Pedaling Performance Changing of Elite Cyclists Is Mainly Determined by the Fatigue of Hamstring and Vastus Muscles during Repeated Sprint Cycling Exercise

Figure 3

Average power output (a) and cadence (b) of all subjects calculated for every 2-second duration time during five repeated sprint cycling exercise. The results for each bout were separated by dashed lines. means a significant main effect of sprint number, ▲ means a significant main effect of intrasprint duration time, and +means a significant interaction influence between sprint number and intersprint duration time on power (a) and cadence (b), while # and $ indicate significant correlation between exercise performance (power and cadence) and sprint number or intersprint duration time.
