A study is being conducted at Kingston University into
cadence selection during hill climbs in road races. The
objective is to provide some guidance to competitors on the
'trade-off' between stressing heart/lungs or leg muscles as
a result of gear selection.
The tests will be in the Human Performance Laboratory in
Penhryn Road and will involve two sessions within the same
week, each taking about 1 hour.
Dates and times are by arrangement within the period May-
July, Mon-Fri and 9-5.
A VO2max and Lactate test is included as part of the study
if you ever wondered what your exercise capacity was like
compared to others!
If you are interested and a BCF Category 3 level cyclist,
