Using Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Wearable Devices to Identify Central Versus Peripheral Limitations During Exercise.
J Vis Exp
December 2024
Laboratory of Exercise Physiology, Department of Kinesiology, School of Health Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile;
Article Synopsis
- The gold standard for measuring aerobic capacity in athletes is the VO2-max test, but it doesn't provide insights into muscular metabolic changes.
- Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is a new technology that measures local oxygen levels in tissues, helping assess both breathing costs and muscle workload during exercise.
- By analyzing changes in oxygen levels and tissue saturation, coaches and exercise physiologists can identify limitations in endurance training, improving athletic performance through tailored strategies.
Warm-Up in Triathlon: Do Triathletes Follow the Scientific Guidelines?
Int J Sports Physiol Perform
December 2024
Department of Movement, Human and Health Sciences, University of Rome "Foro Italico," Rome, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- The study explores warm-up strategies used by triathletes and recommended by coaches for Olympic-distance races, aiming to optimize performance due to the importance of a fast start. //! -
- An online survey was conducted with 79 triathletes and 19 coaches from Italy, France, and Spain, revealing that most athletes favored a cycle-run-swim warm-up lasting 90 minutes, exceeding the 62.5 minutes suggested by coaches. //! -
- Findings indicate that many triathletes adopt lengthy warm-up routines and only a small percentage perform conditioning exercises shortly before the race, suggesting a need for better education on effective warm-up practices.
How Do Age-Group Triathlon Coaches Manage Training Load? A Pilot Study.

Discipline of Sport and Exercise Science, University of Canberra Research Institute of Sport and Exercise, Canberra 2617, Australia.
Multidisciplinary sports like triathlons require combining training for three different sports, and it is unclear how triathlon coaches manage this. During a 10-week period, we provided four age-group triathlon coaches with summary reports of the training completed by their athletes (n = 10) in the previous week. Coaches were then asked if the information provided to them was used to inform training prescription for the following week.

Background: Our scientific understanding of the mechanistic and practical connections between training session prescriptions, their execution by athletes, and adaptations over time in elite endurance sports remains limited. These connections are fundamental to the art and science of coaching.
Objective: By using successful Norwegian endurance coaches as key informants, the aim of this study is to describe and compare best practice session models across different exercise intensities in Olympic endurance sports.
