OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of cadence selection during the final minutes of cycling on metabolic responses, stride pattern, and subsequent running time to fatigue. METHODS Eight triathletes performed, in a laboratory setting, two incremental tests (running and cycling) to determine peak oxygen uptake (VO2PEAK) and the lactate threshold (LT), and three cycle-run combinations. During ...

Methods: 20 horses performed the 3 different SET’s within 12 days. After this the horses were separated into three groups. Each group would perform a specific interval training method (ITM). Group 1 performed an interval training program that included gallop at an outdoor track at V4 which was calculated for the individual horse (ITM1). Group 2 performed sprint exercise on a 20 x 60 m indoor ar...
