Power‐Based Running Durability in Trained Runners: Preliminary Evidence of Speed‐Adjusted Mechanical Drift as a Marker of Fatigue
This study examined wearable‐derived running power and biomechanical variables as indicators of durability during prolonged dual‐intensity exercise in trained trail runners. Twelve trained trail runners completed a 216‐min treadmill prot...

Anaerobic Speed Reserve and Critical Speed as Predictors of 200 m Front Crawl Performance: A Practical Alternative to Physiological Testing in Trained Swimmers
Anaerobic speed reserve (ASR) and critical speed (CS) offer practical, performance‐based estimates of physiological tolerances, and can be derived from maximal aerobic speed (MAS) and maximal sprint speed (MSS) in swimming. We evaluated ...

Baseline Symptom Collection in Elite Rugby Union Players—Limited Clinical Utility? An Investigation of Assessments Across 5879 men and Women Athletes
In World Rugby's Head Injury Assessment (HIA) protocol, a modified Sports Concussion Assessment Tool (SCAT) is completed during the pre‐season (baseline) and when a player has a suspected head injury. The symptom component of the SCAT, w...

Correlation Properties of Heart Rate Variability for Exercise Intensity Monitoring and Prescription During Constant‐Load Cycling: A Comparison With Traditional Physiological Variables
This study investigated the applicability of the short‐term scaling exponent alpha 1 of detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA‐a1) as a marker of internal load during constant‐load cycling. The aim was to explore DFA‐a1 dynamics across the ...

Post‐Exercise R‐1,3‐Butanediol did not Improve Markers of Fatigue or Recovery During a Multi‐Stage Mountain Bike Race
Evidence suggests that exogenous ketosis (EK) induced by ketone monoester (KME) supports recovery and attenuates physiological stress during endurance exercise. However, the potential benefits of the ketone precursor R‐1,3‐butanediol (BD...
