Abstract in brief

  • Running economy, the ability to run effectively with less oxygen consumption, has been less studied but is crucial for elite performance, alongside VO2max and endurance.
  • It is typically measured by assessing steady-state oxygen uptake at specific intensities, with current methods focusing on a standard running speed or oxygen cost per kilometer.
  • While East African runners may be naturally more economical due to physical traits, strategies to improve running economy are still being developed, with high-intensity running showing potential benefits.]
