The role of intense physical exertion in inflammation has been well-established. Thus, this study aimed to determine the behavior of proinflammatory interleukins following the functional threshold power test in cyclists. Materials and Methods: Twenty-nine male cyclists, with an average age 22±3.9 years and an average cycling experience 6.9±4.2 years, participated. The test comprised a 20-minute time trial. Interleukins IL-6, IL-8, and TNF-α were measured before and after 15 minutes of completing the test by collecting a 5mL sample of venous blood. Results: The concentration of the interleukins showed no significant between the pre-test and post-test moments. The functional threshold power was FTP20.95%W=256.8±35.6. The power profile was FTP20.95%W•kg-1=4.2±1. Conclusions: IL-6, IL-8, TNF-α interleukins do not significantly increase when quantified 15 minutes post functional threshold power. Determining the functional threshold power does not induce inflammation. Therefore, the functional threshold power can be determined indistinctly in the training period within a cyclist's annual training of a cyclist's annual preparation, as a tool to monitor both training and physical training and physical performance in cyclists.
