Can Facebook and Fortnite make you ride faster? According to this researcher, mentally fatiguing tasks such as engaging in social media or playing a computer game after training could boost your cycling performance...
A study by researchers across universities in the UK, Spain, Italy and Denmark which involved participation from ‘highly trained and elite’ cyclists has found that adding cognitively demanding tasks after standard physical training has been completed, also known as “Brain Endurance Training” can benefit cycling performance.published in Journal of Science and Medicine in Sport, told road.
“Interestingly, if you look at all the physiological parameters, if you look at aerobic fitness, peak oxygen uptake , lactate threshold, heart rate, before and after, they're identical, so you’re not changing physiology. What you're changing is your perception of that physiological load.” After six weeks, the BET group improved performance on time to exhaustion tests more than the standard physical training group.In the second experiment, 24 male road cyclists aged between 21 and 29 took part. This group was accustomed to cycling around 400 km per week and classified as ‘highly trained/elite’. Again, the cyclists were split into two groups, with one half given cognitive tasks, and the other half listening to neutral sounds.
Prof Ring said: “The idea is that you're kind of you're overloading the brain by forcing it to respond and inhibit, which is cognitively taxing. So after people trained, we used these to sort of create mental fatigue in the athlete. Prof Ring, however, was a little sceptic of indulging in social media or video games right after training. “I’m not convinced if it’s sufficiently mentally taxing or not. It might be for some, but for others it could instead be relaxing,” he said.
