Abstract

This review focuses on assessing durability in cyclists by analyzing the amount and intensity of prior work necessary to induce a significant decrease in performance. Various studies will be collected and analyzed to determine a standardized amount of work that causes a performance reduction. Additionally, the review will evaluate whether kilojoules are an appropriate variable for measuring the work done.
