Purpose: Endurance sports performance is influenced by several factors, including maximal oxygen uptake (⩒Omax), the percentage of ⩒Omax that can be sustained in endurance events, running economy, and body composition. Traditionally, ⩒Omax can be measured as an absolute value, adjusted for body mass, reflecting the athlete's central capacity (maximal cardiac output), or adjusted for lean mass (LM), reflecting the athlete's peripheral capacity (muscular oxidative capacity). The present study aims to evaluate absolute, total body mass, and lower limb LM-adjusted ⩒Omax, ventilatory thresholds (VT), respiratory compensation points (RCP), and body composition during two training periods separated by 8 months.
