Physiological responses during the simulated 20 km time trial (20TT) Pre- and Post-Taper. Values are Mean (SD). T30 (30% reduction in weekly training volume; n = 5), T50 (50% reduction in weekly training volume; n = 5), T80 (80% reduction in weekly training volume; n = 5). * indicates significantly different from Pre-test, p ≤ 0.05; #indicates p = 0.057 from Pre-test. |
