Anthropometric and power-related measurements across the stage race.

In the Table are reported the results of the measurements at the same time-points of blood sampling, with the exception of the height that is reported only for day -1.Mean power output and accumulated power output, as both raw data and corrected for body weight, refer to the mean or the sum, respectively, of the consecutive measurements relative to the period preceding the blood sampling. The same applies to mean net energy expenditure and accumulated net energy expenditure for whom the rest values (day -1) correspond to the basal metabolic rate. Measurements are expressed as mean±SD and values bearing different letters in apex are significantly different (p
