dc.description.abstractOver the years research has attempted to understand the central vs. peripheral adaptations to training utilizing double-leg and single-leg cycling to further asses the contribution of these components respectively in the context of overall cardiovascular function and performance. Furthermore, single-leg cycling with a counterweight allows cycling with a motion similar to that of traditional double-leg cycling facilitating for more power with lower cardiovascular effort. This study examined the effects of a counterweighted single-leg cycling training program on single-leg and double-leg cycling performance during a ramp incremental test to exhaustion. Ten cardiovascular untrained otherwise healthy men were recruited. The participants underwent a series of ramp incremental tests which were comprised of traditional double-leg cycling and single-leg counterweighted cycling with each leg respectively, before and after a four-week single-leg training intervention. The results suggest that counter weighted single-leg cycling may have influenced central components leading to significant increases in double-leg maximal oxygen consumption, the gas exchange threshold and respiratory compensation point.en_US
