Abstract	Purpose: To study the pacing behavior and performance of novice youth exercisers in a controlled laboratory setting. Method: Ten healthy participants (seven male, three female, 15.8±1.0 years) completed four, 2-km trials on a Velotron cycling ergometer. Visit 1 was a familiarization trial. Visits 2 to 4 involved the following conditions, in randomized order: no opponent (NO), a virtual opponent (starting slow and finishing fast) (OP-SLOWFAST), and a virtual opponent (starting fast and finishing slow) (OP-FASTSLOW). Repeated measurement ANOVAs (p < 0.05) were used to examine differences in both pacing behavior and also performance related to power output, finishing- and split times, and RPE between the four successive visits and the three conditions. Expected performance outcome was measured using a questionnaire. Results: Power output increased (F[subscript 3,27] = 5.651, p = 0.004, [eta superscript 2] [subscript rho] = 0.386) and finishing time decreased (F[subscript 3,27] = 9.972, p[less than] 0.001, [eta superscript 2] [subscript rho] = 0.526) between visit 1 and visits 2, 3 and 4. In comparison of the first and second visit, the difference between expected finish time and actual finishing time decreased by 66.2%, regardless of condition. The only significant difference observed in RPE score was reported at the 500 m point, where RPE was higher during visit 1 compared to visits 3 and 4, and during visit 2 compared to visit 4 (p < 0.05). No differences in pacing behavior, performance, or RPE were found between conditions (p > 0.05). Conclusion: Performance was improved by an increase in experience after one visit, parallel with the ability to anticipate future workload. (As Provided).
