TABLE 1.
Mean power (W) produced during the initial, middle and final sections and throughout the time trial in each of four environments
| Stage | Cool | Moderate | Hot | Hot Humid |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0−2 km | 195 (54) ‡ | 183 (51) ‡ | 168 (52) | 151 (42) ‡ |
| 6−15 km | 191 (60) ‡ | 181 (51) ‡ | 166 (52) | 151 (46) ‡ |
| 18−20 km | 226 (72) ‡ | 211 (65) ‡ | 192 (59) | 183 (55) ‡ |
| Throughout | 198 (61) ‡ | 185 (53) ‡ | 170 (53) | 156 (45)‡ |
Data are means (SD). Sections were selected to represent the pace sustained initially (0–2 km), during the middle (6–15 km), in the final end spurt (18–20 km), and throughout (0–20 km) the time‐trial. ‡Significant difference from Hot (P < 0.05). n = 14.
