... The higher performance power output of group 1 was produced primarily by generating higher peak torques about the center of the crank by applying larger vertical forces to the crank arm during the cycling downstroke. Compared with group 2, group 1 also produced higher peak torques and vertical forces during the downstroke even when cycling at the same absolute work rate as group 2. Factors possibly contributing to the ability of group 1 to produce higher 'downstroke power' are a greater percentage of Type I muscle fibers (P < 0.05) and a 23% greater (P < 0.05) muscle capillary density compared with group 2. We have also observed a strong relationship between years of endurance training and percent Type I muscle fibers (r = 0.75; P < 0.001). It appears that 'elite-national class' cyclists have the ability to generate higher 'downstroke power', possibly as a result of muscular adaptations stimulated by more years of endurance training.Das verdeutlicht dann vielleicht auch nochmal, dass eine hohe Leistungsdifferenz zwischen kurzen (5 - 8 Minuten) all-Out-Leistungen und demgegenüber prozentual sehr deutlich darunter liegenden Stundenleistungen ein Zeichen dafür ist, dass das Talent nicht ausgeschöpft wird, warum auch immer.
Vielleicht zeigt es aber auch, dass man - um sein Potenzial erkennen zu können (ohne Atemmaske und Labor) - Vo2max-Intervalle trainieren und in diesem Bereich häufier mal all out gehen sollte?!
