Block sequencing: effects on power output during all-out sprints in trained cyclists

  Objective: verify the effects of a concentrated block training of high-intensity interval training over the power responses in trained cyclists. Methods: 10 trained cyclists (VO2max 61 ± 5 ml/Kg/min; 33 ± 11 years; 177 ± 5 cm; 75 ± 6 Kg), performed an incremental test, followed by a conse...

Sumario:  Objective: verify the effects of a concentrated block training of high-intensity interval training over the power responses in trained cyclists. Methods: 10 trained cyclists (VO2max 61 ± 5 ml/Kg/min; 33 ± 11 years; 177 ± 5 cm; 75 ± 6 Kg), performed an incremental test, followed by a consecutive 7-day period of high-intensity interval training of all-out sprints. The training sessions consisted of 10 sets of 3 sprints with 15, 30 and 45 seconds separated by pauses of a 1:5 proportion. Power output measures were made at days 1, 4 and 7. Results: Through the week, no differences were seen in mean power (MP) and peak power (PP) between days 1, 4 and 7 (p < 0,05). During all sessions, the MP and PP of the 15-second sprints were significantly higher than the 30 (p = 0,03) and 45 seconds (p < 0,0001), however, there were no differences between 30 and 45-second sprints. For the ten sets of sprints the PP was higher in the 2 first sets (p = 0,03), for MP, the 3 initial sets were higher than the others (p = 0,03). Conclusion: the present study showed that during a 7 day period of intense training of all out sprints there were no significant differences in the power output during the training sessions.
