In recent years (2011-2016), men's 800-m championship running performances have required greater speed than previous eras (2000-2009). The "anaerobic reserve" (ASR) may be a key differentiator of this performance, but profiles elite runners and their relationship to performance time yet determined.The ASR-determined as the difference between maximal sprint (MSS) predicted aerobic (MAS)-of 19 800- 1500-m was assessed using 50-m race times. Profiles 3 athlete subgroups were examined cluster...
Environmental factors such as climate and pollution form a key part of major championship preparation.1 The Tokyo 2020 Olympic/Paralympic Games will present unique combination high thermal ozone stressors. Japan has the highest levels in Organisation for Economic Co-operation Development; with annual peak values (65–73 ppb) aligning schedules (23 July to 5 September 2021). Herein, we provide synopsis effects potential mitigating air on athlete health performance. We integrate these...
To assess the longitudinal evolution of tactical behaviors used to medal in men's 800-m Olympic Games (OG) or world-championship (WC) events recent competition era (2000-2016).Thirteen OG and WC were characterized for 1st- 2nd-lap splits using available footage from YouTube. Positive pacing strategies defined as a faster 1st lap. Season's best time world ranking, reflective an athlete's "peak condition," obtained determine relationships between adopted tactics physical condition prior...
Anaerobic speed reserve (ASR), defined as the range from velocity associated with maximal oxygen uptake (vVO2max) to sprint speed, has recently been shown be an important tool for middle-distance coaches meet event surge demands and inform on complexity of athlete profiles. To enable field application ASR, relationship between gun-to-tape 1500-m average (1500v) vVO2max determination lower landmark ASR was assessed in elite runners.A total 8 national 4 international runners completed a...
Short-track speed skating race distances of 500, 1000, and 1500 m that last ∼40 seconds to ∼2.5 minutes require a maximal intensity at speeds beyond oxygen uptake (VO2max). Recently, the anaerobic reserve (ASR) has been applied by scientists coaches in middle-distance sports deepen understanding 1- 5-minute event performance where different physiological profiles (speed, hybrid, endurance) can have success.
Background: 1500m running has long been a blue ribbon event of track championship racing. The eventual medalists employ common tactical behaviors such as fast sustained pace from the start (gun-to-tape), or, slow initial laps that precede precisely timed race kick. Before kick, there are positional changes caused by surging, can go uncharacterized. inter-relationship surge events, positioning and kick execution may have important implications for medal winning outcomes require further...
