Area of Science:

  • Sports Science
  • Exercise Physiology
  • Cycling Performance Analysis

Background:

  • The Record Power Profile (RPP) quantifies maximal power output across various durations.
  • Understanding RPP repeatability is crucial for effective performance monitoring in professional cycling.
  • Field-based assessments are essential for ecological validity in sports performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the repeatability of the Record Power Profile (RPP) in professional cyclists.
  • To analyze RPP reliability across different seasonal periods (preparation, specific, competition).
  • To determine the practical utility of RPP for field-based performance monitoring.

Main Methods:

  • 12 professional cyclists' RPP was recorded over 3 seasonal periods (23 days each).
  • Effort durations ranged from 30 seconds to 60 minutes.
  • Repeatability was evaluated using the highest 2, 3, and 5 mean maximum power values (RPP2, RPP3, RPP5) and standard error of measurement (SEM).

Main Results:

  • Standard errors of measurement (SEM) decreased as the competitive period approached, particularly for short-duration efforts (30s, 1min, 5min).
  • SEM for short-duration efforts ranged from 4.3-12.5% (prep), 4.1-8.5% (specific), and 2.6-7.0% (competition).
  • Similar SEM values were observed across periods for RPP2, RPP3, and RPP5, indicating consistent reliability.

Conclusions:

  • The Record Power Profile (RPP) demonstrates repeatability in professional cyclists.
  • RPP is a reliable parameter for monitoring field-based performance throughout the cycling season.
  • These findings support the use of RPP in training and competition analysis for cyclists.
