Metabolic adaptation
Intervals performed at 175% peak power (PP) also improve time-trial performance by 2.4%.
Incorporating high-intensity intervals at 175% PP can also be beneficial for improving cycling performance.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
predicted greatest enhancement for the intervals performed at 175% PP (2.4%, 95% CI = 4.0-0.7%).
Why this rating
Based on the study design involving controlled training effects and statistical validation.
