TL;DR: The findings suggest that NO3− supplementation may promote NO production via the nitrate-nitrite-NO pathway and enhance Yo–Yo IR1 test performance, perhaps by facilitating greater muscle glucose uptake or by better maintaining muscle excitability.

TL;DR: The gas exchange threshold and the critical power demarcate discrete exercise intensity domains and for the first time it is shown that the limit of tolerance during whole body exercise within these domains is characterized by distinct metabolic and neuromuscular responses.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented consistent with the contrary conclusion that as presently defined, MLSS naturally underestimates the actual maximal metabolic steady state; and that CP alone represents the boundary between discrete exercise intensity domains within which the dynamic cardiorespiratory and muscle metabolic responses to exercise differ profoundly.

TL;DR: This study provides novel and robust evidence that technique explains a substantial proportion of the variance in RE and performance and recommends that runners and coaches are attentive to specific aspects of stride parameters and lower limb angles in part to optimize pelvis movement, and ultimately enhance performance.

TL;DR: These findings suggest that dietary NO3− enhances repeated sprint performance and may attenuate the decline in cognitive function (and specifically reaction time) that may occur during prolonged intermittent exercise.
