Running economy: measurement, norms, and determining factors

KR Barnes, AE Kilding - Sports medicine-open, 2015 - Springer
Running economy (RE) is considered an important physiological measure for endurance
athletes, especially distance runners. This review considers 1) how RE is defined and …

Strategies to improve running economy

KR Barnes, AE Kilding - Sports medicine, 2015 - Springer
Running economy (RE) represents a complex interplay of physiological and biomechanical
