Abstract

ABSTRACT.Continuous and intermittent constant power output (960 kgm/min) bicycle ergometer work was performed at 40, 60 and 80 rpm by 10 highly fit male subjects. Metabolic cost (reflected by heart rate, oxygen uptake, ventilation, lactate debt and oxygen debt) was held relatively constant among ped
