• Cycling at Altitude: Lower Absolute Power Output as the Main Cause of Lower Gross Efficiency 

      van Erck, Dennis; Wenker, Eric J.; Levels, Koen; Foster, Carl; De Koning, Jos J.; Noordhof, Dionne (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)
      Background: Although cyclists often compete at altitude, the effect of altitude on gross efficiency (GE) remains inconclusive. Purpose: To investigate the effect of altitude on GE at the same relative exercise intensity ...
    • The effect of sodium bicarbonate supplementation on the decline in gross efficiency during a 2000-m cycling time trial 

      Voskamp, Anna E.; van den Bos, Senna; Foster, Carl; De Koning, Jos J.; Noordhof, Dionne (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      Background: Gross efficiency (GE) declines during high-intensity exercise. Increasing extracellular buffer capacity might diminish the decline in GE and thereby improve performance. Purpose: To examine if sodium bicarbonate ...
    • The future of health/fitness/sports performance 

      Foster, Carl; Cortis, Cristina; Fusco, Andrea; Bok, Daniel; Boullosa, Daniel A.; Capranica, Laura; De Koning, Jos J.; Haugen, Thomas André; Olivera-Silva, Iranse; Periara, Julien; Porcari, John P.; Pyne, David Bruce; Sandbakk, Øyvind (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)
      Exercise relative to health/fitness and sports performance has displayed an evolutionary role over time. Large scale, overriding, factors are present which are likely to help us understand the likely future evolutionary ...
