TLDR
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.Abstract:
© 2017 American College of Sports MedicineDespite an intuitive relationship between technique and both running economy (RE) and performance, and the diverse techniques employed by runners to achieve forward locomotion, the objective importance of overall technique and the key components therein remain to be elucidated. PURPOSE: To determine the relationship between individual and combined kinematic measures of technique with both RE and performance. METHODS: Ninety-seven endurance runners (47 female) of diverse competitive standards performed a discontinuous protocol of incremental treadmill running (4 min stages, 1 km.h increments). Measurements included three-dimensional full body kinematics, respiratory gases to determine energy cost, and velocity of lactate turnpoint (vLTP). Five categories of kinematic measures (vertical oscillation, braking, posture, stride parameters and lower limb angles) and locomotory energy cost (LEc) were averaged across 10-12 km.h (the highest common velocityread more

TL;DR: This study examines the validity of a method to estimate sagittal knee joint angles and vertical ground reaction forces during running using an ambulatory minimal body-worn sensor setup and shows excellent agreement with the reference, for single subject training.

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: Novel data is reported on the O2 cost of running outdoors at 21.1 km/h, in world-class distance runners as part of Nike's 'Breaking 2' marathon project, which enables better modelling of possible marathon performances by elite athletes.

Real-time feedback by wearables in running: Current approaches, challenges and suggestions for improvements
TL;DR: The reasons why individuals run are discussed and it is proposed that feedback targeted to these reasons can improve motivation and compliance and how real-time feedback on running technique and workload can be applied to reduce injury risk and improve performance and motivation is proposed.

Controlling the false discovery rate: a practical and powerful approach to multiple testing
Yoav Benjamini,Yosef Hochberg +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a different approach to problems of multiple significance testing is presented, which calls for controlling the expected proportion of falsely rejected hypotheses -the false discovery rate, which is equivalent to the FWER when all hypotheses are true but is smaller otherwise.

Table of nonprotein respiratory quotient: an update.
TL;DR: The purpose of this paper is to point out some limits and inconsistencies in the table of nonprotein respiratory quotient that is universally used, developed by Lusk in 1924, which was derived from biochemical and physical data that are now outdated.

A 1% treadmill grade most accurately reflects the energetic cost of outdoor running
TL;DR: Equality of the energetic cost of treadmill and outdoor running is demonstrated with the use of a 1% treadmill grade over a duration of approximately 5 min and at velocities between 2.92 and 5.0 m s-1.

Factors Affecting Running Economy in Trained Distance Runners
TL;DR: There is a strong association between RE and distance running performance, with RE being a better predictor of performance than maximal oxygen uptake (V̇O2max) in elite runners who have a similar V̇ O2max.

Running economy and distance running performance of highly trained athletes.
TL;DR: It was concluded that among highly trained and experienced runners of comparable ability and similar Vo2max, running economy accounts for a large and significant amount of the variation observed in performance on a 10 km race.
