Key result
Seven weeks of preparatory phase training improved 5-km running performance (18.0 to 18.9 km/h), with changes in velocity at VO2max and vagally mediated HRV highly correlated with performance.

May support vVO2max and HRV monitoring in elite runners; hypothesis-generating and requires prospective trials before wider adoption.
Observational (n=6)
Does seven weeks of preparatory phase training improve aerobic parameters, resting HRV, and 5-km performance in high-level endurance runners?
Absolute Event Rate: 18.9% vs 18%
Changes in velocity associated with VO2max and vagally mediated HRV are highly associated with 5-km running performance and can be used to monitor training adaptation.
Silva et al. (2013) conducted an observational in High-level endurance runners (n=6). Preparatory phase training vs. Baseline (pre-training) was evaluated on 5-km performance (km/h). Seven weeks of preparatory phase training improved 5-km running performance (18.0 to 18.9 km/h), with changes in velocity at VO2max and vagally mediated HRV highly correlated with performance.
