Description
Summary:To determine the differences in axial accelerations and running economy between collegiate runners (RUN) with high or low VO sub(2max) and cyclists (CYC) of comparable cardiovascular fitness during treadmill locomotion. Subjects gave informed consented to procedures approved by the EMU- CHHS Human Subjects Review Committee. 16 NCAA DI distance runners, divided by VO sub(2max) into HI (66.3+ or -0.4 kg, 68.7+ or -1.9 ml/kg/min) or LO (66.1+ or -0.5 kg, 59.9+ or -5.1ml/kg/min), and 8 cyclists (CYC; 73.5+ or -4.9 kg, 60.7+ or -3.8 ml/kg/min) performed incremental VO sub(2max) trials starting at 8 kph and increasing 2 kph every 3 min until exhaustion while wearing HRA (Microstrain, VT; 617 Hz). CYC VO sub(2max) was significantly lower than HI (p
