Anaerobic Capacity in Running: The Effect of Computational Method.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

To date, no study has compared anaerobic capacity (AnC) estimates computed with the maximal accumulated oxygen deficit (MAOD) method and the gross energy cost (GEC) method applied to treadmill running exercise.

Purpose

Four different models for estimating anaerobic energy supply during treadmill running exercise were compared.

Methods

Fifteen endurance-trained recreational athletes performed, after a 10-min warm-up, five 4-min stages at ∼55-80% of peak oxygen uptake, and a 4-min time trial (TT). Two linear speed-metabolic rate (MR) regression models were used to estimate the instantaneous required MR during the TT (MR _{TT_req} ), either including (5+Y _LIN ) or excluding (5-Y _LIN ) a measured Y-intercept.
