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

Ultra-endurance events have gained global participation, whereas the critical factors of
competition results remain to be well elucidated. This study used a nutritional approach to …

A high-fat, low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diet has already appealed to athletes for a long time
due to its purported ability to improve exercise performance and post-exercise recovery. The …

The biological determinants of performance have been well described for running races up
to and including the marathon (42.2 km). Ultramarathon is more complex. Events range from …

Uphill running induces a higher physiological demand than level conditions. Although many
studies have investigated this locomotion from a psychological point of view, there is no …

Purpose: Previous research has shown that maximal oxygen uptake (VO 2 max) significantly
influences performance in trail-running races up to 120 km but not beyond. Similarly, the …

This study presents a novel method for evaluating the submaximal velocity-force (V (F))
relationship in mountain ultramarathon races using crowdsourced data from Strava. com …

New and promising variables are being developed to analyze performance and fatigue in
trail running, such as mechanical power, metabolic power, metabolic cost of transport and …

Trail running (TR) is performed in a natural environment, including various ranges of slopes
where maximal oxygen consumption is a major contributor to performance. The aim of this …

Endurance running performance can be predicted by maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O 2 max),
the fractional utilisation of oxygen uptake (% V̇O 2 max) and running economy at lactate …
