Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Mean power output measured on an ergocycle during testing sessions, i.e. at baseline, 1 and 2 weeks after training completion

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Heart rate measured by Polar H10 chest sensor during all training and testing sessions 2. Rate of perceived exertion measured with the Borg's scale (6 to 20) after each training and testing session 3. Oxygen pulse saturation measured via an infrared sensor during all training sessions 4. Participants' wellness measured by a questionnaire (Hooper and Mackinnon, 1995) before each testing session 5. Peak power output measured on an ergocycle at baseline, 1 and 2 weeks after training completion 6. Mean power output measured on an ergocycle during all training sessions
