Injuries and lack of motivation are common reasons for discontinuation of running. Real-time
feedback from wearables can reduce discontinuation by reducing injury risk and improving …

Sports Exerc., Vol. 44, No. 8, pp. 1519–1525, 2012. Purpose: Based on mass alone, one
might intuit that running barefoot would exact a lower metabolic cost than running in shoes …

The purpose of the present study was to investigate whether increased tendon-aponeurosis
stiffness and contractile strength of the triceps surae (TS) muscle-tendon units induced by …

The economy of running has traditionally been quantified from the mass-specific oxygen
uptake; however, because fuel substrate usage varies with exercise intensity, it is more …

We hypothesised that experienced runners would select a stride frequency closer to the
optimum (minimal energy costs) than would novice runners. In addition, we expected that …

Training, footwear, nutrition, and racing strategies (ie, drafting) have all been shown to
reduce the metabolic cost of distance running (ie, improve running economy). However, how …

The purpose of this study was to determine if changes in triceps-surae tendon stiffness (TST
K) could affect running economy (RE) in highly trained distance runners. The intent was to …

Metabolic measurement is still the criterion for investigation of the efficiency of mechanical
work and for analysis of endurance performance in running. Metabolic demand may be …

We compared 10 published equations for calculating energy expenditure from oxygen
consumption and carbon dioxide production using data for 10 high-caliber male distance …

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 …
