简要总结
Sprint cycling performance has been found to be reduced when two sprints were undertaken 12 minutes apart. In a follow-up study, the investigators found evidence to suggest that some of the loss in performance that was experienced in the second sprint was due to a psychological, rather than a physiological, limitation. It is conceivable that this loss in performance would not exist during a competition. The aim of this study is, therefore, to investigate the influence that a competitive environment has on repeated-sprint performance.

结局指标
主要结局
Sprint Power Output
时间窗: From baseline to completion, ~42 days
The Lode Excalibur Sport cycle ergometer records power output at 5Hz. Peak power output will be defined as the highest power output recorded. Mean power output will be calculated as the average power output over the 27 s sprint. Comparisons will be made between conditions.
次要结局
- 20 cm Visual Analogue Scale to Assess Anxiety(From baseline to completion, ~42 days)
- 20 cm Visual Analogue Scale to Assess Self-efficacy(From baseline to completion, ~42 days)
- Sport Anxiety Scale-2 - a questionnaire to assess cognitive and somatic anxiety.(Baseline)
- Heart-rate Variability(From baseline to completion, ~42 days)
- Salivary Concentration of Alpha Amylase(From baseline to completion, ~42 days)
