Abstract
- We investigated the effects of different performance goals (best time vs. beat the opponent) on pacing behaviour during a 10-km cycling race and explored the influence of different performance level of opponents on ratings of perceived exertion (RPE), affective feelings and self-efficacy. Thirteen cyclists performed two time-trials (TT) and two races against a faster (FAST +6%) or a slower (SLOW –3%) virtual opponent. Power output (PO), RPE, affective feelings and self-efficacy were recorded at each kilometer point. Race average and race phases\ud [starting (P1= first kilometer); first half (P2=2nd to 5th km); second half (P3=6th to 9th km) and final sprint (FS=last kilometer)] were analyzed. There was no difference in performance, assessed by race time between conditions (p=0.84). PO during TT was lower in P3 compared to FS (p=0.03; ES 0.6; 90%CI 0.4 to 0.7). In SLOW and FAST, PO was higher in P1 compared to other phases (p
