Abstract Pacing strategy (PS) is the manner in which the velocity and the energy expenditure are distributed during a competition event. It has been indicated that the PS has a significant impact on endurance athletes' performance. Several findings have been suggested that the PS could be reliant on traditional endurance-related parameters, such as running economy (RE) and the minimal velocity that elicits the maximal oxygen consumption (vVO2máx). Additionally, neuromuscular factors have also been highlighted as important parameters for the performance in long duration events. As is already well stated, the strength training (ST) has been used as an efficient tool in the improvement of the aforementioned variables. Thus, it seems reasonable to suppose that the neuromuscular adaptations provided by the ST, followed by modifications on both RE and vVO2máx, are able to influence the PS adopted by long distance runners. Therefore, we aim to investigate if the PS is altered after a ST program. Our hypothesis is that the ST is able to modify the aforementioned characteristics, resulting in an alteration of the PS adopted by the runners in a 10-km running simulation. (AU) | |
