How do physiological demands affect rider performance?

Physiological demands play a crucial role in determining the performance of a rider. Different physiological factors such as heart rate, oxygen consumption, blood lactate, and muscular fatigue can drastically affect the riding ability of a rider. The endurance, stamina, and power output of a rider are directly related to their aerobic and anaerobic capacities. The level of physiological stress and fatigue can also lead to a decrement in cognitive function, which can impact decision-making on the course. Therefore, riders must carefully monitor their physiological demands and train appropriately to ensure optimal performance.
