TL;DR
Assessment of research aimed at measuring performance enhancements that affect success of individual elite athletes in competitive events found that estimates of enhancement of performance in laboratory or field tests in most previous studies may not apply to elite athletesIn competitive events.
Abstract
estimates of enhancement of performance in laboratory or field tests in most previous studies may not apply to elite athletes in competitive events.

Medicine & Science in Sports & ExerciseA new validated endurance performance test
553 Citations1996Asker E. Jeukendrup, Wim H. M. Saris +2 more
It was concluded that reproducibility of a test at 75% Wmax until exhaustion is poor and these tests are not reliable and time trial protocols may result in better performance evaluation.
European Journal of Applied PhysiologyPeak power output predicts maximal oxygen uptake and performance time in trained cyclists
427 Citations1992John A. Hawley, Timothy D. Noakes
It is concluded that for trained cyclists, theVO2max can be accurately predicted from Wpeak, and that Wpeak is a valid predictor of 20-km cycle time.
Journal of Sports SciencesHeart rate monitoring during training and competition in cyclists
211 Citations1998Asker E. Jeukendrup, Adrie Van Diemen
Heart rate monitoring is very useful in the detection of early overtraining, especially in combination with lactate curves and questionnaires, and may be a better indicator of exercise intensity than power output.
Medicine & Science in Sports & ExerciseImproved athletic performance in highly trained cyclists after interval training
208 Citations1996F H Lindsay, John A. Hawley +4 more
Results indicate that a 4-wk program of HIT increased the PPO and fatigue resistance of competitive cyclists and improved their 40-km time trial performances.
International Journal of Sports MedicineAssessment of the Reproducibility of Performance Testing on an Air-Braked Cycle Ergometer
163 Citations1996G. Palmer, S C Dennis +2 more
Findings indicate that the Kingcycle ergometry system can be used as a reliable method of assessing short term endurance cycling performance, as well as comparing laboratory performances to performances in road races.
Journal of Applied PhysiologyEffects of glucose, glucose plus branched-chain amino acids, or placebo on bike performance over 100 km
125 Citations1996Klavs Madsen, D. A. MacLean +2 more
It is suggested that neither glucose nor glucose plus glucose plus BCAA ingestion during 100 km of cycling enhance performance in well-trained cyclists.
International Journal of Sports MedicineReproducibility of Self-Paced Treadmill Performance of Trained Endurance Runners
110 Citations1998E. J. Schabort, Will G. Hopkins +1 more
British Journal Of NutritionEffect of meal frequency and timing on physical performance
100 Citations1997John A. Hawley, Louise M. Burke
How the timing and frequency of food and fluid intake can assist the athlete and physically-active person to improve their exercise performance in these areas is examined.
Medicine & Science in Sports & ExerciseA new reliable laboratory test of endurance performance for road cyclists
99 Citations1998Elske J. Schabort, John A. Hawley +3 more
The high reliability of this laboratory test of cycling performance will make the test useful for research on performance of competitive road cyclists.
Medicine & Science in Sports & ExercisePhysiological responses during simulated competition
99 Citations1993Carl Foster, MEGAN A. GREEN +2 more
This study studied 24 athletes (speed skaters, cyclists, triathletes) during simulated competition, a 5-km time trial on a racing bicycle attached to a windload simulator, and during cycle ergometer graded exercise testing to understand the physiologic responses during competition.
Journal of Applied PhysiologyCarbohydrate intake during prolonged cycling minimizes effect of glycemic index of preexercise meal
99 Citations1998Louise M. Burke, Amanda Claassen +2 more
When CHO is ingested during exercise in amounts presently recommended by sports nutrition guidelines, preexercise CHO intake has little effect on metabolism or on subsequent performance during prolonged cycling (approximately 2.5 h).
International Journal of Sports MedicineDay to Day Variation in Time Trial Cycling Performance
92 Citations1992Martha Hickey, D. L. Costill +3 more
The data suggest that trained cyclists have the ability to reproduce endurance performance with a CV of approximately 1.0% in a time-trial protocol.
Medicine & Science in Sports & ExerciseHeart rate responses during a 4-d cycle stage race
92 Citations1994G. S. Palmer, John A. Hawley +2 more
The results of this study reveal the stochastic nature of bunch cycle racing and show that the HR responses of competitive cyclists are more a function of tactical bunch riding than of terrain.
Medicine & Science in Sports & ExerciseCorrelation between ventilatory threshold and endurance capability in marathon runners
74 Citations1987F Péronnet, Guy Thibault +2 more
Running time on long distance races is not, per se, an adequate measure of endurance capability because of the major contribution of VO2max to long distance running performance, but the endurance index expressed as %VO2max is an objective and independent index of Endurance capability.
International Journal of Sports MedicineThe Reliability of Lactate Measurements During Exercise
70 Citations1998Peter Pfitzinger, Patty S. Freedson
The results support the reliability of LT(VEL), LT(VO2), and LT(HR) measurement, which were established across days of testing.

9 Citations1998Will G. Hopkins, Russ Wolfinger
Medicine & Science in Sports & ExerciseCombining event scores to estimate the ability of competitors
7 Citations1995Will G. Hopkins, Jack R. Green
The least-squares mean of raw scores had highest validity when events differed substantially in difficulty; it should therefore be used when events differ in length, or when event scores are affected by environmental conditions, judging bias, or by uneven matching of competitors in match-play sports.
