Why the study?
Is enhanced postexercise vasodilatation and low sympathetic drive related to fast marathon performance in healthy amateur runners?
Is enhanced postexercise vasodilatation and low sympathetic drive related to fast marathon performance in healthy amateur runners?
Fast marathon performance is associated with low sympathetic modulation of vasomotor tone, maintained stroke index postcompetition, and enhanced exercise-induced vasodilatation.

Should not yet inform runner preparation; hypothesis-generating for sympathetic and vascular determinants of endurance performance.
Gratze et al. (2008) studied this question.
