Those microscopes in Odense keeps on giving new insights into muscle metabolism in relation to performance. Another super cool study from Camilla Schytz and colleagues 💪🏻

10d LEA impaired 4min TT (W) and 2d of sufficient energy did not fully restore performance in trained females. The power-to-mass ratio was NOT improved underlining the negative effects of LEA. Important findings by my good colleague Mikkel Oxfeldt researchgate.net/publication/37…

12% reduction in muscle oxidative power due to glycogen-dependent muscle fatigue! This is what we suggest based on single fiber assessments of glycogen and mitochondrial volume percentages during prolonged cycling. With Rasmus Jensen and Niels Ørtenblad. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/share/XC5XTKR9…

12wks of Sprint training improves oxygen extraction (arteriovenous oxygen difference. This aligns well with the potent effects of sprint training on mitochondrial content (stay tuned for those data). researchgate.net/publication/37…

Does durability in elite cyclists rely on fat oxidation during exercise with a high CHO intake? Under the conditions of our new study, durability could not be predicted by measures of fat oxidation or classic measures of perf. rdcu.be/dAtXC Niels Ørtenblad Joachim Nielsen

No additive effect of creatine, caffeine, and sodium bicarbonate on sprint and 6-min cycling performance in endurance‐trained individuals - Caffeine still seems the best (legal) performance enhancer for road cyclists. Great job Moesgaard et al. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

5km TT mean power declines and fat oxidation rates increase gradually during a 6 h Road Racing simulation in elite cyclists despite intake of 90g CHO/h. Peak power declines within 2hrs and is maintained thereafter underlining different fatigue mechanisms onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sm…
