Hi Ciaran. Have a look at this one, 'The Ingestion of 39 or 64·g·h-1 of Carbohydrate is Equally Effective at Improving Endurance Exercise Performance in Cyclists' by Newell ML et al.

Kind regards, Dan.

Thanks Dan; quite similar methodology so should be useful. I'm doing basically the same test but without the 10-min rest period between the 'sections' of the ramp test. Thanks a million. Ciaran.

Hi Ciaran, we used this protocol with T&F when I was a student at the AIS.  Maybe check some of Philo Saunder's papers on running economy. eg: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17149987
