Sumario:This article focuses on a study investigating the effects of auditory and visual distractions on sprint power output, perceived exertion, and blood lactate responses during indoor cycling at a fixed intensity. The study involves trained cyclists completing three randomized trials—music, Netflix viewing with audio, and a no-distraction control—while measuring physiological and perceptual responses. It hypothesizes that auditory distraction will increase sprint power and reduce perceived exertion without significantly affecting blood lactate levels, suggesting improved tolerance of discomfort rather than changes in physiological strain. The findings aim to clarify the psychological and physiological factors influencing indoor cycling performance and inform strategies to enhance training quality during conditions limiting outdoor exercise.
