Running economy : the forgotten factor in elite performance.

摘要: Running performance depends on maximal oxygen uptake (VO(2max)), the ability to sustain a high percentage of VO(2max) for an extended period time and running economy. economy has been studied relatively less than other factors. economy, measured as steady state (VO(2)) at intensities below ventilatory threshold is standard method. Extrapolation common speed (268 m/min) or VO(2) required run kilometer method assessment. Individuals East African origin may be systematically more economical, although smaller body size thinner lower leg primary Strategies improving remain developed, it appears that intensity element acting improve
