Time-resolved energy-share reconstruction of individual glycolytic flux kinetics reveals duration-dependent bias in elite sprint cycling.
BACKGROUND Maximal lactate accumulation rate (vLamax) is commonly used as a surrogate of anaerobic glycolytic power. Conventional protocols calculate vLamax as a mean rate over a fixed sprint window after subtracting an alactic phase, even though glycolytic flux rises, peaks, and declines within seconds. Fixed-duration...
