Endurance exercise performance is known to be closely associated with the three
physiological pillars of maximal O2 uptake (V ̇ O 2 max ̇V_\rmO_2\rmmax), economy or …

Human skeletal muscle demonstrates remarkable plasticity, adapting to numerous external
stimuli including the habitual level of contractile loading. Accordingly, muscle function and …

Throughout the sport-science and sports-medicine literature, the term “elite” subjects might
be one of the most overused and ill-defined terms. Currently, there is no common …

In this review we integrate the scientific literature and results-proven practice and outline a
novel framework for understanding the training and development of elite long-distance …

Profiling physiological attributes is an important role for applied exercise physiologists
working with endurance athletes. These attributes are typically assessed in well-rested …

Purpose Various systems are available for cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET), but
