The “Endurance Parameter Ratio” of the Power-Duration Curve and Race Variation Strategy for Distance Running

  • Chapter

Abstract

The physiological determinants of the running speed, and its variation, that will maximize an endurance athlete’s ability to succeed in winning a race are poorly understood. One aspect of the physiological basis of race-pace strategy that has not received appropriate consideration is that of the power-endurance time constraint.
