The influence of cycling assessment on peak power output and road-based cycling performance prediction was evaluated in twelve well-trained amateur cyclists (mean SD; age, 35 8 yr; body mass, 74.1 6.7 kg; stature: 181 6 cm). Determining peak power output, cyclists completed a graded i) ramp assessment on a Kingcycle air-braked ergometer (PPOKING), ii) continuous assessment on a SRM electromagnetically-braked ergometer (PPOSRM), and iii) discontinuous assessment on a Monark friction-braked ergometer (PPOMON). Furthermore, a 40-km road-based individual cycle race was completed. Throughout each, power was measured using an SRM Training System. Despite no differences (P > 0.05) in O2peak across graded assessments, PPOKING (387 49W) was 3.6% higher (P 0.05: PPOSRM; r = -0.42; P > 0.05: PPOMON; r = -0.41: P > 0.05). Independent of determination, peak power output was strongly related to performance power and may provide effective means of obtained training and racing intensities
