Untrained 6- to 8-year-old children (N= 80) served as subjects in a cross sectional study of the fractional utilization of maximal aerobic power during submaximal running. Using the open-circuit method, the absolute oxygen demands of submaximal running were found to increase with age. When expressed relative to body weight, oxygen demands of submaximal running showed no statistically significant changes over the 3-year span. VOmax increased 36.2%, which was proportionally greater than the percentage increase for either body weight (28.4%) or the absolute oxygen demands of submaximal running (22.9%). Thus, during the span of years studied there was a significant reduction in the fractional utilization of maximal aerobic power required to run at a fixed submaximal speed.

End-tidal CO and ventilation: Novel markers for assessing performance levels in elite long-distance runners.
Respir Physiol Neurobiol
December 2024
The University of Sydney, Faculty of Medicine and Health, Susan Wakil Health Building, Western Avenue, Camperdown, NSW 2050, Australia. Electronic address:
Well-trained individuals, compared to less well-trained individuals, exhibit a lower minute ventilation (V̇) and higher end-tidal partial pressure of CO (PCO) at a given work rate. This study investigated whether such breathing adaptations seen in well-trained individuals also applied to elite long-distance runners. Forty-one long-distance runners were categorized into high (Long-High, consisting of Tokyo-Hakone College Ekiden [relay marathon] runners and Olympic athletes, n = 23), or low performance-level group (Long-Low, n = 18) according to their race times.

Introduction: Type 2 diabetes, characterized by hyperglycemia, is closely linked to obesity and low-grade inflammation. Acute cocoa flavanols (CF) intake has demonstrated benefits in vasoreactivity, cognitive functions, and antioxidant enzyme activity. However, the physiological mechanisms of CF concerning glucose uptake, inflammatory mediators, and their interplay with aerobic exercise remain unclear in populations with metabolic diseases.

Int J Sports Physiol Perform
January 2025
Universidad de Sevilla, Seville, Spain.
Purpose: In world-class middle- and long-distance running races, a Wavelight signal has recently been used as a pacing guide for setting records. The aim of the present study was to compare performance and psychophysiological effects between light-guided, drafting, and nonassisted pacing conditions in distance runners.
Methods: Fifteen male middle- and long-distance runners of national and regional standard ran three 5000-m time trials in a counterbalanced order with the following pacing distribution: the first 4000 m and last 1000 m were covered at submaximal and maximal intensities, respectively.
Persistent Lateral Knee Pain From a 10% Thickness Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Tear in a 36-Year-Old Runner.

Anatomical Sciences, Western University of Health Sciences, Lebanon, USA.
Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears are due to jumping, rapid decelerating, or quick changes in direction, but recent research indicates that accumulated tissue fatigue from repetitive submaximal knee loading can also cause ACL disruption. Partial degenerative ACL tears due to overuse are currently thought to be asymptomatic until the ligament is at least 50% torn. In this case, a 36-year-old female runner presenting with sharp lateral joint line knee pain, which precluded running or hiking over one mile, was found to have an atraumatic 10% thickness ACL tear.

Department of Physical Activity and Rehabilitation Sciences, University of Liege, Liege, Belgium.
Transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a non-invasive brain stimulation technique, has been shown to increase exercise performance in strength and cycling studies but its effects on running endurance remain unclear. The objectives of this randomized sham-controlled crossover trial were to assess tDCS efficacy on submaximal treadmill running time to exhaustion (TTE). Forty-five healthy male runners aged between 18 and 32 years (mean maximal oxygen consumption: 46.
