Abstract in brief

  • Running economy (RE) measures how efficiently a runner uses energy at a submaximal speed, mainly by analyzing oxygen consumption and respiratory exchange ratio.
  • RE is a strong predictor of distance running performance, often more so than VO2max, especially among elite athletes with similar VO2max levels.
  • Various physiological and biomechanical factors, such as muscle adaptations, elastic energy storage, and running mechanics, influence RE, and interventions aim to enhance this efficiency in trained runners.]

Let’s briefly break down AFT vs older tech. AFT works by improving running economy (RE), which is the gross metabolic demand at a given speed. RE can be a key performance difference at a given comp level (https://t.co/K5ZDpNywT8)
