The relationship between running economy and biomechanical variables in distance runners.
In this study, we analyzed the relationship between running economy (RE) and biomechanical parameters in a group running at the same relative intensity and same absolute velocity. Sixteen homogeneous male long-distance runners performed a test to determine RE at 4.4 m.s(-1), corresponding to 11.1% below velocity at the ventilatory threshold. We found significant correlations between RE and biom...
متن کاملDifferences in Ground Contact Time Explain the Less Efficient Running Economy in North African Runners
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between biomechanical variables and running economy in North African and European runners. Eight North African and 13 European male runners of the same athletic level ran 4-minute stages on a treadmill at varying set velocities. During the test, biomechanical variables such as ground contact time, swing time, stride length, stride fr...
متن کاملMaximal strength training improves running economy in distance runners.
PURPOSE The present study investigated the effect of maximal strength training on running economy (RE) at 70% of maximal oxygen consumption (V[spacing dot above]O2max) and time to exhaustion at maximal aerobic speed (MAS). Responses in one repetition maximum (1RM) and rate of force development (RFD) in half-squats, maximal oxygen consumption, RE, and time to exhaustion at MAS were examined. M...
متن کاملMechanisms for improved running economy in beginner runners.
UNLABELLED Controversy surrounds whether running mechanics make good predictors of running economy (RE) with little known about the development of an economical running gait. PURPOSE The aim of this study was to identify if mechanical or physiological variables changed during 10 wk of running in beginners and whether these changes could account for any change in RE. METHODS A 10-wk running ...
متن کاملRunning for Exercise Mitigates Age-Related Deterioration of Walking Economy
INTRODUCTION Impaired walking performance is a key predictor of morbidity among older adults. A distinctive characteristic of impaired walking performance among older adults is a greater metabolic cost (worse economy) compared to young adults. However, older adults who consistently run have been shown to retain a similar running economy as young runners. Unfortunately, those running studies did...
