[Vdot]O2max, [Vdot)O2VT2, and v VT2 discriminate between elite middle-distance and long-distance runners.Abstract:
The aim of this study was to determine which physiological variables predict excellence in middle- and long-distance runners. Forty middle-distance runners (age 23 ± 4 years, body mass 67.2 ± 5.9 kg, stature 1.80 ± 0.05 m, [Vdot]O2max 65.9 ± 4.5 ml · kg−1 · min−1) and 32 long-distance runners (age 25 ± 4 years, body mass 59.8 ± 5.1 kg, stature 1.73 ± 0.06 m, [Vdot]O2max 71.6 ± 5.0 ml · kg−1 · min−1) competing at international standard performed an incremental running test to exhaustion. Expired gas analysis was performed breath-by-breath and maximum oxygen uptake ([Vdot]O2max) and two ventilatory thresholds (VT1 and VT2) were calculated. Long-distance runners presented a higher [Vdot]O2max than middle-distance runners when expressed relative to body mass (P < 0.001, d = 1.18, 95% CI [0.68, 1.68]). At the intensities corresponding to VT1 and VT2, long-distance runners showed higher values for [Vdot]O2 expressed relative to body mass or %[Vdot]O2max, speed and oxygen cost of running (P < 0.05).

Effects of Strength Training on the Physiological Determinants of Middle- and Long-Distance Running Performance: A Systematic Review.
TL;DR: There was good evidence that ST improves RE, TT, and sprint performance, but this was not a consistent finding across all works that were reviewed, which may explain the discrepancies in findings.

TL;DR: It is suggested that the presence of competitors induces a fast start, which results in an improved overall performance and reduced post-exercise vigor scores, compared to an individual run.

TL;DR: It is suggested that predictors of the pacing strategy during a 10-km running time trial have a transitional behavior from perceptive (start phase) to muscular and physiological factors (middle and end phases).

Measuring Physical Demands in Basketball: An Explorative Systematic Review of Practices
TL;DR: This systematic review comprehensively evaluated the current body of literature related to training load monitoring in basketball and provided specific guidelines for defining and applying duration measurement methodologies, vetting the validity and reliability of measurement tools, and classifying competition level in basketball to address some of the identified knowledge gaps.

A new method for detecting anaerobic threshold by gas exchange
TL;DR: From incremental exercise tests on 10 subjects, the point of excess CO2 output (AT) predicted closely the lactate and HCO-3 thresholds and could be more reliably determined by the V-slope method.

Limiting factors for maximum oxygen uptake and determinants of endurance performance.
TL;DR: VO2max is an important variable that sets the upper limit for endurance performance (an athlete cannot operate above 100% VO2max, for extended periods).

Size and shape in biology.
TL;DR: The model proposed here promises useful answers in comparisons of living things on both the microscopic and the gross scale, as part of the growing science of form, which asks precisely how organisms are diverse and yet again how they are alike.
