Summary

This study found that maximum running distance (D') and critical speed (CS) can be reliably measured in both laboratory and field settings using iso-duration runs. However, D' should be used cautiously due to questionable agreement between conditions.

Area of Science:

  • Exercise Physiology
  • Sports Science
  • Running Performance

Background:

  • Critical Speed (CS) is established in laboratory and field settings.
  • Maximum running distance (D") translation from lab to field is lacking.
  • Investigating interchangeable use of D" and CS parameters.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine if D" and CS are interchangeable between laboratory and field conditions.
  • To assess the validity of translating D" and CS measurements.
  • To provide practical recommendations for coaches and practitioners.

Main Methods:

  • 10 male participants performed iso-duration exhaustive runs.
  • Runs were conducted in both laboratory (treadmill) and field (outdoor track) settings.

  • D" and CS calculated using the inverse-time model (speed=D"/t+CS).

    • Main Results:

    • No significant differences found between laboratory and field D" (221±7m vs. 225±72m) and CS (3.75±0.36m/s vs. 3.77±0.35m/s).
    • Significant correlations observed between laboratory and field D" (r=0.86) and CS (r=0.94).
    • 95% Limits of Agreement were ±75.5m for D" and ±0.24m/s for CS.

    Conclusions:

    • Iso-duration testing allows for non-significant differences and significant correlations for D" and CS between lab and field.
    • The novel translation method is recommended for coaches and practitioners.
    • Caution is advised when using D" due to questionable agreement levels.
