    Area of Science:

    • Exercise Physiology
    • Biomechanics
    • Sports Science

    Background:

    • Understanding the energy cost of running is crucial for predicting athletic performance.
    • Aerobic power, often measured as maximal oxygen uptake (VO2 max), is a key determinant of endurance capacity.
    • Previous methods for calculating running performance often require complex equipment or extensive data collection.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a simplified method for predicting running time based on aerobic power.
    • To provide a tool for calculating aerobic power from observed running performance.
    • To establish a relationship between energy cost, distance, body weight, and aerobic capacity.

    Main Methods:

    • The study utilizes a calculation based on the energy cost of running (approximately 1 cal/m/kg).

  • Aerobic power (VO2 max) is a primary input variable.
  • A nomogram is provided to simplify the calculation process.
  • The method assumes energy from glycolysis is equivalent to oxidative energy per minute.

    • Main Results:

    • A method is presented to predict the time required to cover a specific running distance.
    • The calculation can be reversed to determine aerobic power from the time taken to complete a distance.
    • The nomogram facilitates quick estimations of running time and aerobic power.

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed method offers a practical approach to estimate running performance and aerobic capacity.
    • This tool can be valuable for coaches, athletes, and researchers in exercise science.
    • The findings simplify the assessment of physiological parameters related to running endurance.
