval training, interval training on cycling, high intensity interval training, high intensity interval training in cycling and sprint. We choose for the followed databases: PubMed, Google Scholar and SPORTDiscus. For this purpose, a search were in a period between July 2011 and February 2012. Results: The different methods of IT increased maximal aerobic power (Pmax), maximum oxygen consumption (VO2max), physiological thresholds, time to exhaustion (Tlim) and 40-km cycling time trial (CR40km ) in competitive cyclists. Conclusion: Therefore, the three methods of IT showed that 6-8 sessions of training during 4-6 weeks is necessary to improve physiological variables and cycling performance in competitive cyclists
