The fall and rise of the gender difference in elite anaerobic performance 1952-2006
Article Abstract:
The historical evolution of performance for male and female athletes in anaerobically dominated sprint events of running, swimming and speed skating from 1952 to 2006 are analyzed. Results reveal that the performance difference between males and females has ceased to narrow and has actually widened since the mid-1990s, reflecting the physiological differences between males and females.

How do endurance runners actually train? Relationship with competition performance
Article Abstract:
The relationship between total training load and running performance during the most important competitions of the season such as the national cross-country championships is quantified. The findings suggest that a relationship might exist between the improved performance during the highly intense endurance events and the total training time spent at low intensities.

Regulation of energy expenditure during prolonged athletic competition
Article Abstract:
The exercise responses to repetitions of the same tour in successive years by the same athlete is evaluated with the intent of determining whether there is a pacing strategy used by the athlete to regulate energy expenditure over the duration of the tour.
