- No advantage to weight training+cycling vs just cycling for lactate tolerance or VO(2) max on the bike.
- Both high resistance/low repetition and low resistance/high rep groups showed improvements in lower body exercises. But the hi-res group did better with leg presses.
The cycling-only group didn't show any improvements in lower body exercises.
- On the bike, all three groups did just about the same. No real advantage to the
gym+cycling groups over the cycling-only group.
So, they conclude, for trained cyclists resistance training for the lower body adds no additional performance to lactate and VO(2) levels.
