Question

1. which cycling workout is designed to test and improve speed and pacing?

endurance ride
interval training
fartlek cycling
time trials

1. what is the lactate threshold during exercise?

the point when lactic acid is completely cleared from the muscles.
the intensity level where you start feeling a burning sensation in your muscles.
the stage when breathing becomes extremely heavy.
the moment when the heart rate reaches its maximum.

Explanation:

• Question 7: Time Trials are focused on riding against the clock, which directly tests and helps improve speed and pacing. Endurance Rides are about long - distance riding for stamina. Interval Training has alternating high and low - intensity periods mainly for improving power and endurance. Fartlek Cycling is more of an unstructured mix of intensities for general fitness.
• Question 8: The lactate threshold is the intensity level where lactic acid starts to accumulate faster than it can be cleared, causing a burning sensation in the muscles. Lactic acid is not completely cleared at the lactate threshold. Breathing heaviness and maximum heart rate are not the definitions of the lactate threshold.

Answer:

1. Time Trials
2. The intensity level where you start feeling a burning sensation in your muscles.
