This study proposed to verify the sensibility of the critical power model parameters in response to training load variation during a kayaking competitive season. Eleven young male kayakers participated of this study. They were evaluated at the end of each of three mesocycles, as follows: (M1) characteristically aerobic; (M2) characteristically aerobic-anaerobic and; (M3) characteristically anaerobic and velocity, just before competition. Critical velocity (CV) and kayaking anaerobic capacity (ACkayak) were estimated from the results of three distance tests (500, 1,000 e 1,800 m) covered in the minimal possible time. The ACkayak did not change after the three mesocycles (M1: 91.4 ± 32.0 m; M2: 89.,0 ± 50.8 m e; M3: 74.0 ± 44.2 m). In contrast, CV improved from M1 (3.19 ± 0.28 m.s-1) to M2 (3.33 ± 0.28 m.s-1), and became stable in M3 (3.32 ± 0.19 m.s-1). The results indicated that CV is sensible to training effects, and it can be used to control for aerobic training adaptations.
