Integration of Wearable Sensors Into the Evaluation of Running Economy and Foot Mechanics in Elite Runners
Running economy, known as the steady-state oxygen consumption at a given submaximal intensity, has been proposed as one of the key factors differentiating East African runners from other running communities around the world. Kenyan runners have dominated middle- and long-distance running events and this phenomenon has been attributed, in part at least, to their exceptional running economy. Despite such speculation, there are no data on running mechanics during real-life situations such as during training or competition. The use of innovative wearable devices together with real-time analysis of data will represent a paradig...

Outdoor physical activity bears multiple benefits to health and society.
CONCLUSIONS: Giving the beneficial effects of outdoor sports and -physical activities, promotion strategies should be strongly advocated and developed nationally and globally. Likewise, dedicated research areas should inspire guidelines for the promotion of various outdoor activities - a good practice for the social scenario and the healthcare system.

Does treadmill running performance, heart rate and breathing rate response during maximal graded exercise improve after volitional respiratory muscle training?
CONCLUSIONS: We hypothesize that these changes are probably due to VRMT induced learnt behaviour to control the breathing pattern that improves breathing economy, improvement in respiratory muscle aerobic capacity, attenuation of respiratory muscle metabo-reflex, increase in cardiac stroke volume and autonomic resetting towards parasympatho-dominance. Yogic Pranayama based VRMT can be used in sports conditioning programme of athletes to further improve their maximal exercise performance, and as part of rehabilitation training during return from injury.

Genetic Approaches for Sports Performance: How Far Away Are We?
AbstractHumans vary in their ‘natural ability’ related to sports performance. One facet of natural ability reflects so-called intrinsic ability or the ability to do well with minimal training. A second facet of natural ability is how rapidly an individual adapts to training; this is termed trainability. A third facet is the upper limit achievable after years of prolonged intense training; this represents both intrinsic ability and also trainability. There are other features of natural ability to consider, for example body size, because some events, sports, or positions favor participants of different sizes. In this co ...

Bone Stress Injuries in Runners Using Carbon Fiber Plate Footwear
This article is intended (1) to raise awareness on possible health concerns around the use of carbon fiber plate footwear, (2) to suggest a slow gradual transition from habitual to carbon fiber plate footwear, and (3) to foster medical research related to carbon fiber plate technology and injuries.

Sports and Exercise Therapists - working across the physical activity spectrum
There is a growing recognition of the impact of musculoskeletal (MSK) conditions on people, employers, the health service and the economy. MSK conditions are now recognised as one of six major health disorders contributing to the burden of disease in England.1 Interestingly, the Government in England is looking to resource MSK provisions via leisure and community settings, with an initiative using MSK Hubs.2 It is an innovative idea but raises questions such as: Where will the workforce come from, and which practitioners have the expertise to deal with the prevention, treatment and rehabilitation of MSK conditions within a...

Changes in laboratory and field-based measurements in highly trained endurance runners across a training year.
We examined the effects of one year's endurance training on laboratory and field-based fitness measures in highly trained distance runners. Fourteen distance runners (mean±SD: age 28±8 y, body mass 67.0±6.3 kg, VO2max 69.8±6.3 mL.kg(-1).min(-1)) with at least 2 years competitive experience completed 5 laboratory and 9 field tests across a 12 month period, during which time training volume and intensity were monitored. The laboratory tests measured VO2max, lactate threshold (LT) and running economy, whilst the field tests measured critical speed (CS) and the maximum distance that can be performed above CS (D'). The data...

Individual Responses to a Barefoot Running Program: Insight Into Risk of Injury
Conclusion:
Eight weeks of progressive barefoot running did not change overall group biomechanics, but subgroups of responders (25% of the entire group) were identified who had specific changes that reduced the initial loading rate. It appears that changes in initial loading rate are explained by changes in ankle flexion angle at initial ground contact.
Clinical Relevance:
Uninstructed barefoot running training does not reduce initial loading rate in all runners transitioning from shod to barefoot conditions. Some factors have been identified that may assist sports medicine professionals in the evaluation and management o...

Intensity related changes of running economy in recreational level distance runners.
Conclusion: Running Economy, even assessed at low intensity, is strongly related to running performance in recreational athletes. Both calculation methods used (OC and CUC) are sensitive for monitoring intensity related changes of substrate utilization. RE values decreased with higher running intensity indicating an increase of anaerobic- and subsequent decrease of aerobic substrate utilization.

Determinant factors of peak treadmill speed in physically active men.
CONCLUSIONS: In conclusion, the results of the present study demonstrate that PTS, an important predictor of endurance performance, is determined by both physiological (i.e., RCP, and RE) and muscular (1RM) parameters in healthy active individuals. These results demonstrate that, during a physical evaluation, PTS is able to represent physiological and muscular parameters of physically active individuals. This has the advantage during aerobic fitness evaluations of not requiring expensive equipment and specialized software.

Effects of minimal dose of strength training on running performance in female recreational runners.
CONCLUSIONS: The findings suggest strength training in volume 30 min or 1 hour per week was sufficient to increase maximal running performance, however it did not lead to improvement in running economy or aerobic capacity.

Running economy and energy cost of running with backpacks.
CONCLUSIONS: Running economy deteriorates and cardiovascular effort increases while running with additional backpack weight especially at higher submaximal running speeds. Backpack weight should therefore be kept to a minimum.
