Moderate-intensity eccentric cycling
"* This group will perform eccentric cycling exercise twice per week for ten weeks using the Cyclus2 standard eccentric ergometer.~* The intensity will start at 60% of the peak power output (PPO) of the incremental concentric cycling test.~* The intensity will progressively increase by 5% of PPO every 2 weeks (60%-80% PPO)."
High-intensity eccentric cycling
"* This group will perform eccentric cycling exercise twice per week for ten weeks using the Cyclus2 standard eccentric ergometer.~* The intensity will start at 80% of the peak power output (PPO) of the incremental concentric cycling test.~* The intensity will progressively increase by 5% of PPO every 2 weeks (80%-100% PPO)."
