Highlights:
Trunk frontal plane kinematics is the most sensitive parameter to fatigue. Practitioners should consider this finding during endurance training.Kinetics exhibit a stable linear increase in mean values but a non-linear increase in variance during an exhaustive incremental treadmill run. This may affect training at a submaximal fatigued state.Specific areas in the joint distributions of kinetics and kinematics during treadmill running exhibit increased sensitivity in predicting fatigue state.

Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
