In this discipline in the male range average power of about 1000 watts can be achieved which ( aerobic and anaerobic metabolism muscle glycogen, creatine phosphate ) is only possible with the full use of the various energy reserves. The goal of the athlete is completely exhausted and greatly acidifies its muscles. In contrast to the individual pursuit always starts only one rider at a time.
The time trial is for men over 1000m, women and juniors over 500m.
