Resumen:
Introduction: Cycling performance is affected by many factors and is the expression of a multitude of variables. Different studies aiming to describe variables determining cycling performance are focused mainly on metabolic efficiency optimization and mechanical efficiency optimization. Strategy and tactics analysis in cycling represent a key additional performance variable, however, the knowledge of methods to assess these parameters and the possible performance implications is low. The main purposes of the study are to 1) systematically review the state of the art related to strategy and tactics analysis in cycling 2) describe and analyse the possible implications and possible evaluation methods of tactics and strategy in cycling.
Evidence acquisition: MEDLINE®/PubMed and Scopus databases were searched with additional integration from external sources, between March and April 2020. To meet the inclusion criteria, studies published from 2000 to 2020 that evaluated the impact of strategies and/or tactics on cycling performance or aimed to study and develop strategy and/or tactic models to improve cycling performance were selected.
Evidence synthesis: Starting from the 12972 identified recor...
