Age, height, body mass, body mass index, peak height velocity, and absolute and relative power output at 2\u00a0mmol\/L and 4\u00a0mmol\/L of blood lactate concentration were compared between 2 subgroups, including those scoring at least 1 point (successful, n\u2009=\u200970) and those that did not score points (unsuccessful, n\u2009=\u200961) in the general season ranking.<jats:italic><jats:bold>Results<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic>Successful and unsuccessful riders did not differ anthropometrically. Successful riders recorded significantly higher absolute and relative power output at 2\u00a0mmol\/L and 4\u00a0mmol\/L of blood lactate concentration compared with unsuccessful riders. Successful riders were also significantly older and had advanced biological maturation compared with their unsuccessful counterparts.<jats:italic><jats:bold>Conclusion<\/jats:bold>:<\/jats:italic>Power associated with blood lactate profiles, together with chronological age and peak height velocity, plays an important role in determining race results in under 17 road cycling. Physiological tests could be helpful for coaches to measure these performance predictors.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1123\/ijspp.2020-0579","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,1]],"date-time":"2021-03-01T13:52:51Z","timestamp":1614606771000},"page":"1049-1051","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Thresholds
