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 rating of perceived exertion (RPE) is a recognized marker of intensity and of
homeostatic disturbance during exercise. It is typically monitored during exercise tests to …

The aim of an optimal pacing strategy during exercise is to enhance performance whilst
ensuring physiological limits are not surpassed, which has been shown to result in a …

Purpose: Few studies have assessed neuromuscular fatigue after self-paced locomotor
exercise; moreover, none have assessed the degree of supraspinal fatigue. This study …

Key points The purpose of this study was to determine the role of group III/IV muscle
afferents in limiting the endurance exercise‐induced metabolic perturbation assayed in …

Purpose: To analyze pacing strategies displayed by athletes achieving differing levels of
performance during an elite-level marathon race. Methods: Competitors in the 2009 IAAF …

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of time of day on performance, pacing, and
hormonal and metabolic responses during a 1000-m cycling time-trial. Nine male …

Objectives Whilst the presence of a competitor has been found to improve performance, the
mechanisms influencing the change in selected work rates during direct competition have …

Different pacing profiles have been identified in the literature for endurance sporting events:
the 'positive','negative','even','parabolic shaped'and 'variable pacing'. Most studies have …
