The Manipulation of Pace within Endurance Sport

In any athletic event, the ability to appropriately distribute energy is essential to prevent premature fatigue prior to the completion of the event. In sport science literature this is termed "pacing." Within the past decade, research aiming to better understand the underlying mechanisms influencing the selection of an athlete's pacing during exercise has dramatically increased. It is suggeste...

Anaerobic threshold: its concept and role in endurance sport.

aerobic to anaerobic transition intensity is one of the most significant physiological variable in endurance sports. Scientists have explained the term in various ways, like, Lactate Threshold, Ventilatory Anaerobic Threshold, Onset of Blood Lactate Accumulation, Onset of Plasma Lactate Accumulation, Heart Rate Deflection Point and Maximum Lactate Steady State. But all of these have great role ...

Specialities of assessment of endurance capabilities in sport active children.

Maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max) belongs to most important functional parameters of physical fitness testing and consideration of endurance capabilities. The value of VO2 max depends on age, gender, genetic disposition, body dimensions and physical fitness. Spiroergometric examination was done on cycle ergometer (ramp 25-35 W per minute) at vita maxima. One hundred and seventy children (129 boys...
