Effect of General Warm-Up Plus Dynamic Stretching on Endurance Running Performance in Well-Trained Male Runners.

: The purpose of this study was to compare the acute effects of general warm-up (GWU) and GWU plus dynamic stretching (GWU + DS) on endurance running performance in well-trained male runners. : The endurance running performances of eight well-trained long-distance male runners were assessed on a treadmill after 2 types of intervention for 5 min after running on the treadmill at a velocity equivalent to 70% maximal oxygen uptake (V̇Omax) in each athlete for 15 min. The interventions were GWU and GWU + DS.

Effects of 3-Week Work-Matched High-Intensity Intermittent Cycling Training with Different Cadences on VO in University Athletes.

The aim of this study is to clarify the effects of 3-week work-matched high-intensity intermittent cycling training (HIICT) with different cadences on the VO of university athletes. Eighteen university athletes performed HIICT with either 60 rpm ( = 9) or 120 rpm ( = 9). The HIICT consisted of eight sets of 20 s exercise with a 10 s passive rest between each set.
