Pacing strategy optimization for time trial cyclists with physiological constraints
This thesis investigates the optimization of pacing strategies for time-trial cyclists by integrating physiological constraints with course-specific environmental factors. Two complementary methods are developed: one directly optimizes velocity profiles using total energy expenditure as a proxy for …

The effects of hand and forearm cooling on self-paced cycling performance in the heat.
… differences in time to completion, power output, pacing strategy (p=0.488), core temperature, or heart rate response across the conditions. However, whole-body thermal sensation and comfort were significantly reduced in the 10°C and 20°C trials compared to the 32°C trial from the 5-km mark onward. …

Mechanisms by which cardiac resynchronisation therapy improves cardiac performance in heart failure
… by which biventricular and left ventricular pacing improves cardiac performance in patients with heart failure. We demonstrated for the first time that CRT results in an improvement in acute haemodynamic variables in heart failure patients with a narrow QRS duration that is comparable to the …

Testing the strength model of self-control: Does willpower resemble a muscle?
… more anxious beforehand and adopted a fast start strategy, whereas the self-paced group had a conservative pacing pattern. Study 4 showed that, for females, consuming a sports drink—as opposed to plain water—associated with better physical (high-intensity track running) and cognitive self-control …

… and the perception of time can contribute to pacing strategy, and perhaps play a role in the maintenance of an exercise or sport program; however, little is known about the relationship among these factors and no research has been conducted to examine the relationship between …

Force And Electromyographic Responses To Ergometer Rowing
… conditions that were influenced by fatigue, pacing strategy, or both. In this investigation, trials (N – 117) were conducted on three ergometers affording varying levels of control over muscle length, contraction velocity, and muscle contribution to force output. Subjects (a – 11) that …

Racing patterns of elite and non-elite male Two Oceans marathon runners
… Limited information exists about the pacing patterns of elite and non-elite runners competing in the 56km Two Oceans Marathon. Objective: The main aim of the study was to establish and compare similarities and differences in pacing patterns between elite and non-elite male runners in …

Performance and fatigue charateristics of paralympic athletes with cerebral palsy
… in studies 2 and 3 through investigation of pacing strategies employed by these athletes. Six athletes with CP and 13 AB athletes performed two trials of eight sets of ten shuttles (totalling 1600 m). One trial was distance deceived and the other was non distance deceived. The CP group ran …

Establishing the physiological, anthropometric and training characteristics, and pacing patterns of runners racing in a tropical ultra-marathon
… high temperature and humidity, along with their pacing have not been documented. Knowing these parameters and their relationship with performance in this group of participants are important for prescribing appropriate training to maximise performance and minimise the risk of injury, especially …

A comparison of the pacing profiles adopted by male runners in the Comrades Marathon up run
… ultramarathon, knowledge of the most effective pacing to adopt in an ultramarathon race would be invaluable to coaches and runners, as well as of academic interest, since this information is already well established for the standard marathon. The Comrades Marathon is a globally recognised …

Accuracy of prediction of edurance running performance : relationship to training history, muscle pain and relative perception of effort
… the effects of teleoanticipatory factors such as pacing and prior experience on performance. However, previous studies have not adequately considered the role of predicting performance outcomes before competition, and the potential influence of self-regulated pacing and prior experience on running …
