What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Improved Time Trial Performance
Time Frame: After 20 min steady-state cycling
Participants will cycle 20 min at increasing intensity: 8 min at 55% VO2max, 6 min at 65% VO2max, 6 min at 75% VO2max. The 20 km time trial consists of rolling hills.
After 20 min steady-state cycling

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Improved work efficiency
Time Frame: During 20 min steady-state cycling
Expired gases will be collected and compared to expected VO2. Blood will be collected prior to treatment, prior to exercise and during each cycling intensity to analyze lactate accumulation.
During 20 min steady-state cycling
