Laboratory-based indicators are commonly used for performance assessment in young cyclists. However, evidence supporting the use of these mostly comes from cross-sectional research, and their validity as predictors potential future remains unclear. We aimed to assess role laboratory variables predicting transition U23 (under 23 y) professional category cyclists.Sixty-five male road cyclists (19.6 [1.5] were studied. Endurance (maximal graded test simulated 8-min time trial [TT]), muscle strength/power (squat, lunge, hip thrust), body composition (assessed with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry) determined. Participants subsequently followed categorized attending whether they had transitioned ("Pro") or not ("Non-Pro") during study period.The median follow-up period was 3 years.

Twenty-four male well-trained soccer players (Age = 26 ± 4 years; stature 181 3.8; Weight 84 6.1) were randomized two groups performing short sprint interval training [sSIT (3 sets 10 × s all-out sprints with 20 recovery between efforts 3 min rest intervals sets)] or a time-matched small-sided game [SSG v 15 m area relief in-between)]. Before after 6-week period, aerobic indices, cardiac hemodynamics, anaerobic power assessed through graded exercise test utilizing gas collection system, noninvasive impedance cardiography, lower-body Wingate test, respectively. Also, sport-specific determined measuring linear speed, change direction, jumping ability. Comparing inter-individual variability adaptive changes residuals indicated that sSIT induces more uniform first second ventilatory threshold (VT 1 &amp; VT 2 ), stroke volume, peak output across team members than SSG.
