Why is it important?
The importance of this study lies in determining which interval duration leads to superior physiological improvements. Understanding the most effective training method can be crucial for cyclists and coaches in optimizing workout routines for enhanced performance.
Perspectives
Potential perspectives include refining training programs for cyclists based on interval duration, and potentially improving overall training efficiency. Additionally, insights from this study could contribute to broader discussions on interval training strategies in various sports and fitness disciplines.
