EFFECTS OF HIGH INTENSITY TRAINING BY HEART RATE OR POWER IN RECREATIONAL CYCLISTS
Conclusion:
From a practical perspective, this study demonstrates that for the average recreational cyclist, there may not be any discernable advantage to using a PM to obtain increased performance and the concomitant physiological changes. The changes from a relatively modest training protocol with respect to time involved in the training were substantial. The results parallel those of Swart et al., 2009 and suggest that the relatively low cost HR monitors are equally capable as training devices compared to the PM. Results of this study indicated that the two methods resulted in roughly equivalent workout loads across training sessions, which resulted in the similar training effects observed for the two groups.
Proponents of PM training (Allen and Coggan, 2006) often suggest that using a PM will result in a different type of training. Future research may be needed to operationalize these claims and evaluate them in controlled trials. At present, there is substantial support for interval training for endurance athletes and no evidence for the superiority of any single type of device in the implementation of interval training. Until additional studies are conducted to address the potential benefits of new types of training based on PM feedback, there remains no empirical evidence for the superiority of PM-based training.

Key Points:
- Interval training improves performance for recreational cyclists as measure by changes in lactate threshold watts and 20km time trial time
- No evidence of superiority of either heart monitor training and power meter training
- Low cost heart rate monitors are equally capable as training devices

Werd ich mir den gleich mal genauer ansehen. Danke für den Tipp. Bis jetzt is mir wirklich noch keins für unter 1000 Euro unter die Augen gekommen (hab mich zugegebener maßen auch noch nie intensiver damit befasst)
