Abstract EN
It has been reported previously that the upper body musculature is continually active during high intensity cycle ergometry.
The aim of this study was to examine the effects of prior upper body exercise on subsequent Wingate (WAnT) performance.
Eleven recreationally active males (20.8 ± 2.2 yrs; 77.7 ± 12.0 kg; 1.79 ± 0.04 m) completed two trials in a randomised order.
In one trial participants completed 2×30 s WAnT tests (WAnT1 and WAnT2) with a 6 min recovery period; in the other trial, this protocol was preceded with 4 sets of biceps curls to induce localised arm fatigue.
Prior upper body exercise was found to have a statistically significant detrimental effect on peak power output (PPO) during WAnT1 (P<0.05) but no effect was observed for mean power output (MPO) (P>0.05).
Handgrip (HG) strength was also found to be significantly lower following the upper body exercise.
These results demonstrate that the upper body is meaningfully involved in the generation of leg power during intense cycling.
