Energy balance
The 4-min and 20-min TTs are strongly associated with the 60-min mean power output (MPO), with adjusted R2 = .98.
Shorter TTs can be effectively used to predict longer cycling performance in trained cyclists.
StrongSupportsmedium confidence
the combination of the 4- and 20-min MPO (adjusted R2 = .98) were strongly associated with the 60-min MPO.
Why this rating
The study design includes statistical analysis of relationships between performance measures.
