Last week we discussed the theory surrounding testing cyclists. This week we build on that discussion and look at ways the underlying theory can be applied to testing cyclists in a practical sense. We investigate how appropriate testing should be selected and administered and also provide information on how to evaluate the data that these tests provide.
1:20 Test selection. 5:40 Metabolic energy system specificity. 7:50 Biomechanical movement pattern specificity. 12:10 Characteristics of the athlete being tested. 16:45 Environmental factors. 21:45 Test Administration - Health and safety. 24:20 Selection and training of the tester. 34:35 Data collection. 38:05 Testing format (batteries, trials, sequence of tests). 50:05 Preparing an athlete for testing. 65:00 Psychological impact of a bad test result on the athlete. 75:00 Evaluation of Test Data
