Background Climate change is set to exacerbate occupational heat strain, the combined
effect of environmental and internal heat stress on the body, threatening human health and …

There is considerable research interest in psychological aspects of endurance performance.
Until recently, research typically lacked a theoretical underpinning, and contemporary …

Functional threshold power is defined as the highest power output a cyclist can maintain in a
quasi-steady state for approximately 60 min (FTP 60). In order to improve practicality for …

In any athletic event, the ability to appropriately distribute energy is essential to prevent
premature fatigue prior to the completion of the event. In sport science literature this is …

The aim of this study was to analyse the influence of the pacing strategy adopted by elite
marathon runners when setting every marathon world record in the last 50 years. We divided …

The current study compared mouth swills containing carbohydrate (CHO), menthol (MEN) or
a combination (BOTH) on 40 km cycling time trial (TT) performance in the heat (32° C, 40 …

Background It has been suggested that pacing is a thermoregulatory behaviour. We
investigated the effect of competition on pacing, performance and thermophysiological strain …

The practice of physical activity in a variable climate during the same competition is
becoming more and more common due to climate change and increasingly frequent climate …

Purpose: This study investigated the effects of combined mouth rinse and topical application
of L-menthol on perceptual responses and running performance under thermoneutral …

The purposeful distribution of speed, power, or energy is termed as the pacing or pacing
strategy and is recognized as a key determinant in optimal run performance. There is no …
