Power (upper panel 
After the first km, when cyclists were free to regulate their own pacing in all strategies, power was immediately affected in the all-out+5%mean, with a lower power at 1200 and 1400 m than in the other two strategies (P<0.05). There were, however, no differences in power between strategies from 1600 to 3400 m (P>0.05).Final sprint in the last 200 m was impaired in the all-out+5%mean strategy. Power at 4000 m was significantly lower in the all-out+5%mean compared with the self-paced and all-out+mean strategies (P<0.05).There was no effect of strategy and strategy versus distance interaction for V̇O
