The utility of a submaximal warm up, for monitoring training response
18 December 2017
This research will be assessing how running performance in a simple, sub-maximal warm up, before training sessions, can give coaches key information about how physically tired the athlete is as a result of previous training sessions, and how ready they are to perform in competition.
We are recruiting competitive male and female runners (> 3 run based training sessions per week –amounting to >30km/wk) between ages 18-55 years of age.
