1. The relation of V(O2) and speed was measured on seven athletes running on a cinder track and an all-weather track. The results were compared with similar observations on four athletes running on a treadmill.2. In treadmill running the relation was linear and the zero intercept coincided with resting V(O2).3. In track running the relation was curvilinear, but was adequately represented by a linear regression over a range of speeds extending from 8.0 km/hr (2.2 m/sec) to 21.5 km/hr (6.0 m/sec). The slope of this line was substantially steeper than the regression line slope for treadmill running.4. The influence of air resistance in running was estimated from measurements of V(O2) on a subject running on a treadmill at constant speed against wind of varying velocity.5. The extra O(2) intake (DeltaV(O2)) associated with wind increased as the square of wind velocity. If wind velocity and running velocity are equal, as in running on a track in calm air, DeltaV(O2) will increase as the cube of velocity.6. It was estimated that the energy cost of overcoming air resistance in track running is about 8% of total energy cost at 21.5 km/hr (5000 m races) and 16% for sprinting 100 m in 10.0 sec.read more

Évaluation de VO2 max et de VMA, en laboratoire et sur le terrain
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compare the depense of energy and its limites in laboratoire and sur le terrain. But their main objective is to compare the performance of different variables, e.g., the consommation d'oxygene (VO2), le debit ventilatoire (VE) and la frequence cardiaque (FC).

TL;DR: The relationship is discussed between maximal oxygen uptake and ventilatory responses to exercise, hypoxia and hypercapnia and it is suggested that these may be related to athletic event.

The metabolic cost of overcoming air resistive forces in distance running
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified how small horizontal impeding forces (equivalent to aerodynamic forces) affect metabolic power and ground reaction forces over a range of velocities in competitive runners.

Boundary layer theory
TL;DR: The flow laws of the actual flows at high Reynolds numbers differ considerably from those of the laminar flows treated in the preceding part, denoted as turbulence as discussed by the authors, and the actual flow is very different from that of the Poiseuille flow.

Energy cost of running.
TL;DR: In this article, indirect calorimetric measurements were made on two athletes running at different speeds up to 22 km/hr at grades from -20 to +15; the function was found to be linearly related to speed.

Kinetics and mechanism of oxygen debt contraction in man
TL;DR: Oxygen consumption, along with lactic and pyruvic acid in blood, have been measured throughout the performance of heavy muscular exercise of different intensities, all leading to exhaustion in 1–10 minutes.

Balance and kinetics of anaerobic energy release during strenuous exercise in man
TL;DR: The alactacid oxygen debt contraction is a faster process and it requires 10–30 sec for completion, while the lactacid debt process is completed in about 40 sec in the most strenous exercise, therefore, at the highest workloads, the only energy source available after 40 sec resides in oxidative processes.
