This study aimed to evaluate the applicability of the 10-minute submaximal treadmill test (T10 test), a self-paced test, in determining critical speed (CS) and predicting running performance. Specifically, we sought to identify the percentage of T10 velocity (vT10) that runners performed in official distance races, and to compare physiological and performance indicators between sexes. 60 recreational runners (n=34 males and n=26 females) underwent a maximum incremental test, the novel T10 test, and ran 1200-m and 2400-m on the track.

Objectives: To analyze the perception of health and level of physical activity of bus drivers in urban public transportation in Chapecó, state of Santa Catarina.
We were interested in micro-variations in an athlete's psychophysical state that separate peak exertion from physiological collapse. Thus, we measured perceptual acuity in runners using a classic psychophysical approach, the (JND) on two standard stimuli runs at treadmill speed corresponding to 70%VO and 80%VO. Thirty-four male runners ( age = 35.
