Interval training is a simple concept that refers to repeated bouts of relatively hard work
interspersed with recovery periods of easier work or rest. The method has been used by …

There are various categorization models of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) in the
literature that need to be more consistent in definition, terminology, and concept …

A variable pacing profile is common in different endurance events. In these races, several
factors, such as changes in elevation or race dynamics, lead participants to perform …

Carbohydrate (CHO) availability sustains high metabolic demands during prolonged
exercise. The adequacy of current CHO intake recommendations, 30–90 g· h− 1 dependent …

Background Prior studies investigated selected discrete sagittal‐plane outcomes (eg, peak
knee flexion) in relation to running economy, hereby discarding the potential relevance of …

Fatigue resistance is vital for success in elite road cycling, as repeated, intense efforts
challenge the athletes' ability to sustain peak performance throughout prolonged races. The …

We thank Drake et al.(2023) for an interesting paper in this issue of the European Journal of
Applied Physiology. The authors addressed the long-standing question of which …

Purpose: To investigate how cycling time-trial (TT) performance changes over a cycling
season, both in a “fresh” state and in a “fatigued” state (durability). Additionally, the aim was …

Purpose: To describe and compare the race characteristics, demands, and durability profile
of a male and a female Grand Tour winner. Methods: Overall and stage-type-specific (ie …

During prolonged running at moderate‐to‐high intensity, running economy (RE) deteriorates
and attainable maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) decreases. Whether these changes …
