The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between several commonly used aerobic and anaerobic cycle ergometer tests and performance during a treadmill cycling hill climb. Eight competitive cyclists (age 27 +/- 7 years; body mass 73.2 +/- 5.2 kg; height 177 +/- 6 cm; mean +/- s) completed...
