Effects of Varying Warmup Stimuli on Running Economy
… (weighted-vest strides and plyometrics) on running economy (RE) over short (5-10 minutes) and longer durations (30+ minutes) of exercise in trained distance runners. <strong>Methods</strong>: Five recreationally trained male runners were recruited to participate in this study. Each trial …

Relationships between running economy and mechanics in middle-distance runners
Running economy (RE), i.e. the oxygen consumption at a given submaximal speed, is an important determinant of endurance running performance. So far, investigators have widely attempted to individuate the factors affecting RE in competitive athletes, focusing mainly on the relationships between RE …

THE EFFECT OF STEP RATE TRAINING ON RUNNING ECONOMY AND BIOMECHANICS
<p>It is known that running economy is a determinant of running performance. Increased step rate has been correlated with improved running economy, but it is unknown whether these improvements can be maintained with chronic training. The purpose of this study was to determine if a step rate …

Within-Day Reliability of Submaximal Running Economy Testing: Implications for Advanced Footwear Testing
<p>Running economy (RE) has been identified as a critical component of endurance performance. Alterations in footwear have shown to significantly impact RE. Quantifying reliability of within-day RE measures may determine differences that could be expected when testing footwear. PURPOSE: Assess …

Running Economy: Improvements In Physiological Efficiency Attained Through Changes In Muscle Structural Morphology
Running Economy (RE) is a crucial determinant for running performance. While strategies for improving RE have been determined, the mechanisms governing this phenomenon have eluded the scientific community. My objective was to determine what adaptations, physiological, morphological, or otherwise, …

Compression under pressure: physiological and methodological factors influencing the effect of compression garments on running economy
… A small, likely beneficial improvement in running economy was observed with correctly fitted (95%:5%:0%; η2 = 0.55) but not oversized compression tights, indicating that a certain level of interface pressure is required. Compression tights improved running economy only at higher relative …

Which resistance training method best improves running economy in elite marathon runners: a 16-week randomised controlled study
… program and has been linked to improvements in running economy (RE), running muscle power factors, and time trial performance. However, the mechanisms underpinning these improvements remain unclear. This study compared concurrent heavy-weight training (HWT) and reactive-strength (RST) to …

Effects of Ischemic Preconditioning on Exercise Economy
… exercise performance in varied sports like 5K running, cycling and swimming. However, effect of ischemic preconditioning on running economy have not be investigated so far. We proposed that bilateral ischemic preconditioning will improve running economy in young healthy people. Methods: The …

Running to Labor: Ethiopian Women Distance Runners in Networks of Capital
… persisting explanatory rhetoric for East African running dominance relies on deterministic understandings of race, genetics, and environment. Little attention has been paid to the dimensions of labor, culture, and gender at work. This dissertation is the first in-depth ethnographic study of young …

The Effects of Uphill vs. Level-Grade High-Intensity Interval Training on Key Physiological Indices of Distance Running
… as to its physiological efficacy, uphill running represents a frequently prescribed and often used form of high-intensity interval training in the development of competitive distance runners. In contrast, several biomechanical studies suggest uphill vs. level-grade running results in …

Optimizing Shoe Midsoles for Running Performance
Running shoe design affects running performance. Running performance most commonly refers to running economy, the rate of oxygen consumed by an athlete running at a given speed, because it compares the input (metabolic) energy to the output (kinetic) energy. Running economy data is collected in …

The kinetics, kinematics and energy requirements of distance running: Implications for footwear design
… of performance. Over the past thirty years the running shoe has changed considerably. However, despite significant advances in footwear technology, the incidence of injury in distance runners has not altered meaningfully. It has been postulated that poor footwear selection is the mechanism …

The effect of strength training on 3km performance in recreational female endurance runners
… 16 active women, randomly assigned to either a running only group (control group, n=9) or a combined strength and endurance training group (experimental group, n=7). The ten-week training program for both groups consisted of an endurance running program three times per week, which included …

Weighted running: Effect on impact and oxygen consumption
… this study was to investigate if runners adjust running style based on impact magnitude instead of running economy while wearing 30% added trunk weight. Runners ran overground at a self-selected pace with and without 30% added trunk weight. Impact magnitudes and other force parameters were …

Relationship Between a Proxy of Prenatal Testosterone (2D:4D) and Determinants of Endurance Running Performance
… been found between right 2D:4D and endurance running performance (r² = 0.25). An inverse relationship between R-L 2D:4D and VO2max, running velocity at V̇O₂max, and peak lactate concentration in pubertal boys has been reported. </p> <p>The purpose of the present investigation was to examine …

12-DAY ADVENTURE RUN-HIKE TRAINING AT ALTITUDE IMPROVES SEA LEVEL 5KM PERFORMANCE
… was to measure the effect of a 12-day adventure running camp at ALT on 5 km time trial (TT) performance at SL. Secondarily, we explored changes in select metabolic and blood variables. We hypothesized an improvement in TT at SL. A group of five well-trained individuals (2 females) volunteered. …

Frontal Plane Pelvic Drop in Runners: Causes and Clinical Implications
<p>Running is becoming an increasingly popular sport; however, runners have a high rate of injury and are therefore often treated in the orthopedic or sports medicine setting. One current focus of these patients' treatment is gluteus medius muscle (GM) strengthening and gait retraining, with the …
