Thirteen experienced riders and three elite riders underwent bicycle ergometer tests at submaximal and maximal workloads. Oxygen uptake, pulmonary ventilation and heart rate were also studied during riding at a walk, a trot and a canter. The mean maximal oxygen uptake of the experienced riders in the ergometer test (2.71 . min-1) was superior to the average maximal oxygen uptake of other groups of the same age and sex. The average oxygen uptake of the experienced riders in trot sitting was 1.701 . min-1, trot rising 1.681 . min-1 and in canter 1.801 . min-1. The experienced riders used at least 60% of their maximal aerobic power in trot and canter, which is an exercise intensity that may induce some training effect. Two elite riders consistently had lower oxygen uptakes in riding than the other riders. The heart rate -- oxygen uptake relationships in riding and in the ergometer tests were similar, except during trot sitting when the heart rate tended to be higher, indicating a larger share of static muscle contraction in this gait. Static muscle strength was measured in nine riders and seven non-riders. Six muscle groups were investigated, but no significant difference in muscle strength could be demonstrated between riders and controls.
13名经验丰富的骑手和3名精英骑手在次最大和最大负荷下进行了自行车测力计测试。在步行、小跑和慢跑时骑行过程中，还对摄氧量、肺通气量和心率进行了研究。经验丰富的骑手在测力计测试中的平均最大摄氧量（2.71. min-1）高于同年龄和性别的其他组的平均最大摄氧量。经验丰富的骑手在小跑坐姿时的平均摄氧量为1.701. min-1，小跑起身时为1.681. min-1，慢跑时为1.801. min-1。经验丰富的骑手在小跑和慢跑时至少使用了其最大有氧功率的60%，这是一种可能会产生一定训练效果的运动强度。两名精英骑手在骑行时的摄氧量始终低于其他骑手。骑行和测力计测试中的心率与摄氧量关系相似，但在小跑坐姿时心率往往较高，表明该步态中静态肌肉收缩的比例较大。对9名骑手和7名非骑手测量了静态肌肉力量。对六个肌肉群进行了研究，但骑手和对照组之间的肌肉力量没有显著差异。
