Resumo: Different competitive environments appears to affect the physical demands during the sports competitions. Thus, the aim of this study was to report the mechanical demand and pacing behaviour of twelve male elite mountain bikers on cross-country short track (XCC) and cross-country Olympic (XCO). During both competition, total race time, speed, power output (PO) and cadence (CA) were recorded. As the race time in the XCC is shorter (21.0 ± 0.5 vs 84.0 ± 3.0 min; p<0.01), the average speed (26.6 ± 0.6 vs 17.8 ± 0.6 km/h; p<0.01), PO (365.0 ± 26.7 vs 301.0 ± 26.2 watts; p<0.01) and CA (81.2 ± 4.7 vs 77.4 ± 4.3 rev∙min−1; p=0.01) were higher than the XCO. While a variable pacing was adopted during XCC, a positive profile was adopted in XCO. In addition, athletes adopted a more conservative starting pace during XCC (below average race speed) but a faster start during XCO (above average race speed). These findings demonstrated that mechanical parameters and pacing profile adopted by cyclists are different between XCC and XCO. Therefore, mountain bikers and coaches must develop specific strategy and training methods in order to obtain success in each competition.

Assim, o objetivo deste estudo foi reportar as demandas mecânicas e o comportamento do pacing de doze homens ciclistas de montanha da categoria elite durante o cross-country de pista curta (XCC) e o cross-country Olímpico (XCO). Durante ambas as competições, o tempo total de corrida, velocidade, potência (PO) e cadência (CA) foram gravados. Como o tempo de prova do XCC é menor (21,0±0,5 vs 84,0±3,0 min; p<0,01), a velocidade média (26,6±0,6 vs 17,8±0,6 km/h; p<0,01), PO (365,0±26,7 vs 301,0±26,2 watts; p<0,01) e CA (81,2±4,7 vs 77,4±4,3 rev∙min−1; p=0,01) foram maiores que no XCO. Enquanto um ritmo variável foi adotado no XCC, um perfil positivo foi adotado no XCO. Além disso, os atletas adotaram um ritmo inicial mais conservador durante o XCC (abaixo da velocidade média da prova), mas um início mais rápido durante o XCO (velocidade acima da média da prova). Esses achados demonstraram que os parâmetros mecânicos e o ritmo adotados pelos ciclistas são diferentes entre o XCC e XCO. Portanto, ciclistas e treinadores devem desenvolver estratégias e métodos de treinamento específicos para obter sucesso em cada competição.Department of Physical Education - State University of Maringá (UEM), Maringá-PR, Brazil2023-10-31info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/article/view/6793810.4025/jphyseduc.v34i1.3437Journal of Physical Education; Vol 34 No 1 (2023): Journal of Physical Education; e-3437Journal of Physical Education; Vol. 34 Núm. 1 (2023): Journal of Physical Education; e-3437Journal of Physical Education; v. 34 n. 1 (2023): Journal of Physical Education; e-34372448-2455reponame:Revista da Educação física/UEM (Online)instname:Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM)instacron:UEMenghttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/article/view/67938/751375156626Copyright (c) 2023 Arriel et al. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessArriel, Rhai AndréMeireles, Anderson Souza, Hiago Leandro Rodrigues Leite, Roberto Carlos De MatosMarocolo, Moacir2024-03-14T19:50:32Zoai:periodicos.uem.br/ojs:article/67938Revistahttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/PUBhttps://periodicos.uem.br/ojs/index.php/RevEducFis/oai||revdef@uem.br1983-30830103-3948opendoar:2024-03-14T19:50:32Revista da Educação física/UEM (Online) - Universidade Estadual de Maringá (UEM)false
