Differentiating Endurance-and Speed-Adapted Types of Elite and World Class Milers According to Biomechanical, Pacing and Perceptual Responses during a Sprint Interval Session

The aim was to compare pacing, biomechanical and perceptual responses between elite speed-and endurance-adapted milers during a sprint interval training session (SIT). Twenty world-class middle-distance runners (male: n = 16, female: 4; 24.95 ± 5.18 years; 60.89 7 kg) were classified as either speed- or according their recent performances at 800 m longer races than 1500 (10 subjects per group). Participants performed 10 repetitions of 100 sprints with 2 min active recovery each, performance, collected. difference accumulated times the last first five higher in speed-adapted (ES 1.07) displaying more positive pacing strategy. A coefficient variation (CV%) displayed across by average repetition time, contact affective valence ≥ 1.15). Speed-adapted experienced lower rates after 4th excepting 8th 0.99). may need display profile and, therefore, would experience levels rapid increase ground time SIT.
