Book excerpt: Reviews of The Science of Running:"The Science of Running sets the new standard for training theory and physiological data. Every veteran and beginner distance coach needs to have this on their book shelf."-Alan WebbAmerican Record Holder-Mile 3:46.91 "For anyone serious about running, The Science of Running offers the latest information and research for optimizing not only your understanding of training but also your performance. If you want to delve deeper into the world of running and training, this book is for you. You will never look at running the same."-Jackie Areson, 15th at the 2013 World Championships in the 5k. 15:12 5,000m best If you are looking for how to finish your first 5k, this book isn't for you. The Science of Running is written for those of us looking to maximize our performance, get as close to our limits as possible, and more than anything find out how good we can be, or how good our athletes can be. In The Science of Running, elite coach and exercise physiologist Steve Magness integrates the latest research with the training processes of the world's best runners, to deliver an in depth look at how to maximize your performance. It is a unique book that conquers both the scientific and practical points of running in two different sections. The first is aimed at identifying what limits running performance from a scientific standpoint. You will take a tour through the inside of the body, learning what causes fatigue, how we produce energy to run, and how the brain functions to hold you back from super-human performance. In section two, we turn to the practical application of this information and focus on the process of training to achieve your goals. You will learn how to develop training plans and to look at training in a completely different way. The Science of Running does not hold back information and is sure to challenge you to become a better athlete, coach, or exercise scientist in covering such topics as:· What is fatigue? The latest research on looking at fatigue from a brain centered view.· Why VO2max is the most overrated and misunderstood concept in both the lab and on the track· Why "zone" training leads to suboptimal performance.· How to properly individualize training for your own unique physiology.· How to look at the training process in a unique way in terms of stimulus and adaptation.· Full sample training programs from 800m to the marathon.

Download or read book Achilles Tendon Changes in Downhill Level and Uphill Running written by Katy Andrews Neves and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this study, we examined how hill running affects the Achilles tendon, which is a common location for injuries in runners. Twenty females ran for 10 min on three randomly selected grades (-6%, 0%, +6%). Achilles tendon (AT) cross-sectional area (CSA) was imaged using Doppler ultrasound and peak vertical forces were analyzed using high-speed (240 Hz) videography. A metabolic cart and gas analyzer ensured a similar metabolic cost across grades. Data were analyzed using a forward selection regression. Results showed a decrease in AT CSA from pre-run to post-run (p=.0001). Peak vertical forces were different across grades (p= .0001) with the largest occurring during downhill running and smallest during uphill running. The results suggest that the Achilles tendon is affected by running and a decrease in CSA appears to be a normal response. The AT CSA does not differ between grade conditions when metabolic cost of running is matched, suggesting an adaptive effect of the AT. Coaches and athletes can use this knowledge to develop workout protocols that transition runners to downhill running and allow them to adapt to these greater forces.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Purpose: To investigate the relationship between pacing strategy and performance at The Jelm Mountain Run and to provide further insight into optimal pacing during uphill and downhill running. Methods: The Jelm Mountain Run is a 10.2 mile running race with an uphill first half and a downhill second half. 18-years of race-data were analyzed to identify the relationship between pacing and performance. A pacing coefficient was used to define participants’ pacing strategy and was equal to their ascent time divided by their finishing time. The ACSM metabolic running equation was used to estimate total race energy expenditure and differences between the ascent and descent. Statistical analyses compared participants’ pacing coefficient to their finishing time and finishing place within their age and gender category. Results: Larger pacing coefficients were associated with faster finishing times (r2 = 0.120. p

Download or read book Kinematics and Kinetics of the Lower Limb In Uphill and Downhill Running written by Erik Kowalski and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: His study investigated the lower limb biomechanics during downhill and uphill running in habitual forefoot strike and habitual rearfoot strike runners. Fifteen habitual forefoot strike and fifteen habitual rearfoot strike recreational male runners ran at 3 m/s ± 5% during level, uphill and downhill overground running on a ramp mounted at 6° and 9°. Results showed that hill running had similar impacts on joint angles in rearfoot strike and forefoot strike runners, causing a decrease in hip flexion at initial contact during downhill running, an increase in knee flexion angle at initial contact during uphill running and a decrease in peak hip flexion angle. In addition to differences in ankle joint angle due to landing pattern difference between rearfoot strike and forefoot strike runners, forefoot strike runners had a more flexed hip angle during downhill running. Forefoot strike runners had an absent impact peak in all running conditions, while the impact peaks only decreased during the uphill conditions in rearfoot strike runners. Active peaks decreased during the downhill conditions in forefoot strike runners while active loading rates increased during downhill conditions in rearfoot strike runners. Compared to the level condition, parallel braking peaks were larger during downhill conditions and parallel propulsive peaks were larger during uphill conditions. Peak hip flexion moment was significantly greater while peak knee flexion moment was significantly lower in both groups during the downhill 9° condition. Forefoot strike runners had larger peak plantar flexion moments and peak ankle power absorption compared to rearfoot strike runners during all conditions. Forefoot strike runners had decreased peak power absorption at the knee joint during downhill and level running conditions. Combined with previous biomechanics studies, our findings of no impact peak in forefoot strike runners suggests that this landing pattern may have potential in reducing overuse running injuries. Forefoot strike running reduces loading at the knee joint and can be used as an effective strategy to reduce stress at the knee joint experienced with rearfoot strike running.
