    Key points
    During the incremental exercise test, no significant differences were found in power output, oxygen consumption or heart rate between oval “Q-rings” and conventional chainrings.
    Over the course of the incremental test, blood lactate levels were comparable for the oval “Q-rings” and conventional chainrings.
    During the short sprints performed after the incremental test, there were no statistical differences in power production between oval “Q-rings” and conventional chainrings.
