Cadence effects on cardiorespiratory and muscular responses during eccentric cycling.
Trial report in European journal of applied physiology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeEccentric cycling (ECC) enables high mechanical power output at a low metabolic cost, yet the influence of cadence on cardiorespiratory and neuromuscular responses during ECC remains poorly defined. This study examined the interactive effects of cadence and power output on metabolic, cardiovascular, and muscle activation responses during ECC.
methodsFifteen healthy men performed randomized incremental ECC trials at 50 and 80 rpm, with successive 4-min stages at 80, 200, and 320 W. Oxygen uptake [Formula: see text], gross mechanical efficiency (GME), cardiac output [Formula: see text], heart rate (HR), stroke volume (Qs), arteriovenous O
resultsA significant cadence × power interaction was observed for [Formula: see text] (p = 0.006). [Formula: see text] was lower at 80 rpm than at 50 rpm at 200 W (- 0.116 L·min
conclusionDuring eccentric cycling, higher cadence reduces oxygen uptake and vastus lateralis activation at moderate to high power outputs, without altering fundamental cardiovascular-metabolic coupling. These findings indicate that cadence selection modulates the metabolic and neuromuscular cost of eccentric work primarily through contraction mechanics, supporting the use of higher cadences to optimize eccentric cycling in both rehabilitation and performance settings.
