Why the study?
Does an imposed constant pace increase physiological strain compared to a freely chosen pace during a 10,000 m run in endurance-trained athletes?
Does an imposed constant pace increase physiological strain compared to a freely chosen pace during a 10,000 m run in endurance-trained athletes?
A freely paced 10,000 m run induces less physiological strain than a constant-paced run at the same average speed, suggesting that pace variation is a strategy to minimize strain during severe exercise.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Freely chosen pacing may lower strain in endurance exercise; leaves open translation to cardiac rehabilitation protocols.
Billat et al. (2006) studied this question.
