“…The present results in the cross-sectional analysis showed the relationships between RS of all stages in SRT and maximal endurance performance (r = 0.71 -0.85), and maximal aerobic capacity (r = 0.68 -0.75). The strongest predictor for RS peak and VO 2max was RS at 90% of HR max , which is in line with our previous study (43) and the studies of Lamberts et al (25) and Otter et al (35). Recently, we observed the similar significant relationships between RS at 70-90% of HR max in SRT performed in outdoor field conditions and maximal endurance performance (r = 0.74-0.83) and aerobic capacity (r = 0.58-0.75) (43).…”

“…However, different durations and intensities of training sessions, may cause fluctuation in exercise HR, and thus, may disturb the relationship between HR and RS (1,21). Recently, we observed that the changes in RS at 80 and 90 % of HR max in a three-staged submaximal running test in field conditions were related with the change in maximal endurance performance during the 18-week endurance training program (43). However, environmental factors such as wind, temperature and terrain may impair the usefulness of the submaximal running test in monitoring of training adaptation in spite of the standardizing of exercise duration and intensity.…”

“…In addition, cardiac autonomic activity is likely to have an important role in endurance training adaptation (2,3,15,23,24). Faster cardiorespiratory recovery after exercise has been shown to be related to a greater vagal activity and aerobic capacity (8, 13,39,43). In addition, the measurement of post-exercise HRR and heart rate variability (HRV) have been proposed to have potential for monitoring fatigue and predicting changes in endurance performance parameters (3,20,23,24,45), and would be easy and quickly to perform in practical training situation.…”

“…The aim of this study was to investigate whether a submaximal running test (SRT) combined with the post-exercise HRR, HRV and CMJ measurements conducted in the laboratory conditions could be used in monitoring changes in endurance performance during an 18-week training period. We hypothesized that 1) increased running speeds at standardized submaximal HR levels and post-exercise cardiac vagal activity would be related to enhanced endurance performance (3,38,43,45), and 2) decreased neuromuscular function would be related to negative endurance training adaptation (7,9,16).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate whether a submaximal running test (SRT) with post-3 exercise heart rate recovery, heart rate variability and countermovement jump measurements 4 could be used to monitor endurance training adaptation. Thirty-five endurance trained men 5 and women completed an 18-week endurance training program. Maximal endurance 6 performance and maximal oxygen uptake were measured every eight weeks. In addition, SRT 7 with post-exercise heart rate recovery, heart rate variability and countermovement jump 8 measurements were performed every four weeks. SRT consisted of two 6-minute stages at 9 70% and 80% of HR max and a 3-minute stage at 90% HR max , followed by a 2-minute recovery 10 stage for measuring post-exercise heart rate recovery, heart rate variability and 11 countermovement jump test. The highest responders according to the change of maximal 12 endurance performance showed significant improvement in running speeds during stages 2 13 and 3 in SRT, while no changes were observed in the lowest responders. The strongest 14 correlation was found between the change of maximal endurance performance and running 15 speed during stage 3, while no significant relationships were found between the change of 16 maximal endurance performance and the changes of post exercise heart rate recovery, heart 17 rate variability and countermovement jump. Running speed at 90% HR max intensity was the 18 most sensitive variable to monitor adaptation to endurance training. The present submaximal 19 test showed potential to monitor endurance training adaptation. Furthermore, it may serve a 20 practical tool for athletes and coaches to evaluate weekly the effectiveness of training 21 program without interfering normal training habits. 22 23

Purpose To determine if post-exercise heart rate variability, in the form of logged transformed root mean square of successive differences of the R–R intervals (LnRMSSD) can be measured reliably during the recovery from a submaximal cycle test and what the relationship of LnRMSSD is with training status of the cyclists. Methods Fourteen male cyclists participated in the reliability part for the study, which included performing six Lamberts Submaximal Cycle Test (LSCT), during which recovery LnRMSSD was measured over 30 s (LnRMSSD30 s), 60 s LnRMSSD60 s)and 90 s LnRMSSD90 s). In addition, fifty male and twenty female cyclists completed a peak power output (PPO) test (including VO2peak) and 40 km time trial (40 km TT) before which they performed the LSCT as a standardized warm-up. Relationships between the LnRMSSD and PPO, VO2peak and 40 km TT time were studied. Results Due to the design of the LSCT, submaximal heart and breathing rate were similar at the end of stage 3 of the LSCT, as well as during the recovery periods. The highest reliability was found in LnRMSSD60 s (ICC: 0.97) with a typical error of the measurement (TEM: 5.8%). In line with this the strongest correlations were found between LnRMSSD60 s and PPO (r = 0.93[male]; 0.85[female]), VO2peak (r = 0.71[male]; 0.63[female];) and 40 km TT (r = – 0.83[male]; – 0.63[female]). Conclusions LnRMSSD60 s can be measured reliably after the LSCT and can predict PPO, VO2peak and 40 km TT performance well in trained-to-elite cyclists. These findings suggest that recovery LnRMSSD can potentially play an important role in monitoring and fine-tuning training prescriptions in trained-to-elite cyclists.
