Why the study?
Does pacing strategy influence the oxygen uptake attained during an 800-m pace run in male middle-distance runners?
Does pacing strategy influence the oxygen uptake attained during an 800-m pace run in male middle-distance runners?
In middle-distance runners, pacing strategy influences the oxygen uptake attained during an 800-m run, with race simulation yielding the highest VO2, though all strategies remain below VO2max.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Pacing may influence %VO2max in 800-m runs; leaves open optimal strategies for middle-distance athletes.
Sandals et al. (2006) studied this question.
