In recent years, there has been a significant expansion in female participation in endurance
(road and trail) running. The often reported sex differences in maximal oxygen uptake (V …

Objective: To investigate (i) typical protocols used in research on biomechanical response to
running-induced fatigue,(ii) the effect of sport-induced acute fatigue on the biomechanics of …

Ultra-endurance running (UER) poses extreme mental and physical challenges that present
many barriers to completion, let alone performance. Despite these challenges, participation …

The term fatigue is used to describe a distressing and persistent symptom of physical and/or
mental tiredness in certain clinical populations, with distinct but ultimately complex …

Downhill running (DR) is a whole-body exercise model that is used to investigate the
physiological consequences of eccentric muscle actions and/or exercise-induced muscle …

This study aimed to determine mountain ultra-marathon (MUM) performance factors in a
large group of endurance mountain runners. Maximal aerobic speed (MAS) was assessed …

Background Runners have a high risk of acquiring a running-related injury. Understanding
the mechanisms of impact force attenuation into the body when a runner fatigues might give …

The aims of the study were to describe the physiological profile of a 65-km (4000-m
cumulative elevation gain) running mountain ultra-marathon (MUM) and to identify …

Purpose: To examine the extent to which the classical physiological variables of endurance
running performance [VO2max,% VO2max at ventilatory threshold (VT), and running …

The aim of this study was first to determine if level, uphill, and downhill energy cost of
running (ECR) values were correlated at different slopes and for different running speeds …
