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 …

Ergonomic Responses to Aerobic Steady-State Walking and Running Performance in Children
… exertion scales in children, 2) the influence of running speed and other physiological variables such as body composition, body weight, age, and gender on the achievement of an aerobic steady-state running performance in children, and 3) the relationship between steady-state oxygen uptake and …

The effect of vertically- and horizontally-directed plyometric exercise on sprint running performance
… biased ground force application, on 40-m sprint running time, vertical jumping height, body composition and gastrocnemius medialis (GM) muscle architecture. Male (n = 19) and female (n = 20) recreational athletes were recruited and stratified according to 40 m sprinting ability, then randomly …

The Impact of High-Cadence Cycling on Overground Running Performance in Recreational Runners
… (HCC) has been shown to influence subsequent running performance and gait performance by increasing cadence and reducing work rate when cycling prior to running. However, most of this work has focused on triathletes and older adults. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the …

An Examination of a Morphological, Cardiorespiratory and Biomechanical Model of Endurance Running Performance
… for individual differences in endurance running performance of trained adult recreational runners. It was hypothesized that (1) cardiorespiratory function is the major determinant of endurance running performance, and (2) that selected morphological and biomechanical measures add …

The effect of supplementary Elliptical training protocols on running performance in trained runners
… trainer and stepper in comparison to treadmill running. It was therefore suggested that the elliptical trainer and stepper could be useful substitutes for running when periods of reduced running load are required, such as during rehabilitation from an injury, or as a means to increase running …

The effects of practical muscle blood flow restriction training on running performance and physiology
… studies have investigated BFR effects on aerobic performance. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of BFR on both aerobic and anaerobic capacity after completing eight sessions of running interval training. Sixteen recreationally trained, male and females (age 24.9 ± 6.9 years, …

An Examination of the Effects of Mindfulness and Task-Relevant Attentional Focus on Running Performance
… and task-relevant attentional focus on running performance. WKU psychology undergraduate students were assigned to one of two conditions: task-relevant attentional focus experimental training and no training control. Participants in the experimental condition received training designed …

Relationship Between a Proxy of Prenatal Testosterone (2D:4D) and Determinants of Endurance Running Performance
… and left 2D:4D are associated with superior performances in sports such as fencing, rugby, soccer, basketball, and sumo wrestling. The strongest associations, however, have been found between right 2D:4D and endurance running performance (r² = 0.25). An inverse relationship between R-L 2D:4D …

A comparison of the effects of different forms of caffeine supplementation on 5000-metre running performance
… established ergogenic aid to enhance sporting performance, and there is a variety of commercially available caffeine supplements. However, there is limited research investigating caffeine effects on running performance and comparing different forms of caffeine supplementation. AIM The purpose …

A comparison of muscle damage, soreness, morphology, T2 changes and running performance following an ultramarathon race
… It is well - established that endurance running causes muscle damage. Indirect indicators of muscle damage include the loss of muscle strength, increased levels of muscle proteins, such as creatine kinase, in the blood and delayed onset of muscle soreness. Magnetic resonance imaging has …

The Relative Influence of a Model of Selected Physiological, Morphological and Running Parameters on Middle Distance Running Performance
… morphological and mechanical parameters on running performance at 800, 1500 and 3000 meters (m). The hypothesis examined was that the relative contribution and priority of importance of the parameters studied would be similar across the middle distances. Fifty-eight male recreational runners …

Accuracy of prediction of edurance running performance : relationship to training history, muscle pain and relative perception of effort
Background: Endurance running performance is a complex interaction between training factors, exercise-induced muscle damage, and fatigue. The accuracy of prediction of running performance allows for the consideration of the effects of teleoanticipatory factors such as pacing and prior experience on …
