2016, Journal of Science and Medicine in SportCitation Excerpt :Therefore, by manipulating the performance feedback that athletes receive, the importance of these expectations can be examined.5 Previous deception studies have demonstrated that pacing strategy and performance are largely unaffected by the provision of incorrect performance feedback during self-paced cycling time trials (TT).6,7 As feedback is most influential when it is attended to and evaluated in respect to salient self-goals8, the type of feedback manipulated may have limited the effectiveness of the deceptive interventions.
Deception by manipulating the clock calibration influences cycle ergometer endurance time in males
2009, Journal of Science and Medicine in SportCitation Excerpt :In fact, athletes often determine their degree of effort according to a pace perceived to be appropriate for their goal. A pacing strategy based on perception of the task involved is one such example, investigated by Nikolopoulos et al.11 It was found that when informed only of the % of the distances covered, cyclists rode at similar speeds and similar heart rates when riding time trials at different distances that they believed to all be the same. When, in another set of rides, they were informed of the actual distances to be covered, speeds and heart rates were lower for longer distances, and vice versa.
