Background Middle-and long-distance running performance is constrained by several
important aerobic and anaerobic parameters. The efficacy of strength training (ST) for …

The elegant concept of a hyperbolic relationship between power, velocity, or torque and time
to exhaustion has rightfully captivated the imagination and inspired extensive research for …

Key points Critical power represents an important threshold for neuromuscular fatigue
development and may, therefore, dictate intensities for which exercise tolerance is …

Respiratory muscle training (RMT) improves respiratory muscle (RM) strength and
attenuates the RM metaboreflex. However, the time course of muscle function loss after the …

Purpose The curvature constant (W′) and asymptote (critical power; CP) of the power–
duration relationship are important parameters for explaining cycling performance. Short …

The effect of resistance training with higher-and lower-loads on muscle mass and strength
has been extensively studied, while changes in muscle endurance have received less …

The power-duration relationship is well documented for athletic performance and is
formulated out mathematically in the critical power (CP) model. The CP model, when applied …

Purpose: To investigate the effects of a sport-specific maximal 6-wk strength and
conditioning program on critical velocity (CV), anaerobic running distance (ARD), and 5-km …

The use of personal records (PRs) for running different distances may be used to derive
critical speed (CS) and the finite capacity for running speeds exceeding CS (D′). Using CS …

The objectives of this study were to examine the effects of a moderate intensity strength
training on changes in critical velocity (CV), anaerobic running distance (D'), sprint …
