title: Anaerobic Capacityestimated in A Single Supramaximal Test in Cycling: Validity and Reliability Analysis.
abstract: The aim was to verify the validity (i.e., study A) and reliability (i.e., study B) of the alternative maximal accumulated oxygen deficit determined using onlya supramaximal effort (MAODALT)to estimate anaerobic capacity [i.e., estimated by the gold standard maximal accumulated oxygen deficit method (MAOD)] during cycling. In study A, the effects of supramaximal intensities on MAODALTand the comparison with the MAOD were investigated in fourteen active subjects (26 ± 6 years). In study B, the test-retest reliability was investigated, where fourteen male amateur cyclists (29 ± 5 years) performed the MAODALTtwice at 115% of the intensity associated to maximal oxygen uptake (). MAODALTdetermined at 130 and 150% of was lower than MAOD (p ≤ 0.048), but no differences between MAODALTdetermined at 100, 105, 110, 115, 120 and 140% of (3.58 ± 0.53L; 3.58 ± 0.59L; 3.53 ± 0.52L; 3.48 ± 0.72L; 3.52 ± 0.61L and 3.46 ± 0.69L, respectively) with MAOD (3.99 ± 0.64L). The MAODALTdetermined from the intensities between 110 and 120% of presented the better agreement and concordance with MAOD. In the test-retest, the MAODALTwas not different (p > 0.05), showed high reproducibility when expressed in absolute values (ICC = 0.96, p < 0.01), and a good level of agreement in the Bland-Altman plot analysis (mean differences ± CI95%:-0.16 ± 0.53L). Thus, the MAODALTseems to be valid and reliable to assess anaerobic capacity in cycling.
